Because geeking out is better with beer

SIG-beer, n., origin lost to intoxication:

1. Special Interest Group - Beer!
   
2. An Interprocessor Communications (IPC) signal that should be implemented in every O/S kernel. Semantics are left to the hardware driver for the Robotic Drinks Server. Expected behavior is that kill -beer <pid>
3. A standing monthly gathering of systems administrators, past/present/future, and their ilk in Washington, DC. and other worldwide locations. These gathering consists of a friendly gathering of people who enjoy tasting/drinking interesting beer and chatting about computers, life, and how to implement the SIG-beer into their systems. It started with a group of dc.sage sysadmins some time in 1997.
