Drift (telecommunication)
In telecommunication, a drift is a comparatively long-term change in an attribute, value, or operational parameter of a system or equipment. The drift should be characterized, such as "diurnal frequency drift" and "output level drift." Drift is usually undesirable and unidirectional, but may be bidirectional, cyclic, or of such long-term duration and low excursion rate as to be negligible.
Drift is also common in pseudo-synchronised streaming applications, such as low-latency audio streaming over TCP/IP. Normally both ends of a streaming connection would stay in-sync with a master clock but TCP/IP does not provide this 'master clock' mechanism. Therefore applications running fixed clocks will drift apart over time and glitches will occur. This is usually fixed by controlling jitter or drift, by slightly altering the clock speed at one end of the connection.

Icebreaker (clothing)
Icebreaker is a privately held merino wool outdoor and sport clothing designer and manufacturer, headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand. It was founded in 1994 by Jeremy Moon, and now supplies its clothing to more than 4,700 stores in 50 countries. The company began by specialising in the production of merino base layer long underwear.
History
Icebreaker started when, in 1994, an American girlfriend introduced Jeremy Moon, then 24, to a merino wool farmer she had stayed with as she backpacked around New Zealand. Brian and Fiona Brakenridge lived on the remote Pohuenui Island in Marlborough with their two sons Ben and Sam and 5,000 sheep. They had developed some prototype thermal underwear made from 100% pure New Zealand merino wool, a fibre that was then of such little value that it was sold at low cost to be blended with traditional wool.
Icebreaker began selling its products in New Zealand, followed by Australia. The company has been growing in Europe and acquiring its distributors there. In 2010, one in every three Icebreaker garments is now sold in Europe, now one of Icebreaker’s largest markets. In 2010 company sales were approximately $100 million.

Rifftrax Notoriety
The creators of Mystery Science Theater 3000, who had previously lampooned Giancola's Tangents (Timechasers) on that show, released a joke track to this film with their newer cult program Rifftrax which was released in January 2016. This is the second of Giancola's films to be joked upon by the comedians.
