Re: [OT] how to pronounce Apache ?
Apache has NOTHING to do with indigenous American people.
It stands for "a patchy" software.

Let's set the record straight here and turn to the source for
information, the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). ASF states that the
Apache webserver is indeed, first and foremost, named out of respect for
"indigenous American people":
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#name
"The name 'Apache' was chosen from respect for the Native American
Indian tribe of Apache (Indé), well-known for their superior skills in
warfare strategy and their inexhaustible endurance. For more information
on the Apache Nation, we suggest searching Google, Northernlight, or
AllTheWeb.
"Secondarily, and more popularly (though incorrectly) accepted, it's a
considered cute name which stuck. Apache is 'A PAtCHy server'. It was
based on some existing code and a series of 'patch files'."
Check your sources folks. While the more popular "A PAtCHy server" is
legendary, it is incorrectly attributed as the reason for the server's name.
And in closing John is right, I don't think that the original poster was
looking for a thread on the geneology of the name given to the leading
HTTPD server, but for the correct pronunciation. M-W.com has the following:
&-'pa-chE
For more information on pronunciation, see http://www.m-w.com/pronguid2.htm

Sheesh...that wasn't the poster's point. The point was: "the
pronunciation is the same as the pronunciation of "Apache" when the
context is "a Native American people".

If that's a pun, it's a bit out of place. If it's a joke, so be it. If it is an oppinion, then you got something mixed up - what's the feather on the web site for?
Nix.
