I've come across the phrase multiple times the past month or so, usually when talking about functionality. Is this any different than saying 'built-in', or carry with it any specific connotations?

From dictionary.com:
a. (Computers) to incorporate (a feature) as part of a
system or piece of software or hardware while it is still in
development: The location-tracking service is baked in the new app.
Security features come baked into the operating system.
b. To include
as an inseparable or permanent part: Baked into the price of the
product is the cost of advertising.

Your assumptions are correct. It pretty much means that you don't have to do anything special to install this functionality. It's built in. Already there.
Other variants are:
Rolled in
Built in
Native

I've been looking at OpsCode's Chef, which seems pretty cool. I was wondering if anyone else had encountered useful tools?
The classic is cfengine. It's been around forever.
CFEngine has indeed been around forever, but the newest version (CFEngine 3) is a complete rewrite from previous versions. The policy language in CF3 is redesigned to make it more consistent and extensible. There's also now, if you are so inclined, a commercial version that has a nice graphical user interface and other enhancements.
There's a whole lot of information about CFEngine at http://cfengine.com/tech

Is mysql license needed for sites like facebook, twitter etc.. i dont know which category they fall into. thats why.
No, they can use GPL which is freely available. They would need to make Software that links to MySQL like a library or is even based on MySQL GPL, too, but as far as I know, they are not doing any of that. Even if, the GPL would force them to pass on the source code to anyone to whom they give the binary. Since they are not giving away the binary to anyone, there would not be a problem either ;-).

I'm trying create my own carbon footprint calculator, but I'm having trouble finding all the proper equations and such online, anyone know of any decent resources?
Wow, that is a huge question. In part because "all the proper equations" really depend on who is doing the asking. I would start here: http://www.withouthotair.com/
This resource is HUGE for this. =)
I think this project sounds very interesting!
If you are familiar with web development, it would be very cool to make this a web-based project, which allows for constant growth and development of the equations. You could even make it so that users of your web site can view the equations you are using, and input their own equations. Maybe you could even consider some sort of mechanism to fold back user equations into the base - or set up multiple different bases for different users of different lifestyles.
I didn't directly answer your question, but I hope these concepts are interesting and useful to you.

I'm looking for a Common Lisp implementation I ran across once, sometime in the past year or two. I only remember a few things, and I don't know how to search for it based on these facts, so maybe somebody here can help.
it was open-source, but wasn't one of the big ones (SBCL, CMUCL, MCL, etc.)
it was likely incomplete; it looked almost more like an exercise in writing the simplest possible self-hosted Common Lisp
the main webpage was plain black-on-white, and had 2 columns, where the left column was a link to the source file for a particular area of functionality (loop, format, clos, etc.), and the right column was a link to the tests for that functionality
the source files themselves were pretty-printed for the web, with syntax highlighting that looked kind of like an old Redhat Emacs default config: slate-gray background, etc.
Where can I find this Lisp implementation?
Thanks!
I don't know which one you are referring too, but you can find a list of Common Lisp Implementations here.
Is there any particular reason why this Lisp is grabbing your attention now?
Its hard to pin down, but open-source + minimalistic + incomplete sounds vaugely similar to Paul Graham's Arc programming language.

I want to use CxxTest for unit-testing in an application. I do not want to be forced to release source code or object files. The LGPL (under which CxxTest is released) is confusing on this issue.
Am I ok? Do I need to do something special?
As long as you're not distributing your tests it's not something you need to worry about.
If money is involved, you need to consult with an attorney. LGPL is not straightforward.
From what I can see, you'll be alright with the LGPL, however,
If it is a derivative work, then the terms must allow "modification for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications."
