Gigaflop.

Defined as a billion floating-point operations per second.

NIC Card... it just makes me laugh every time someone says it!

I was at an electronics store (Fry's) a few weeks ago and one of the sales guys was trying to make a sale off a lady who knew about as much about computers as I know about purses (had to go shopping with the woman on Friday, amazing how long it takes to find the right purse..) and he said NIC Card.. I could not help but laugh.

I also like the phrase "It's okay to act SCSI every once in awhile."

$U$$ YOU $$$$$ !!!!!!!! $$$$$

It happens just after the screen goes all blues or the mouse & keyboard locks up.

EDIT NOTE
By the way I have not got around yet too giving my computer the "Binary four" sign

It changes from day to day. Today it's JBOD (just a bunch of disks). It usually creeps into my mind when a RAID array is just about to fail...oh no

WYSIWYG (if i spelt that right)

or "yottaflop" I just made that up, out of yottabyte and gigaflop, but no doubt it will exist someday
