*whip crack* WORK SLAVE! *whip crack* Seriously, though as much as everyone wants to imagine you to be coding nonstop, you're free to do whatever you want. Also, I figure most people would be happy if you made a video or posted some nifty pictures. Enjoy your Pandora and then taunt us on the...

http://www.paul.sladen.org/pronunciation/torvalds-says-linux.mp3 .cnt is the extension for WinHelp's table of contents. Edit: For some reason, I can't see the little audioplayer thing on the forums, but I posted an mp3 of Linus Torvalds saying Linux...

I say bitmap. In that case, saying B M P is actually longer than saying the actual word >.> The word acronym was coined in 1943 by Bell Laboratories for any word made up of the first letters of a series of words. That means HTML, VGA, GUI, FBI, SCUBA, and LASER are all acronyms. Initialisms...

I pronounce GIF as 'Gif' like gift with a silent t. I listed a bunch of acronyms that are commonly said as words in the other thread, but GUI is listed in most dictionaries as having the pronunciation of "gooey" and gui is a Korean dish that's also pronounced "gooey". People will probably know...

He might be describing what he uses the ports as, which is a disturbing thought. We need to eventually pull this thread back to the original topic and then merge back in.

I really wish these forums would stop breaking my flash so that I could reply without having to type my posts in a separate text editor. Laser=Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation THAC0=To hit armor class 0. It's from D&D Scuba=Self-contained underwater breathing apparatus...

"Gooey" appears to be the pronunciation used by dictionaries. Also gui is a korean dish pronounce "gooey". Do you say C D R O M or C D rahm? L A S E R or laser? A I D S or AIDS? T H A C 0 or Thack-oh? S C U B A or scuba? L S A T or L sat? J P E G or J peg? G N U or gnu? L A M E or lame? F U B A...

Or too young. "O M G L O L that G U I was like W T F!!!1!" Yes, I have heard similar statements out loud while the person was being completely serious. They should burn for that.

"Look at those massive claws! It could tear a tank to shreds!" I think that was the reference >.>

Things like EWJ is for typing purposes. That's one that most people wouldn't be saying out loud (or at least shouldn't). Just thought of a fun acronym said as a word: THAC0. Thack-oh.

I've found myself pronouncing more and more acronyms as actual words. No matter how hard I try, sometimes l33t-speak crawls into my actual speech (lol and rofl >.<). I do think people who say the l33t-speak letters out loud sound retarded, though. A lot of times it's easier to say acronyms as...

OT: How does everyone here pronounce GUI? I noticed that ED pronounces it "guy". I've always pronounced it "gooey", but that's because it was how my first CS teacher pronounced it and he was from Kentucky >.> Also, I'm really digging the netbook-launcher.

@Tom` Figures that it's French -_- AFAIK France has a pretty massive Arabic population. Unfortunately, if they're a French citizen France won't extradite them. That kills most my hope that it was an American doing it, but there is a decent chance that the guy lives in France and isn't a...

I thought it stood for Ultraman Assaulting Evil...

I can dream, can't I? It's possible that he live in US, but just speaks Arabic. Anyways, a standing arrest warrant can really damper your day if you're ever on a connecting flight through the US.

If the hacker's site is registered in the United States, where hacking a site is a federal offense, the FBI can request the IP logs and arrest the dumbass who bragged about it (confession in an open forum!)

ReJoyce:

It's much easier to convert a cheap remote into into an IR emitter than it is to make one yourself. Hell, you don't even have to open up the remote. Just weigh down one of the buttons.

I was just going to correct you about the sensor bar, but you ninja edited. You can make a wireless sensor by taking apart some cheap remotes and hooking the IR bulbs to the battery and an on/off switch. The Super Scope did work on the same principle, but the Zapper worked on a completely...

This is just silly. Web pages don't evolve; they digivolve.
