| 100. | NO CARRIER | ||
|
The error message given by a modem when the telephone line carrier signal is lost. In the days of BBSs this was a frequent occurrence, often at the very moment someone was typing a sentence. Loss of signal would cause a string of garbage characters to be displayed to the recipient.
In later years this gave rise to an unending joke, depicting someone getting forcefully interrupted or otherwise cut off the internet, out of spite, in the middle of a particularly boring thought, irritating tirade, or some Famous Last Words. "Backups? BACKUPS? We don' NEED no STEENKIN' BAC{`+#$%{`&+#{@$`%+NO CARRIER

Ah, Linux,
more...
The April fool's joke of the computing world and an embarrassment to the open-source philosophy. The brat that hasn't learned to shut the fuck up and do something more productive to its cause. The hacking tool used by script kiddies who think they are "l337 haxors" after typing 10 lines of code in Pearl. A prime example of how group-think leads to less productive activity. Communism in electronic form. Now Im sure we all have by now heard the same old cliches about old Tux being the best thing since sliced bread, but eventually, they just beg to be examined a little more, as follows. 1) Linux is free. And I'm the king of Peru. If it really is free, then the Linux sites would have no pop-up windows and ads asking for donations. Getting Luddix may be "free", but having to end up buying up to $200 worth of new hardware just to run a computer at 1/20 the speed of Windows 95 throws the whole concept of free out the door. Also the "Free as in Beer" line is... |

| 103. | mying | ||
|
An exclamation to indicate a spelling or grammatical error.
Root of the word lies in repeated typing of "mying" instead of "mine". Over time this has come to be used to reflect any typo or grammatical error that someone makes. A term of abuse, whenever someone makes any sort of error in their email, they will expect a reply of "MYING". "I went to the shop today and some stamps and cards" - MYING - left out "bought"
"Can somoene explain Liverpool's success?" - MYING - "someone" "Is anyone still there" - MYING - no question mark "What is you're problem?" - MYING - spelling |

| 104. | zypo | ||
|
A typographical error caused by misplacing your typing fingers on the wrong keys on the keyboard. 1. I was on instant messenger talking to my friend and I got so mad at him that I tried to write back something really fast but all I wrote was a major zypo.
2. I wasn't paying attention to what I was writing and zypo'ed the whole paragraph. |

| 105. | Speedball Assassin | ||
|
1.) A person who acomplishes tasks with amazing speed and proficiency.
2.) Someone who uses drugs or stimulants(such as caffine) to decrease reaction times, or enhance their speed related abilities, such as typing. 3.) Somone who is constantly wired on stimulants. 4.) An elite coder, highly skilled in coding from scratch. Can often code thousands of error free lines in only a few hours. 1.) Todd knocked out all the jobs I had given him in an hour. Did a good job too, must be a speedball assassin.
2.) On my own I can't type for shit, but wire me up on caffine and I'm a straight up speedball assassin. 3.) Poor guy, he has to work three days straight sometimes, so he's a speedball assassin out of neccessity. 4.) If we're going to get this program to beta before the deadline, we'll need a speedball assassin. |
