137

1) One more than 136.
2) ROUNDED OFF inverse of the fine structure constant (0.007297351 +/- 0.000000006), which is a product of two physical constants and measures the strength with which subatomic particles interact with one another and with light. Appreciated by physicists but not physicians.
The room number for the lounge in the Physics department is 137, in honor of the fine structure constant.

Sisterstatistics

Branch of "mathematics" superficially resembling Statistics. Does not actually involve logic and often is based on wishful thinking. Exclusively used by people unskilled at math. The "Law of Averages" is a major component.
Using sisterstatistics the bum convinced himself that since he has bought so many lottery tickets, he is due for some winnings.

qbasic

Outdated version of the BASIC programming language which came packaged with Windows version 3.1.

The language provided an easy way to create graphics, though limited to 4-bit colors and 640 by 480 resolution.

Although the "Q" stood for "quick" the only thing quick thing about QBASIC was the time to program. The language was interpreted, rather than compiled, severely retarding program execution speed.

The language is still adequate for novice programmers. However, learners who master the basics of QBASICS should graduate to Visual Basic, a much more flexible and faster language that inherited much of QBASIC's syntax.
"I've learned to program graphics with QBASIC but, finding the language too limited, made the easy transition to Visual Basic."

c#

Programming language developed by Microsoft whose syntax is very similar to C++, is completely object-oriented and allows fast development.

Contrary to what many believe, C# is NOT proprietary...Java is actually proprietary. However, because Microsoft still dominates its direction, it may be considered to be "semi-de facto" proprietary at this stage.

C# traded off some runtime speed for safety and quick development. More optimized compilers in the near future may reduce this speed disadvantage while retaining the advantages.

Holistically, C# is perhaps the best programming language in existence.
Our group is now using C# in our projects. We can now get things done in half the time.

dittohead

Someone with strong opinions (especially political) but lacks the eloquence to express them. He makes his stance known only by agreeing with an eloquent speaker with the same opinions.

Robert: The problem is with the tax

Herbert: Yeah! What he said.

Teacher: Herbert, you are such a dittohead!

antiautodefenestrationism
