I needed help with fixing my boot loader but the tech I spoke with only spoke banglish and his brain froze when he got to the end of his script without fixing the problem.

The act of posting replies to someone's blog entries, sending them IMs or SMS messages, modding up their forum posts or otherwise justifying their actions on the Net as a lead up to a booty call, asking for admin privileges, etc.
Dave's been posting an unusual number of positive comments to my blog, I get the feeling he's netstroking me.
The series of fifteen IMs waiting for me on my machine at home from Tom was a serious netstroke.

An error detection code or an error correcting code or a combination of both which is particularly suited to the correction of burst error or errors that are strongly correlated.
A popular Reed-Solomon code is RS(255,223) with 8-bit symbols. Each codeword contains 255 code word bytes, of which 223 bytes are data and 32 bytes are parity. For this code:
n = 255, k = 223, s = 8
2t = 32, t = 16
The decoder can correct any 16 symbol errors in the code word: i.e. errors in up to 16 bytes anywhere in the codeword can be automatically corrected.

The act of providing incremental updates to a piece of hardware such as a smartphone, CPU or wearable device in the form of marginal spec bumps instead of releasing a revolutionary device.
Usually requires you to buy an entirely new device to get, for example, slightly more internal storage space or a marginally better CPU speed.
Usually done by hardware manufactures such as Apple, Motorola and Qualcomm.
The goal is to make as much money off of existing technology as possible before spending money to innovate.

I really hope that Merrifield and the next iteration of it are good and I hope Logan is great too because no one is competing with Qualcomm so they are literally sitting on their asses trying get another year out of bumping clocks on Krait.

The Call usually comes around 9am on Friday, or an hour or so before your shift starts. Most commonly you get The Call when you're working for a temp agency, but sometimes with call centers. Temp agencies and call centers are notorious for firing employees with a telephone call, and they usually do it on Friday because statistics have shown that fewer people go postal when they're fired on a Friday.
"Hello, this is blah blah with blah blah staffing. We're calling to inform you that your contract with Foo Inc has been terminated. Do not return to Foo Inc, we will arrange for your posessions to be picked up at our office."

Someone who makes a career out of working in a particular call center. There will usually be one or two people in a call center that have been there for eight years or so (maybe longer) who have somehow escaped the regular fire-hire process that call centers go through. They usually have a tired, burnt-out look to them and can be seen hunching over their workstation in a hazy daze.

You get the Bubye Gatling is when you work as a phone monkey and you're trying to deliver a script at the end of the call so you don't fail your call score.
It's what happens when the conversation becomes a battle between you trying to deliver the script and the customer trying to get off the phone.
