faith based programming

Faith based programming is what happens when a programmer isn't smart or capable enough of writing good code that they pray whatever they did actually works. In early years, programmers would put a lot of debug statements, no-op loops, etc in code that somehow created the magic timing for it to work.

Programmer 1: Did you ever fix that bug we talked about yesterday?

Programmer 2: Ya, well sort of. I just added a few debug statements and it went away

Programmer 1: Oh, I get it, you are doing a little Faith Based Programming?

Programmer 2: Yep, even though I can't see it, I believe the problem has somehow gone away...

Potentially unwanted program

Term coined by McAfee for a type of software program that may be unwanted, despite the possibility that users are consented to download it. PUPs include (most commonly) adware, spyware and dialers. Some files from these programs will download taskbars.

Most common category of PUPs is rogue software, in which a program bribes the user to pay for a "removal" of non-existent malware on his/her computer.

PC Optimizer Pro is a good example of a potentially unwanted program

Programmer Hands

Soft hands of a man, namely a computer nerd, who does not work manual labor, but stays indoors as his job is in an office thus giving him feminine, non calloused hands. Computer nerds and excessive masturbation with lotion is mutually exclusive.

Man A) "I need to keep my hands in good shape; I have smooth hands, smooth girly hands."
Man B) "programmer hands is the correct terminology."

H-B Woodlawn Program

As good as it gets. Don't knock what you do NOT know. GREAT school with a unique well-driven program. Incredible teachers and wonderful results. I do not speak ill of W-L, Yorktown, or Wakefield .... because I don't know. I only end up defending the best High School (and Jr. High School) in Northern Virginia. ALL schools have problem students (drugs, alcohol, etc.) - the "other" Arlington High Schools are NO different. Lay Off!!!

H-B Woodlawn Program is for the students, by the students, and guided by the teachers. Intelligence knows no bounds and Jealousy run rampant.
