Vacious

The distant, glassy-eyed stare of an alien abductee that has recently returned to earth after their experience and probably missing at least 50% of their brain. Vacious stares are also a known diagnosis for aliens impersonating humans.

After receiving a vacious stare, I became aware that the bank teller was not of this earth.

null vector

Someone or something that is boring, uninspiring, lacking, or lame. Comes from the math/physics term null vector, the vector whose components are all equal to 0 (e.g. 0i + 0j + 0k). The null vector is movement in no direction--a lack of movement--hence its use to describe things that are not moving or inspiring. Can describe people, events, works of art, courses, etc.

"He's so lame. He's such a null vector."

"Good thing you cut school. The assembly was a null vector."

Thrust Vectoring

Thrust Vectoring is a thing used on modern fighters for extra manuverability. In TV(Thrust Vec), the two nozzels for the after burner are made into the controls for the aircraft so they move with the alerons and the elevators. The first aircraft to use thrust vec was the Russian Su-37 "Terminator", however, when the Americans saw thrust vec on the Russian planes, they "borrowed" the idea, then, they took all the credit for being the first to have it even though they weren't. The ability of thrust vec greatly increses the mobility of the aircraft, alowing it to be able to do manuvers other planes can only dream of doing.

The pilot with the thrust vectoring on his plane out turned the other pilot.

Friend 2: THOSE AREN'T PAJAMAS! But that is vector...

vector spew

To vomit profusely in all directions.

After downing ten beers, I doused my buddies with a vector spew.

Initialization Vectors

In cryptography, an initialization vector (IV) is a block of bits that is required to allow a stream cipher or a block cipher to be executed in any of several streaming modes of operation to produce a unique stream independent from other streams produced by the same encryption key, without having to go through a (usually lengthy) re-keying process.

IV's are commonly referred to in wireless network hacking, more specifically WEP hacking, where a hacker fakes association with a wireless access point and generates IV's that are used to crack the WEP key of the network.

I only needed 40000 Initialization Vectors to crack the WEP key of my neighbor's wireless.
