master beta

The term one uses to refer to almost-finalized source code. It compiles and runs without any complaints, and only needs to be tested for minor logic errors. The transition from master beta to golden code should only take a few minutes of half-hearted debugging, but invariably requires an all-nighter to work out the most prominent segfaults.

Student 1: Hey man, have you finished your part of the project yet?
Student 2: I've got the master beta saved in my home directory.
Student 1: Cool beans. Let's debug it after class.
Student 2: You're bringing the soda this time.

alpha-beta male

A cross between both groups, in which an individual shares traits from both groups. A person within this category might have been born as one but crossed into the other, while maintaining traits of the previous.

An Alpha-Beta is mostly a leader, but can take on the role as follower if needed. He is intelligent, Artistic, but also Athletic, and Good Looking. He may be a player or stick to long term relationships, with very beautiful women. The characterisitcs of Alpha make him have higher fisical prowess, and rle with authority. But as a Beta he is more intelligent, and refined. The combination allows for the individual to adapt easily to particular situations.

The Alpha-Beta is created from a new generation of social and cultural influences, that are constantly changing, and thus require new types of classes to thrive within it.

Bruce Wayne was born as an Alpha, through his wealth and political status, but after his many hardships, he had to learn to take on the role as a beta, Eventually he returned to Gotham as an Alpha-Beta Male

It's Beta

1) A shield for developers to hide behind.
2) The battle cry of fanbois who have their noses so far up a studios ass they can smell their lunch.
3) A pathetic excuse for collecting money for a released product that with each patch introduces more bugs and breaks other things that worked perfectly.

VHS-Beta War

Term to describe a rivalry between two products (e.g. iPhone vs. Blackerry, PlayStation vs. XBox) with the inherent understanding that one will eventually emerge as the superior product.

Derived from the early VCR format war in which VHS emerged the winner over Beta.

I haven't made up my mind yet on whether to buy an iPhone, I'm waiting to see whether iPhone or Blackberry wins this VHS-Beta War.
