the system

A societal structure created by humans in order to create security and order in our society. It is the reason why our technology is as advanced as it is and also the only thing that prevents our society from spiraling into total chaos. However, it's often blamed by people who aren't successful or have had unlucky circumstances which is sometimes justifiable due to the amount of racism and police brutality that's still going on to this day. It's also the reason why our environment is in such a messed up state because of the amount of dependency it has on economic profits.
The main problem with the system is that it is very hesitant towards change. A lot of people heavily despise the system because of this and wish they were able to get rid of the system altogether. However, if we get rid of the system altogether, our whole civilization would be in complete chaos. So, instead of trying to get rid of the system, we should all make an effort to improve it to be more tolerable and accepting towards positive change.

Information Systems

The major for people that aren't smart enough to handle computer science.

Typically involving idiots that want to work for a large company, sit in a cubicle, and work for people that don't typically understand a thing about computers (other than the fact that they can look at pr0n with them).

This is usually ok as a typical IS major is only a notch or two above their computer illiterate coworkers.

Typical IS tasks: Helping their boss figure out how to change the font on their word document, creating a 'database' using an Excel spreadsheet, helping their boss erase the lemonparty.com history item off their workstation.

While not all IS majors are bad or stupid people, the sad truth is that the bad and stupid ones often end up in charge of actual computer scientists because they 'know tech'
I wanted to work in computers but all that math, science, and actually understanding shit was too hard, so I went into Information Systems.

Penis Positioning System

Penis Positioning System (PPS) is the system whereby "Mr. Penis chooses his own position". That is to say that your penis decides where you go (and who you do). Penis Positioning System is named for Global Positioning System (GPS).
Ed: Dude, I don't know what I was thinking.

operating system

A combiniation of command interpreters which runs between the central processing unit and software that allow a users to interact with a computer or other electronic device. A phrase that can never refer to any Microsoft product. By its very definition, an operating system must operate, which is the complete opposite of any Microsoft product.
Linux, FreeDOS, DRDOS, BEOS, Unix, OS/400, are all operating systems.

system dump

Often the first call of nature after a strongly spiced meal is a system dump.

Systematic and Progressive Accomplishment Drinking

Generally performed during a large code development project, when the developer wishes to drink whilst continuing to code, and fight off the effects of long-term sleep deprivation and alcohol.

The method is as follows:
The developer drinks 2 regular alcoholic drinks, followed by 1 non-alcoholic energy drink, and then repeats the process during the course of the project.
Man, I did some Systematic and Progressive Accomplishment Drinking last night to punch through developing the new website, feeling pretty second hand, but at least the website is finished!
