Yahoo! Widget Engine

Formally Konfabulator, it runs what are called Widgets, which are created by ordinary people using fancy JavaScript, Photoshop, GIMP, and the like. There currently 3,000 widgets out now, give or take a few 100. It has everything, including a Homeland Security terrorist threat level chart, so I can see how likely I am to die today. It also takes up rediculessly LOW processor power, especially if it's in the Heads-Up-Display. I can even access UD without having to open to a browser! Lazy!

search engine salting

The act of purposely bringing certain phrases or words into the public eye and media, in order to bury other similarly phrased results in a web search.

A tactic typically employed by governments, or other powerful individuals/organizations with something to hide.
White House describes Saudi Oil attacks as their "9/11"

Tate: "Funny that this happens as the US was about to release the Saudi connection to 9/11. Kind of a good way to bury results when you Google "Saudi 9/11"

Monty:"It's called Search Engine Salting and it's the new way of exploiting search engines."

Field Service Engineer

Basically a blue collar worker who makes white collar money, is smarter than 99% of people he works with, and they will openly admit this to him.
You basically have to be fucking exceptional in: electrical, mechanical, hydraulics, pneumatics, water systems/plumbing, PLC troubleshooting, and diplomacy.
Also, you get to sleep in nice hotels, drive brand new rental cars, and fly first class, all for completely free, and you are treated like a hero wherever you go, because you fix important shit. The ultimate bachelor life.
Operator says "Yo, the machine was fucked up for months, but we called the Field Service Engineer and he got it running like brand new in a day. Damn that was one smart mothafucka."

Manager says "I need to offer that guy a job, he can replace my whole maintenance department!"

Field Service Engineer says "Fuck that, I make too much money to give up nice hotels and fancy rental cars and first class air travel every couple of days. Let alone I can find a new tinder date every week!!!"
