DARPA hard

"DARPA hard" is shorthand for something considered extremely hard to achieve. The phrase comes from the US agency DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) who are often tasked with coming up with solutions to very difficult problems (e.g. coming up with stealth technology to prevent aircraft being shot down). The implication is that only resources of the scale available to DARPA's would be required to crack the problem.
Giving every soldier the ability to know the position of every other solidier on the battlefield - that's going to be DARPA hard.

Dara is a true beauty! She is a loyal friend and very humble. She does not want to burden you with her problems but will always be there for you! Once she knows she can trust you she'll talk like crazy. Dara has mood swings but she always bounces back to her sweet self. Dara is the type of person that looks at the bigger picture or outside the box, never giving up. Dara is self-conscious but is really a 'rare beauty' ;) and doesn't even know it. If you meet Dara never lose her because she is the best friend you'll even have!
Man I wish I was Dara she's so pretty!

Dara is awesome! I wish I were like her!

Daras is someone who is interested in law and learning random facts and will have information on absolutely any subject. It is an uncommon but really cool name that is made from the word "darshan" which means receiving a blessing in Hinduism.
Look over there it's Daras! Let me ask him to name all the 27 amendments.
