Gastronomical determinism
Where the duration of a meeting is extended for no reason other than to include a free lunch or dinner.
The meeting went on an hour longer than it had to. Gastronomical determinism ensured that the debate continued, focusing on meaningless issues, until the company provided lunch was served.

non-deterministic polynomial time
The set of the most difficult problems in Mathematics, solvable in polynomial time only by a non-deterministic turing machine, but verifiable in polynomial time. In mathematics and computer science is shortened to np. Of course, the editors of UD would rather publish BULLSHIT or several thousand entries for George Bush than something having to do with math. Also, why won't they publish "S4R" is a perfectly acceptable definition.
Rule number 5 + Rule number 10 guys. Seriously. I'm an editor too.

Aaron: Did you know the editors of UD don't actually follow rules 5 and 10?
Mike: Yeah, they turned down my definition for "np", y'know, its short for "Non-deterministic Polynomial time".
James: Yeah, and then the go and publish shit like "S.C.L.I.D". Apparently technical terms for guns are fine, but not in Math.
Aaron: Yeah, seriousy uncouth.
Mike: HOLLA!

determinism
The belief that if one knew absolutely every single thing there is to know about the present, than that person could predict with perfect accuracy every single event that would happen in the future. This is based off the idea of cause and affect, and the structured and unchanging laws of physics. Simply put, determinism = fate.
This is often related to theology in that unless by some unknown means time has existed for all eternity, something had to have started existence. Has all matter simply been here forever, with no beginning? That's a pretty hard to believe theory, if you think about it. Something HAD to have started the universe somewhere, sometime. And with the first single event that started the chain reaction that is time, the fate of everything that has and will ever happen has already been written. But then brings the question, from where did the creator of time and space come from? But meh, these are things we will probably never know, I think you get my point anyway.

Example of determinism-
Knowing the velocity, direction, wind speed, and exactly every other factor effecting a rocket, you can predict perfectly where it will land. Why couldn't you? The same goes for absolutely anything else in the world. If you knew absolutely every factor effecting a situation, you could perfectly its outcome with complete accuracy.

Determinist
A person who is always absolutely determined in every single thing they do.
Like a perfectionist; who always makes sure every thing they do and\or every thing others do as well is 100% damn perfect;
But instead of perfecting things, you just are determined in doing them.
Its hard to give up on something when you're a determinist, unless its some stupid ass math homework or some other type of useless schoolwork that will never come in handy in real life.
Then that might be an exception.

non-deterministic turing machine
A machine capable of solving the toughest mathematical problems in polynomial time. It knows everything, is all powerful and gives you answers before you even ask a question. I didn't know what to write here, so I asked it, it gave me this response.
Guy1: What do they keep in area 51?
Guy2: The non-deterministic turing machine. They don't want you to know they have it, but they've been using it to solve crazy math problems in polynomial time for YEARS!
Guy1: Dude, you're fucked up.
