Deterministic nominativism

Someone with a specific career may have an urge to change their name to something that matches their career in some way. Similar to nominative determinism except the name changes to match the career as opposed to the other way around.

Mick the mattress salesman has changed his name to Mattress Mick. I guess he had a case of deterministic nominativism.

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!

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.

Wow I was programming in 'C' for four hours and I wne full non deterministic polynomial

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.

Claire is such a determinist; she wouldn't get up until her drawing was finished.
