I love jargon

[alias_sqbr]

A while ago distantcam and I did a joint amazon order, consisting largely of graphic novels and programming texts. Amazon just sent me an email about books that "people with my tastes" might like, and as might be expected I have no idea what the titles actually mean but find them amusing regardless.

I wonder if buying this would put us on a CIA watch list? :D

Unfortunately, I don't think it's the kind of Subversion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subversion_(software)) you think it is. It seems you share tastes with a lot of computer programmers. :)

Git is another humorously-named version control system. I don't think there is a Big Git Book, the developers aren't big on documentation (grumble grumble grumble).

And see, this is why I love jargon (from a distance), people use a word one way so long they forget what it means to ordinary folk.
