- Register:
- (n.) a part of the central purging unit used to distort or destroy
incoming data by arbitrary rules.

relation ships between the items.
(n.) The process which accomplishes this, esp. if
it takes a very long time.
- Source Code:
- (n.) a record of a programmer's thought for a period of time. A
stream-of-consciousness novel or short story.
- Spreadsheet:
- (n.) a way of forcing repeatable answers from insufficient data
for superficial purposes. Also, a game played during office hours by bored
or restless yuppies.
- Stack:
- (n.) any area of memory which grows and eventually destroys both code
and data.
(v.) To place in such an area.
- Standard:
- (n., adj.) a design target which manufacturers may embellish,
improve upon, or ignore as they wish, so long as it can be used profitably
in their advertising.
