I've had a lot of people ask me what some of these acronyms mean, and so since I seem to be able to figure them out rather quickly, I'm compiling a list for those of you who can't quite grasp it.

If anyone else thinks or notices any others, post the answers, or we can decrypt them for you.  ;)

AFAIK -- As Far As I Know
IIRC -- If I Recall Correctly
BBL -- Be Back Later
OTOH -- On The Other Hand

QuoteEvery generation of humans believed it had all the answers it needed, except for a few mysteries they assumed would be solved at any moment. And they all believed their ancestors were simplistic and deluded. What are the odds that you are the first generation of humans who will understand reality?

Can you tell me the origin of that phrase? Don't give me that standard "World War II" response that anybody that has seen Saving Private Ryan can give.

It started with the programming lines:

Code Select


int main(void)
{
 printf("foo bar");
 return 0;
}
