:-D you guys got any questions?

Computer: What does "IDE" stand for?=integrated development environment

Given among hardware questions (USB, CMOS, RAM), I would tend to answer "Integrated Device Electronics", the drive interface. "Integrated Development Environment" is software related.

CMOS is wrong I think...but I don't remember what it means. Something something something system?

Actually, CMOS does stand for that. It's the reason I could never remember what it stands for (when asked, I would answer "ask the chemistry majors" ). You're thinking of BIOS - Basic Input/Output System.

Edit: You seem to give the Simpsons questions the misleading title "TV". Allow me to fix this:

TV: In what South Park episode does the following newspaper headline appear:

Afghanistan! Tajikastan! Pakistan!
...damn those "Stans"!
