An obscure scripting language designed by someone oblivious to the fact that in order to get market share, you have to either own the market (in which case people will buy any shit you put out (Visual Basic anyone?)) or give it away (Perl, which sucks horribly except for everything else out there).

2. To restart a movie, comic, TV, or book franchise in hopes that it won't jump the shark again. Sometimes works spectacularly (Battlestar Galactica). Sometimes falls flat on its face.
1. "If there's an error, we have this routine called panic, and when it is called, the machine crashes, and you holler down the hall, 'Hey, reboot it.'" --Dennis Ritchie
2. I was contemplating the idea of a Knight Rider reboot the other day. Would be interesting, definitely, but would it really be Knight Rider without the Hoff?
