xChat

n. - an open source IRC client originally for Linux. Based on gtk+, it is easily ported to Windows. Unfortunately, it's developers decided to make the Windows version shareware. For those familiar with the GNU Public License (GPL), this is less than kosher.

Cisco Systems

n. - A Fortune 500 company that engineers, and manufactures internetworking solutions (i.e. - Routers, Switches, Access Servers, etc'). By developing highly functional, configurable, and scaleable hardware and software, The Internet is run nearly exclusively by Cisco Systems equipment. However, due to inadequate competition, knowing how to configure alternative networking equipment (i.e. - Baystack) is of little use in the job market. With this in mind, Cisco introduced the Cisco Networking Academy in which students learn the basics of computer networking all the way up to advanced WAN configuration. Using this Vertical Integration model, Cisco has virtually clenched it's monopoly in it's sector of the IT industry.

Step-1: Design new Router
Step-2: Educate IT professionals on configuring said Router.
Step-3: Require said professionals to re-certify every three years.
Step-4: During re-certification period, design new Router.

Repeat Steps 2-4 until world domination is achieved.

NULL

NULL - n., adj. - signifying the absance of data. Things such as character strings, and various types of numeric values can be described as "NULL" when they contain no data. (shadow:light::NULL:data)

ex.1:
<faceprint> we returned js->roomlist without setting it, so it was NULL

ex.2:
(In C++:
void function()
{
int variable;
}

'variable' would have a value of NULL until it is initialized, and 'function' would return NULL because it was created with a 'void' data type.)

ex.3:
"Your sister is soooo stupid, it's like she's NULL between the ears..."
