Comments on: People have a problem with terminology these days http://www.intelliot.com/blog/archives/2004/08/26/people-have-a-problem-with-terminology-these-days/ Thoughts, opinions and fascinating discoveries by Elliot, a student at USC Fri, 16 May 2008 05:44:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: RandomDigits http://www.intelliot.com/blog/archives/2004/08/26/people-have-a-problem-with-terminology-these-days/#comment-152 RandomDigits Sun, 03 Oct 2004 02:00:06 +0000 http://www.intelliot.com/blog/archives/2004/08/26/people-have-a-problem-with-terminology-these-days/#comment-152 I am not a computer newbie, but I have respect for those that pursue other things network topology and hardware bottlenecks. "Laggy" is better than some of the things that I have heard though. It describes some of the problem and if a techie wants to know more it gives them a foundation for further questioning. I have a problem with people who think "crash" is a full discription for any situation, ie: "My computer just crashed." "Really, what happened?" "I just told you, it crashed." By contrast I have taken up the habbit of calling it 'magic' anytime something good happens that I can't explain.

I have a problem with people who think “crash” is a full discription for any situation, ie:
“My computer just crashed.”
“Really, what happened?”
“I just told you, it crashed.”

By contrast I have taken up the habbit of calling it ‘magic’ anytime something good happens that I can’t explain.

Some say their "compy will be too laggy for Doom 3 when it comes out." Then they put up an argument saying laggy=slow and laggy!=high latency. Man, ignorant people.
