name some technical acronyms

[Chooco]

in a clan reformation right now, making new clan

my idea is to use a technical acronym then improvise for it after, today i saw a clan named DNS and it meant something other than what you think of DNS as meaning

BANNED ?

that isn't technical.... that is universal

btw what does PHP stand for?

You want a recursive acronym - more fun. try some of these:

Recursive acronyms are found almost exclusively in computing circles. Here are some examples:
GNU (GNU's Not Unix!)
EINE (EINE Is Not EMACS)
ZWEI (ZWEI Was EINE Initially)
EMACS (EMACS Makes A Computer Slow)
WINE (WINE is not an emulator)

recursive acronym noun. An acronym that refers to itself, usually by incorporating the acronym as the first word in the expanded phrase.




BTW, PHP: PHP Hypertext Preprocessor is a server-side, HTML embedded scripting language used to create dynamic Web pages. May also be a recusrive acronym, but the true origin of the first "P" is unclear.

edit: PHP is a scripting language and interpreter, similar to JavaScript and Microsoft's VBScript. PHP (the initials come from the earliest version of the program, which was called "Personal Home Page Tools") is a cross-platform alternative to Microsoft's Active Server Page (ASP) technology (which runs only on Microsoft's Windows NT servers).

but WINE IS an emulator isn't it?
my buddy's been workin on tryin to get wine to work on his puter for like 3 hours then found out it stopped because the hard drive was full AHAHAHAHAH... ok back to topic.. tryin to get Half-Life to work for Linux

Had another thought: a double recursive acronym as a name for your team! PHP is a programming tool, right? So your team could be called PHP, because PHP Helps Players!

It's a kind of linux guru joke...

that's why i didn't get it, HE is the linux guy not me..... dad won't let me "waste" my money by getting a box just to test linux on.... keep in mind that it would totaly replace this computer i'm on for the game server, the HTTP and the FTP
wouldn't be a waste exactly

Linux will run on almost anything - check out a garage sale, market and pick up an old 486 or early Pentium for like $20 and use that.

DON'T LIE TO ME DAMN IT! (jk)
Linux will NOT run on a P1 120mhz with 1GB HDD and 84MB RAM

on installation screen it just shows blurry lines, no definition or words, you just can't install it
