[ale] Acronym Hell

[Dow Hurst]

How many acronyms can you come up with on the spur of the moment?  How 
many duplicate acronyms used in other realms of life we walk in?  How 
many are so similar that you constantly get them confused?

For example:

NFS = Network File System
NSF = National Science Foundation

I screw that up all the time!

I've messed up with APIC vs ACPI more than once now, and both are 
possible kernel parameter options...

I went looking via Google and found lots of sites dealing with this 
subject.  Here is a good one I've run into before:


STP:

Secure Transfer Protocol
Shielded Twisted Pair (cable)
Signal Transfer Point
Synchronized Transaction Processing
Standard Temperature and Pressure

Anyway, here is the site for computer related acronyms:
