naming convention

created by derobert

A method by which one assigns names to things. One of the more famous ones is the GNU Gnaming convention, in which a recursive acronym is used, ultimately causing English to have a stack overflow.

Giving Windows users a recursive acronym is a Good Thing because it causes their machines to have a BSOD.
