Being from a Computer Science background, I may often go over acronyms unfamiliar to many people. I will try to link back to this post whenever I play with a lot of acronyms in any new posts. I'll begin new entries after an 'Edited' date for each time something is added.
Original Entries, 4:00PM, Wed Apr 12, 2006
- CS - also: CSC - Computer Science; often used as a catch-all for programming in general (note that most people do not consider this to be the case! (including me))
- AM - Applied Mathematics; rather than learning new methods, you apply what you've already learned to a problem (such as learning how to use and apply the Euclidean Algorithm [WikiPedia]). I know that this definition isn't correct (by really any stretch of the imagination), but it works, seeing as how I don't want to be too technical.

- IANAL - I Am Not A Lawyer; frequently seen on Slashdot for people giving their opinions (often on things FUBAR), but that aren't law professionals (haven't passed the bar).
- WP - Wikipedia; a shortening, probably won't be used often, but will be nice to have, referring to the Wikipedia 'Free Publicly-Editable Encyclopedia' (English version) initiative.
- /. - Slashdot; the extreme shortening for the Slashdot name, refers to the Slashdot.org website
