Technical Terms (Computer Science)
Gigabyte refers to the number that is about 10 raised to 9 = 10000000000 = about 2 raised to 30
Exabyte refers to the number that is about 10 raised to 18 = about 2 raised to 60
Today's memory rentention strategy (Warning! Corny)
XYZ: Exabyte ka ba?
Debutant: Bakit?
XYZ: Kasi, you have been raised to 18 years of existence.

Technical Terms in Computer Science
Review Notes:
1. Bash does not suggest negativity if you are from the Computer Science community. Bash is a keyword in the field of Operating Systems. It comes from "Bourne Again SHell".
2. MAN is also a keyword in Operating Systems. You will never get lost with a MAN because MAN means MANual.
3. In the filed of Operating Systems, The pound is more powerful than the dollar. The dollar sign $ is for any ordinary user. The pound sign # is for the administrator.
4. who u make sense when u is preceded by -. (Hence, who -u)
But wait! Little Knowledge is Dangerous. We need to know more.

Sinoy din-ngem si gait mo? (Remembering ironic statements that were addressed to me)
For some reason, in my dreams last night, I was reminded about what some people told me along the way....
1. "You are too good to be true!" ??? --> Reason why I was not considered :)
2. "You are very talented!" ??? --> A colleague and a classmate, who usually refers to my academic notes, because I usually get the best score in the exams, told me so, when I said I cannot do anything artistic because I have no talent at all.
3. "If only you grew taller, you are perfect!" --> When I was rushing to go to work when I was then a young professional, an on-looker stopped me just to say such as I was passing by.

Siyat takon ipakat di siged ay amag. Pati-en tako ay wada pay lang di siged sinan lobong ta waday iyat tako ay sumiged.
