Technobabble
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Technobabble (a portmanteau of technology and babble) is language so full of technical terms or jargon and buzzwords that it is incomprehensible to those unfamiliar with the words being used. While what is said is clearly heard, what it means is not. To some it sounds like random technical words have been strung together in a syntatically correct and consistent but semantically meaningless way. It is often considered to be meaningless or irrelevant nonsense by those who hear it.

Authors and others who wish to convey a feeling of technical sophistication may write or talk in technobabble. They may use the jargon without considering what it actually means in order to give an impression that they know things that their readers or listeners do not. However, if the jargon is decoded it becomes apparent that the originator does not really understand what has been said or is deliberately being unclear. When used in this way, technobabble is considered pretentious and often unacceptable.

The military, the sciences, mathematics, engineering, law, medicine, information technology and marketing all have their own distinct forms of technobabble, as the jargon from one field cannot be readily mixed with that of another. If used inappropriately even novice listeners can often detect that nonsense is being spouted forth.

A specialised form known as Treknobabble can be found in the various Star Trek television programs and movies. Other science fiction movies and literature have their own form of technobabble. This is often done because the concepts and items being talked about are fictional but necessary for the story. This form of technobabble is generally tolerable and often considered amusing.

However, technobabble sometimes may also communicate meaningful technical information between those who understand what is being talked about. The jargon carries meaning and can be used to convey accurate and precise information effectively. In some situations, such as medicine, this usage can be lifesaving.

I like the part about it being pretentious.

You use words good, Skor.

are you implying you require a translation of what was said so that you may comprehend it in common tongue?

That is awesome.

in each and every one of my post I avoided acronyms.....so as to confuse you less in my t3ch sp3ak. It is no worse then having a person completely oblivious to star wars come to swgtales.com and look at 3/4 of the posts and be like OMG what the hell did they just say? blah blah blah

[Jabe Adaks]

Bah... Don't blame me. I didn't want to go in to detail - I just wanted to know if anyone else was having NS lookup problems. Besides, Ekade understands every word of it and just won't admit it.

Well, my flux capacitor DSL Modem gets me 1.21 jigiwatts of power when I engage the tachyon boost.

im sure if you implimented a circuit switch data switch to your modulation demodulation unit you would be quite comperable to take on such bandwidth utilization and termination. However it would be wise to ensure your modulation unit is on dec-3 dotter boards so that it resists the heat residuiliztion when the 3.5 volts run concurrently through its pathways to the buffer prefect. always a good tip. never place a written code word on your complimentry metaloxide semi conductor firmware......because if you forget it. your sucking wind for awhile =)

Since Jabe thinks I understand this and won't admit it.. let me give my best shot at translating...

If you implemented something called a "circuit switch data switch" to your modem you could maximize your bandwidth. You should use a "dec-3 dotter board" so it does not overheat because of the high voltage that runs through the unit. Don't write your password on the metal of the unit.

Looks up to the very toppest quote... Yeah I don't understand that part either. I am just a programmer, I leave the touching of the copper and fiber up to the IT guys.. and uh, girls...

Okay......

I just want to know one damn thing.


Just what the hell is a hydrospanner?

I am not sure anyone knows exactly what the hell it is but from references in books I would liken it to a common monkey wrench because of the wide variety of tasks it seems able to be utilized for.

Foo Fighters are playing on the radio while I read this...

Now I'll be thinking of new lyrics..

hmmmm....

Don't want to be your hydro spanner
One more imperial incident
I'd rather clone than suffer this
I'll never be your hydro spanner

needs work.

never place a written code word on your complimentry metaloxide semi conductor firmware

Don't write your password on the metal of the unit.

Complimentry metaloxide semi conductor= CMOS aka BIOS. do not password protect your CMOS or BIOS because its stupid. ;)

any more questions?

So, when it was invented, did someone say "Hey, CMOS sounds good.... anyone know a good word we can use for the 'C'"?
