Ok I'm going to post a word, and what ever that word finishes with the next person to post must post a word starting with the last letter of the previous post EASY so if I post MAILTO the flow would go like this OBJECT, TAG.......... Oh and each reply must be technical in some way a tag a term or a name.

So I'm going to start with HTTP

I have a suggestion, how about if we include the definition of the word as well to make this thread somewhat educational? For instance:

I answer the previous post with Yottabyte -- A yottabyte is a measure of theoretical storage capacity and is 2 to the 80th power bytes or, in decimal, approximately a thousand zettabytes, a trillion terabytes, or a million trillion megabytes (written out in decimal, a yottabyte looks like this: 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176)

Let me know what you think of this idea...

OurNation, I think you missed part of the original post :) :

OurNation, I think you missed part of the original post :) :

I did it right yomatbytte or whatever endes in e eat begins in e and you said but a definition.

I did it right yomatbytte or whatever endes in e eat begins in e and you said but a definition.

I think you missed thetechnical part of it. A suitable response could be, say, electronic:

of or relating to electronics; concerned with or using devices that operate on principles governing the behavior of electrons; "electronic devices"

See? Now you'd add a technical term that began with a "C".

Technician

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

For a definition of the Technician profession, see wiktionary: Technician .

Ladee

Technicians can be found working in a variety of fields, and they usually have a job title with the designation 'technician' following the particular category of work. Thus a 'stage technician' is a worker who supports putting on a play, while a 'medical technician' is an employee who provides technical support in the medical industry.

Hey Alex, didn't expect to see you here :)

I could make this hard by using C++: an object-oriented programming language that is viewed by many as the best language for creating large-scale applications.

But I won't.

How about COBOL: Common Business Oriented Language, the first widely-used high-level programming language for business applications.

(Wups ... might've been nice if I'd actually *read* the post prior to mine!! Sorry! Okay. Responding to COBOL) ...

Language (as in programming)

A programming language or computer language is a standardized communication technique for expressing instructions to a computer. It is a set of syntactic and semantic rules used to define computer programs. A language enables a programmer to precisely specify what data a computer will act upon, how these data will be stored/transmitted, and precisely what actions to take under various circumstances.
