I had a somewhat memorable CompSci lesson at school years ago. I really needed to go to the toilet and drop the kids off at the pool, but the toilets in my school were uber skanky, so I decided to strap in and wait till I got home.
Anyway, sat down for the lesson which was all about backing up data. We learning about periodic dumping, incremental dumping, and just about ever other kind of dumping. Whenever I hear someone say "take a dump" of this or that I have a little snigger

Yeah, I'm with eldren on the TWAIN issue.

Some of you may have heard of this before:
The Motorola 6809 microprocessor, as used in the Tandy Color Computer, had a sign extend instruction; the assembly language mnemonic for which was, reasonably enough, SEX. DEC's engineers nearly got a PDP-11 assembler that used the SEX mnemonic out the door at one time, but (for once) marketing wasn't asleep and forced a change. That wasn't the last time this happened, either. The author of "The Intel 8086 Primer", who was one of the original designers of the 8086, noted that there was originally a SEX instruction on that processor, too. He says that Intel management got cold feet and decreed that it be changed, and thus the instruction was renamed CBW and CWD (depending on what was being extended). Amusingly, the Intel 8048 (the microcontroller used in IBM PC keyboards) is also missing straight SEX but has logical-or and logical-and instructions ORL and ANL.

I remember SEX now - back from writing assembly lanugage on a 6809 copro for a BBC.
Just after I played with an 8" floppy
Now go away before I taunt you a second time.
