The Devil’s Dictionary

Das Devil’s Dictionary – kleine Kostprobe gefällig?

• Webstandards, noun

  A large stick or cudgel, used by the slightly more anal-retentive to beat the slightly less anal-retentive.

• Flashmob, noun

  An impromptu gathering, organized by means of electronic communication, of the unemployed.

• XML, verb

  A magic elixir of legend, claiming to solve all problems while inevitably exacting an ironic cost.

  “Once we drink the XML and take care of a few minor things — parser, DTD, entification, well-formed-ness, validation, namespaces, I18N, XSL transformations, schemas — all will be peaceful in the kingdom!”

Herrlich, mehr davon 🙂
