    Food Terms

    Have you recently noticed that some terms in computer science are from food stuff?

    Java programming == coffee?
    Cookies

    any others?

    coffee cup software... (but that is coffee again)

    I can't think of any more... but I know what you mean. That is peculiar.

    Maybe, it is just because computer programmers and others who work with computers recognize the importance of food and eating in one's daily life! In other words, "I eat; therefore, I am." Is anyone up for creating the "Pizza technology"?
