IEEEdiot ( ay-eeeee-dee-ot) is a term used to describe someone who believes that IEEE Ethernet standards process is valuable and contributing to the successful development of ethernet.
Historically, the IEEE has been worse than laggardly in updating the standard, reluctant to move quickly, and lacking in transparency. Recent attempts to improve processes have made some improvement but I’m betting Cisco isn’t too happy that the DCE standards haven’t been approved yet

wi-fi
1. Marketing abbreviation for ‘wireless fidelity’. Intended to convey a message of performance, quality and excellence by extrapolating concepts from “high fidelity”.
Of course, wi-fi is nothing of the sort. Using IEEE802.11b, there is not enough bandwidth to do much, and the radio spectrum is so hopelessly compromised and overloaded its surprising anything works.
Naturally, that never stopped us from finding ways to make it work just enough so that we make lots of money from selling it. Governments around the world can’t agree on a replacement spectrum, and the vendors can’t agree on new standards such as 802.11n so it’s going to be busted for years to come. BRILLIANT

Process humping: The act of implementing and then following process for the sake of having a process. Usually done by people who want to make it look like they’re doing something, or are too stupid to work out what needs doing anyway.
With thanks to Sean who sent it in. Good one.
