i was listening to summerbreeze yesterday and my mom asked me to scan some pictures and send them to someone.

the cd was on the last track, major league - wonder, and my mom said "i like this song, it is a good song". and i was amazed, i was like "really"?

from dictionary.com:

quote:

twain An image capture API for Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh operating systems. The standard was first released in 1992, and is currently ratified at version 1.9 as of January 2000. TWAIN is typically used as an interface between image processing software and a scanner or digital camera. The word TWAIN is from Kipling's "The Ballad of East and West" - "...and never the twain shall meet...", reflecting the difficulty, at the time, of connecting scanners and personal computers. It was up-cased to TWAIN to make it more distinctive. This led people to believe it was an acronym, and then to a contest to come up with an expansion. None were selected, but the entry "Technology Without An Interesting Name" continues to haunt the standard.

ORIGINALLY POSTED BY CLuver? TO ASK A QUESTION there are WAY to many acronyms these days, and they are all colliding! Has anyone heard of the acronym "TWAIN" for Scanning type stuff? Like "TWAIN 32 Source" in Photoshop? I heard that it stands for "Technology Without An Interesting Name"

Jini

Jini Is Not Initials.. great these open source guys, huh?

jini is a software style of bluetooth..
as in: you hook into a network and jini does its magic so that you can use all the printers on the network automatically without installing them... same for network shares and stuff[/edit]
