Am I the only one who gets annoyed by RAS Syndrome?
Apparently not. But why do even apparently intelligent people repeatedly refer to PIN Numbers
(google 69,200), ATM Machines
(google 68,500), RAM Memory
(google 173,000), HIV Virus
(google 104,000) or GUI Interfaces
(google 93,900)? I wouldn't mind, but today even the
BBC are getting in on the act.

At work, I'm working on applying XSL transforms to XML documents to get HTML, HDML, and WML pages via an ISAPI filter for IIS. Maybe eventually I'll play with
DISCO, and then I'll move on to
SOAP,
ROPE, and maybe even
SAX. When will the acronymical madness stop?
