[Chick Tower]

Here's a posting on Slashdot from someone named DigitalHermit.  It sure 
sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before.

Agreed, products should always have names indicating their purpose. We 
need to lobby Congress to pass a law. For example, what the hell is a 
Buick Regal? Or iPod? Are there peas in an iPod? NO! Then why call it 
that. Look at DreamWeaver. What the hell does that have to do with the 
web? What's a DreamWeaver? Sounds like some euphemism for LSD or some 
shaman witchery. Evolution is an email client? WTF? What's this idiotic 
language called Ruby? What the hell does that have to do with 
programming? Or Perl? Or Python? Or C?

Here are my suggestions...
Firefox should be "HTTP/FTP/Gopher/Archie/XML Renderer"
DreamWeaver should be "Software for Designing HTTP/XML Format Documents 
for Internet Usage"
C should be "Low to Medium Level Computing Language"
Gentoo should be "Linux Distribution for People Who Prefer to Churn 
Their Own Butter" (I kid, I kid)
