tla = three letter acronymn

sed  = stream editor
awk  = Aho, Weinberger, Kernighan
perl = pratical extraction and report language
lex  = lexical analyzer
yacc = yet another compiler compiler
tar  = tape archiver
(there are a million of these -- any particular one you want?)

ip   = internet protocol
tcp  = transmission control protocol
udp  = unix domain protocol
nis  = network information services
yp   = yellow pages
nfs  = network file system
ftp  = file transfer protocol
rpc  = remote procedure call
xdr  = external data representation
(there are a million of these -- check any book on tcp/ip or 
http://www.idicalif.com/acro1.htm)

Here is one TLA I could never find out for those of you who code in assembly.
Just as there is a text and data section for executable and read-only data repectively,
what does bss stand for in bss section (it is the read/write data section for 
most assemblers/linkers)? I always just called it the bs section.
