5. "Bump" is fairly generic
I've seen it used on a lot of boards, so the Freeps definitely don't have any claim on that one.

The only reason we prefer "kick" around here is because we have the cool little donkey to go with it. :kick:

14. Not sure why that's important.
It probably saves money, but it also makes the transition to the pros more difficult (aluminum to wood).

4. Unless you're trying to send packets to another network device...
Edited on Mon Dec-22-08 02:22 PM by Dennis Donovan
...to ascertain whether it's connected.

Other than that, it's only good with pong.;)

6. Nope, there's another purpose
If you're searching for an enemy submarine or trying to signal another vessel via underwater listening devices, a ping is entirely appropriate

they picked that one as a tribute to Johnny Hart.
