    On a related note I once wrote a system called NIPS. The N is a massive clue to the client so I can't expand on this.

      Good work sir. I see your NIPS and raise you GROPETITTIES (Greatly Reduces Overheads in Personnel Expenditure with Technology to Import a Torrent of Text from Information Exposing Suppliers), a program I wrote for a retail operation that pulls stock availability data from large text files into a central database.

    "unsuitable for a family publication such as El Reg."

    New keyboard or some wipes please!

    No good backronym for LINDSAY?

    Such a disappointment! (I admit that my own suggestion was not quite up to ElReg standards, but no one else? Pity.)

      Well, I think we should reserve Lindsay for a future endeavour...

    I'm still sulking coz you thought "Binary Response at Altitude" was unsuitable, so no vote from me.

    I'd vote for NAOMI

    If only to see if the spelling mistake would make it through!

    NAOMI - Nearspace __Autononous__ Operation Motor Igniter

      NAOMI should be reserved for a future project - such as determining the terminal velocity of a mobile phone.

        I'm inclined to agree. We just need a mobe, a pneumatic cannon and a cowering lackey and we're in business with this project.

          Well there you have it. The Reg is wondering what it should add to its review sections; publishing the effect of a well-aimed mobe (ranging from 'ouch!' through to 'quick trip to casualty and police caution') would set you apart from the competition.

          'Whilst some would criticise the Lumia 920 for its large size and weight, our ballistics test (video below) shows that the handset is a new benchmark when settling disputes with the domestic help. Recommended.'

          You know, if you could get your hands on a bunch of old iPhones, and make the trip to Redmond Washington, I could suggest a suitable "lackey" to attempt this project with.

          He has this reputation for chucking chairs out of buildings.
