According to my experience, projects names made up of crap acronyms are much more likely to stick in memory than project named DS3875-T9-#.

Yeah - and these things seem to go in phases.
In the 1980s and early 1990s they were all Roman or Greek gods (Apollo, Pegasus etc.)
Then there were physics related names (Electron, Quantum etc.)
Now biological / neuroscience (Hive, Synapse, Cortex)

Still in use at many, many companies.
I don't mind them really as indeed it helps to memorize the content of the project (given it is done properly)

The best (and most ridiculous) Backronym we have was made out of the inventor's first name.

Just nipped out to look at the eclipse before the sun sets behind the hills.
Can hardly read the screen now, for the mass of green and purple dots.

No, it was a partial solar eclipse[^]

Whoa. You should never look at those.

Well, depends on the sky conditions, there are times you can look full at the sun and be fine (e.g. at sunset when the air is thick and it's orange). But yeah as a rule looking straight at the sun is a poor idea.

Really really bad idea, I hope the hope effect goes away but don't ever repeat it because you may not be so lucky next time.

The potential damage is often exaggerated, in fact.

You do know that watching a solar eclipse can severely damage your retina, don't you?

Quote: to look at the eclipse before the sun sets behind the hills.
You Australians are so weird. The rest of the world does not consider it an eclipse when the sun goes behind the hills. We call that sundown. So silly.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
