Having a smart phone or any phone really that has predictive text; you sometimes come across words that make you wonder why it’s not already listed as a word. Here are my top 10 words I’ve had to add to my custom dictionary. 

• 10. MMS
  Come on it’s a smart phone and it’s not an iPhone so it should know what MMS is.
• 9. crapper
  It’s not an uncommon word
• 8. beta
  For a company who leaks beta’s non-stop, you would think this would be a part of their vocab.
• 7. fosho
  I can’t think of a better way to say definitely…other than definitely of course.
• 6. Coors
  I mean come on. It’s a taste of the Rockies.
• 5. fart
  This isn’t even slang. It’s a part of life.
• 4. badass
  How else am I going to describe an awesome meal?
• 3. natty
  The sweet nectar of life…how could you over look this word.
• 2. aight
  I want to be able to say “ok” in more than 2 characters.
• 1. whateverthefuckever
  From the classic, Pulp Fiction, it should be a part of every dictionary.

A byte is a basic unit of measurement of information storage in computer science.

The Breakdown

• kilobyte (kB) = 1024 bytes
• Megabyte (MB) = 1024² bytes (1024 kB)
• Gigabyte (GB) = 1024³ bytes (1024 MB)
• Terabyte (TB) = 1024⁴ bytes (1024 GB)
• Petabyte (PB) = 1024⁵ bytes (1024 TB)

Other measurements include: Exabyte, Zettabyte, and Yottobyte.

The worlds fastest data transfer was sent over a fiber strand at 25.6 TB/s.

Nerd Tip of the Day:

In a class 5 outbreak of a Zombie infestation, try to stay away from crowded places such as:

1. Hospitals
2. Police Stations
3. Churches

When panic sets in most people think the safest place normally is where they need to go. Hospitals tend to be a great starting point for breakouts. Infected people go in for treatment then end up spreading the virus to others.

Safe places to find would include:

• 1. Military bases
• 2. Schools (because the ability to lock doors)
• 3. Any upstairs floor if you can take out the stairwell

Nerd Tip of the Day:
