This is a competition and the winner will receive a CD full of very rare and precious work units. Do you know what BOINC stands for?

I personally think

BOINC = Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Normal Chaos

What do you think?


Entries so far (from Part 1)

No idea, but I think something from Batman would have sounded better - KERPOW or SPLAT perhaps. BOINC sounds a bit wimpish.

I don't know what BOINC stands for, but I seem to remember Carla on the old Cheers TV show using the term. Something like, "Hey, Sam, when are you gonna BOINC Diane?"

Is that significant?
