CraigHB Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 So I'm watching my first few episodes of Hak.5 and I hear this term FAIL bus and I'm thinking, gee I know a fair amount about computer architecture and I've never hear of a FAIL bus. Is that some newfangled communications architecture? Then I realized they were talking about fail as in failure not FAIL as in an acronym, and bus as in 4 wheels not bus as in a collection of wires, well, whaduyaknow... So I'm curious, where did this expression come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought someone would be willing to answer me in coversation. I see where people on this forum are coming from. See ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Sierakowski Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I think he was referring to the fact that it was a LMGTFY, which I think we can all agree has gotten completely out of control. Funny the first 20 times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HacDan Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 You asked about the Fail bus.... did you really expect a serious answer? Honestly? You realized the humor about the realization of the phrase. Expecting a serious answer to a very funny term... well that's probably not going to happen. Admittedly, I wasn't very original, I could have posted the first link from a Google search, but due to the nature of the question, I decided using something a bit humorous would be more fitting. (On a side note I am far from being a comedian, so flaming me for my attempts are welcomed with open arms.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
