  Heh, just "ied" will give you this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvised_explosive_device https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvised_explosive_device "ied package manager" works, though.

    Normally, I am not a fan of replacing words in the search engine with computer science stuff (think AJAX), but I can accept computer words replacing words that symbolize violence.

      Your results, even when logged out, are heavily biased towards your previous query genres. For instance, I'm not logged in, but am at home with an IP address that hasn't changed in over a year despite being leased. When I search Google for the term "Ruby", the entire first page is for the Ruby programing language. My father works with jewelry. Last week while visiting him, I did in fact search for the term "Ruby" on his computer in his normal browser, and even though he was also logged out, I wasn't able to find one result dealing with the programming language on the first two pages.

        Google understands that Ruby can mean different things to different people, although I don't think it's gotten there with "ied" yet (and rightfully so, it's probably not searched for very often, except in the violent sense)

    That sounds like just begging to be put on a list, though :)

I'm not sure "IED" is the best acronym to go for, either: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvised_explosive_device https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvised_explosive_device

  Didn't stop NUKE, PHP Nuke, DotNetNuke, etc.

    That brings me way back. Any love for PostNuke out there anymore?

      Since we're going back in time, let's not forget WWIV and WWIVnet.

    "Free software projects with terrible names" is a long, long rabbit hole.

  It gets brought up on a regular basis. Thought it was going to be renamed to `nom` but apparently not. https://github.com/alexanderGugel/ied/pull/45#issuecomment-174647786 https://github.com/alexanderGugel/ied/pull/45#issuecomment-1... > Thanks, but I'm not going to rename this project anytime soon.

    That's unfortunate. Maybe sentiment on HN will finally get him to come to his senses.

  But it's the bomb.
