Words that nerds use that I hate

distro - "distribution" please
tarball - "tar file" (the fact that it is gzipped, will be obvious to any that care)
architected - the word you are looking for is "designed" n.b. actual architects do not use this word to describe their activities.
sequel - Do you mean "S"-"Q"-"L"? (./ers you know the 'sequel' form is M$ spawn, right?)
