Fine, here's a real factoid:
In the field of data storage, there's a class of devices known as "JBODs". Basically, when you are trying to have access to a large number of hard drives in a single appliance, you have 2 choices. Either you connect them through a controller that adds fuctionality such as data protection and availability protection. This is known as a RAID controller, which stands for "Redunant Array of Indipendant Disks". Or you just put a bunch of disks in a box and connect directly to them with no other functionality. This is known as JBOD which stands for....."Just a Bunch of Disks." On a similar highly technical note, if you've been using Windows long enough, you've seen a fatal error, where the screen turns blue and displays a bunch of technical crap about what just went wrong. This is known in the industry as a BSOD, "Blue Screen of Death".
