I did not know that ...
Zip in "ZIP CODE" is an acronym for - "Zoning Improvement Plan". USPS officially adopted the zone improvement plan in 1963. The 5 Digit Zip code worked as follows -
The first digit designated a broad geographical area of the United States, ranging from zero for the Northeast to nine for the far West. This was followed by two digits that more closely pinpointed population concentrations and those sectional centers accessible to common transportation networks. The final two digits designated small post offices or postal zones in larger zoned cities.
UNIX stands for - UNiplexed Information and Computing System (originally spelled Unics).
RSVP stands for - Repondez, s'il vous plait (although I knoe it was French, didnt know the exact word). Stands for "Respond, please."
Most wired country in the world is - S.Korea, with broadband connections in 70% of its household. Broadband is everywhere, its fast nd its cheap. Some stats on Mobile Phones show that nearabout 2/3rds of Koreans have handsets that are 10 times faster than those used out here in the USA.
Most common password - is "password" itself. But I guess with the security check that they do now-a-days it would be impossible to keep "password" as your password. A list of common passwords can be found here. Make sure that you scan all of em and if you find yours out here, it would be a good idea to change it ;)
