I was seeing these TRON threads and I got to wondering idf the word TRON stood for something I can't remember....

Google is my friend:

''The Real-Time Operating System Nucleus''

Though I like the other versions better.

That would be TRTOSN. Does not exactly roll off the tongue, huh?

LOL

I spit out my soda when I saw this. Haven't had a good spit take in a long time.

It is a programming abbreviation for Trace On, which I think alludes to letting you debug code line by line.

In the movie it didn't. The director, Steven Lisburger, thought it sounded cool.

In real life, it is a debugging command in BASIC.
 
Mostly fruits and vegetables. Mostly.

Fritz has, but he's usually spitting back onto someone's lap, and sadly its not soda.

*runs the fuck out of this thread*

I'm sure, "and sadly its not soda." Why is that so sad? Like someone would be earnestly telling someone this story and then slowly shaking their head finish with: "and sadly its not soda." Ahahahahahahahaha

Hahahahah, like its unexpected right? I'm still crying laughing.
 
I think Im more sad for the poor John who is getting spit back on by Fritzy. That poor bastard and his ruined pants.

I guess you learn something new every day- I thought it was simply a Disney fabricated title, taken from elecTRONic. Pretty cool that it's an actual term.
