More SLAM neologisms
In addition to our new uses of slam, the word, SLAM as an acronym, tends to be very popular with tech-types. SLAM is, Simultaneous Localization And Mapping -- a way of using robotics to improve maps. Or, SLAM is a Microsoft Research project (Software, Languages Analysis and Modeling; later changed to SocialLocation Annotation Mobile.) I have no idea what this is about, but it is not to be confused with BLAST, a similar something-or-other that stands for Berkeley Lazy Abstraction Software verification Tool. It all makes these techies sound like a very aggressive bunch.
