Indonesian Words for English Jargons of Internet and Technology

Even Kagami doesn't understand Konata's RPG terms
Even Kagami doesn't understand this... \^o^/


Well, we can encounter these Indonesian words if we use Indonesian version of some internet services and browsers like Firefox, Blogger, and Google Chrome.

cih manusia rese mana yang menciptakan hal-hal aneh macam ini... IMHO this is so stupid...

dre said...

IP itu kan Internet Protocol, bukan Identification personal... kalo gak salah PIN itu Personal identification number...

@Dre:
Manusia rese dari Indonesia, pastinya.

Ini adalah salah satu bentuk kasus di mana sesuatu ingin dibuat mudah, hasilnya malah tambah runyam dan njelimet.

E.g: jujur lebih nikmat menyebut Domain Name Server daripada "peladen nama ranah." Apa-apaan itu?

Ah iya, yang IP itu salah. Telah saya ganti, terima kasih, Dr Dre
