Oh, I love this thread! But do you realise that with all this conversation, 72 new acronyms have been created since I updated the site five days ago? I don't think I'll wait until a week has passed, I might update it again later today.

I'm wondering if there might have to be a new category for your computer magazine acronyms. The other computer-eating acronyms are in Do Not Eat, a subcategory of Computers, and the magazine ones will fit there also since they're computer related. But there is an alias of that category called Computer Parts & Peripherals inside the Food category. Perhaps I need to rename that alias to something like Computers or Computer Cuisine.

If computer parts really were edible, would they be LARDWARE?

Left Alone, Rebelling Dieters Will Absorb Recyclable Electronics

I'd welcome a better word than Absorb, I don't have a thesaurus handy.

Assimilate? - but it's not much better.

How about changing 'Dorks' to a part of the anatomy, like Duodenum?

Where did the Expansion "Do Not Eat" come from? I don't remember an Acronym DNE, so I worked it into one.... I hope nobody minds if "The Master" bends a few 'rules'...

Duodenum would work...rather well since it's part of the intestine.

Why should me and my mouse be noted?

Angela?  You apparently had a computer w/Internet handy.  Webster.com has a really good dictionary and thesaurus...very handy since all my dictionaries are really old and/or chinsy.

While being annoyed that there probably won't be a new PowerBook before my hardware discount runs out, I noticed this footnote on Apple's page about the new low-end iPod, the iPod Shuffle:

Do not eat iPod shuffle.

With an official recommendation like that, I had to apronymise it.
