batman factor
(jargon) | Batman factor
n.
1. An integer number representing the number of items hanging from a {
batbelt}. In most settings, a Batman factor of more than 3 is not
acceptable without odd stares and whispering. This encourages the hacker in
question to choose items for the batbelt carefully to avoid awkward social
situations, usually amongst non-hackers.
2. A somewhat more vaguely defined index of contribution to sense 1.
Devices that are especially obtrusive, such as large, older model cell
phones, “Pocket” PC devices and walkie talkies are said to have a high
batman factor. Sleeker devices such as a later-model Palm or StarTac phone
are prized for their low batman factor and lessened obtrusiveness and
weight.
