/derf/
[PLATO]
1. v. The act of exploiting a terminal which someone else has
absentmindedly left logged on, to use that person's account, especially to
post articles intended to make an ass of the victim you're impersonating.
It has been alleged that the term originated as a reversal of the name of
the gentleman who most usually left himself vulnerable to it, who also
happened to be the head of the department that handled PLATO at the
University of Delaware. Compare baggy pantsing.
2. n. The victim of an act of derfing, sense 1. The most typical posting
from a derfed account read “I am a derf.”.

floating point underflow
(foldoc) | underflow
floating point underflow
floating underflow
(or "floating point underflow", "floating
underflow", after "overflow") A condition that can occur
when the result of a floating-point operation would be
smaller in magnitude (closer to zero, either positive or
negative) than the smallest quantity representable. Underflow
is actually (negative) overflow of the exponent of the
floating point quantity. For example, an eight-bit {twos
complement} exponent can represent multipliers of 2^-128 to
2^127. A result less than 2^-128 would cause underflow.
Depending on the processor, the programming language and the
run-time system, underflow may set a status bit, raise an
exception or generate a hardware interrupt or some
combination of these effects. Alternatively, it may just be
ignored and zero substituted for the unrepresentable value,
though this might lead to a later divide by zero error which
cannot be so easily ignored.

lost in the underflow
(foldoc) | lost in the underflow
Too small to be worth considering; more specifically,
small beyond the limits of accuracy or measurement. This is a
reference to "floating point underflow".
The Hacker's Jargon File claimed that it is also a pun on
"undertow" (a kind of fast, cold current that sometimes runs
just offshore and can be dangerous to swimmers).
"Well, sure, photon pressure from the stadium lights alters
the path of a thrown baseball, but that effect gets lost in
the underflow".
Compare epsilon, epsilon squared; see also overflow bit.
