Computing

Schachter's Hypothesis The observation that "Given two unrelated technical terms, an Internet search engine will retrieve only résumés". This was first formulated by Joshua Eli Schachter (http://www.burri.to/~joshua/) in about 1998, while poring over the uniformly irrelevent pages that resulted from a search he'd run on "+Perl +MAPI" in Altavista. (2002-02-04). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.
