Originally from a quote on the PBS show Scientific American Frontiers (week
of May 21st 2002) by MIT professor Alex Slocum: When they build a machine,
if they do the calculations right, the machine works and you get this
intense. .. uhh. .. just like a , from knowing that what you created in
your mind and on the computer is actually doing what you told it to do.
Unsurprisingly, this usage went live on the Web almost instantly. Every
hacker knows this feeling. Compare earlier progasm.
