27 Why is it called "ppd"? It stands for "Parallel Pixie Dust", a term coined at the <a href="http://www.accu.org/">ACCU</a> by, if I recall correctly, Hubert Matthews in around 2001, whilst I was in conversation with him about thread libraries and their ability to shield a programmer from the issues of threading.
