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 geekasm, 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}.
