From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   uninteresting adj.   1. Said of a problem that, although
   {nontrivial}, can be solved simply by throwing sufficient resources
   at it.   2. Also said of problems for which a solution would neither
   advance the state of the art nor be fun to design and code.
  
      Hackers regard uninteresting problems as intolerable wastes of
   time, to be solved (if at all) by lesser mortals.   _Real_ hackers
   (see {toolsmith}) generalize uninteresting problems enough to make
   them interesting and solve them -- thus solving the original problem
   as a special case (and, it must be admitted, occasionally turning a
   molehill into a mountain, or a mountain into a tectonic plate).   See
   {WOMBAT}, {SMOP}; compare {toy problem}, oppose {interesting}.
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   unwind the stack vi.   1. [techspeak] During the execution of a
   procedural language, one is said to `unwind the stack' from a called
   procedure up to a caller when one discards the stack frame and any
   number of frames above it, popping back up to the level of the given
   caller.   In C this is done with `longjmp'/`setjmp', in LISP or C++
   with `throw/catch'.   See also {smash the stack}.   2. People can
   unwind the stack as well, by quickly dealing with a bunch of
   problems: "Oh heck, let's do lunch.   Just a second while I unwind my
   stack."
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   unwind-protect n.   [MIT: from the name of a LISP operator] A

   a project.   "I have an unwind-protect to call my advisor."

   Uninterruptible Power Supply
  
      (UPS) A battery powered power supply that is
      guaranteed to provide power to a computer in the event of
      interruptions in the incoming electrical power.   Different
      rating UPSs will provide power for different lengths of time.
  
      Modern UPSs connect to the computer's {serial port} and
      provide information such as battery time remaining, allowing
      the computer to shut down {gracefully} before complete loss of
      power.

   unwind-protect
  
      ({MIT}) A {Lisp} operator which evaluates an expression and
      then, even if that expression causes a {non-local exit},
      evaluates zero or more other expressions.   This can be used to
      ensure that essential "clean-up" operations are performed even
      in the presence of errors.
