so many genitalia jokes that could be made right now....
Actually, eponymous just means anything being named after it's own subject matter. For example, when a band's album is named after the band, or a book is named after the main character, the title is eponymous. So Q-tip brand Q-tips are eponymous, Walmart brand cotton swabs are not.
Okay, technically it's a genericized trademark, which has eponym as a synonym, and eponymous is a more fluid term that has a close-enough meaning.

Just for you. Whiney little bi-
1) you missed the joke.
2) I'm a member of the gay "bear" community, so one man's trash and all that.

Hey, you stick to the vague, never explicitly mentioned rules of nebulously formed patterns, or you DON'T GET TO PLAY.

Well, in that case, you're welcome, I guess. Don't say I never inadvertently and slightly deameaningly did anything for ya.

More pointing pictures!
Scotsmen. I guess. Apparently, God is Scottish.

Agreed, now git off meh golf course.
In your computer there's a sheet of fiberglass laminated together in layers with copper that carries the electrical signals between all the chips and parts that make up the brains of your computer.
The signals are going so fast that they travel like waves on the wiring. A given wire, for instance, between the memory chips and the CPU is never in a single state, hi or low, or on or off, there's a steam of potential voltages moving along the wire like a series of waves moving down a river.
Because of this, when there are many wires between two devices, many of the wires all have to be the same length. If you look carefully, you'll see the wires wriggling and sometimes doubling back while others go straight. This is so the wires are all the same length when necessary for the signals that were sent at the same time to reach the receiving device at the same time.
In the time light leaves your monitor and reaches your eyes your CPU has processed between four and thirty instructions. The memory chips will have read or written about 128 bytes of data.
