How does this hit the top of HN without someone coming in and decrying it's nonhacker nature? I laughed at this, but I just want to stop and remark on the fact.
It's pretty commonly accepted to use an apostrophe when pluralizing an acronym. It might not technically be correct, but it improves readability, and sacrificing readability for correctness is silly.
