ACK deux

As a follow-up to my first ACK post, it seems I left a few ACK’s out. It’s getting a bit thick in here… so I will try and keep my self indulgance to a dull mummer… but thought it might be nice to give the other ack’s credit.
From the ACK wiki:

ACK is a three-letter abbreviation with multiple meanings, as described below:

* a packet used in the Transmission Control Protocol to acknowledge receipt of a packet, and the basis of TCP’s reliability.
* the “Acknowledge” control character (code 0×06) in the C0 control code set used in ASCII.
* an abbreviation used in Hacker slang, see the corresponding entry in the Jargon File Wiki.
* the IATA airport code for Nantucket Memorial Airport (after “Ackerly Field”).
* an interjection made popular in the U.S. by Bill the Cat from Bloom County.
* the National Rail code for Acklington railway station, United Kingdom.

Always did like that cat from Bloom County.
