In computer science, FINO is a humorous scheduling algorithm.
It is an acronym for first in, never out as opposed to traditional first in, first out (FIFO) and last in, first out (LIFO) algorithms.
FINO works by withholding all scheduled tasks permanently.
A stateful FINO queue can be used to implement a memory leak.
[citation needed] The first mention of FINO appears in the Signetics 25120 write-only memory joke datasheet.
