Hmm, I guess that depends on if you mean computer terms in general, hacker
lingo, specific platform terms, etc…
There is E.S.R's jargon file, for the lingo side of things.
http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/
If you are desiring to look up specific terms, TechWeb has an IT encyclopedia
http://www.techweb.com/encyclopedia/
There's the Free On-Line Dictionary Of Computing:
http://foldoc.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/index.html
For acronyms in specific, my favorite is Acronym Finder:
http://www.acronymfinder.com/
While Wikipedia is a general encyclopedia, it does well on computer terms,
as it's up-datable by anyone on-line. This has some downsides, but it's
done pretty well on most things for me.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
HowStuffWorks has many computer tech related articles, and is great for
defining things for those less technically inclined:
http://www.howstuffworks.com/
The File Extension Source is handy if you are trying to figure out a
Windows file extension:
http://filext.com/index.php
(There are other similar speciality resources for other platforms, etc.)
That's what's in my bookmarks.
