Check how it is spelled in computer science books, e.g.,
see the list at
  http://www2.uwindsor.ca/~hlynka/qonline.html

OK, it seems to be either way, but +e seems to be ahead
of -e.

This is one of those times when I don't want to touch the english language with a 10 foot pole.  On that note, it's almost 4 am and I'm going to bed...I'll resubmit this sans-queuewhatever tomorrow.  Thanks for the feedback.

Dictionary.com is incomplete. Please use a proper reference if you are
going to fix "spelling" errors.

The Oxford English Dictionary lists both forms as correct.

It seems many references are incomplete in some way or another.  But I don't disagree, I will try to use a more robust source of the english language (I had actually checked multiple previously, and apparently they were equally deficient).  The new patch:

I've got the 2 volume OED to hand here so if you want to check any of
them or run them past me feel free.
