Linkicide

fake dress

A pair of trousers that looks, from a distance, like a dress. Usually worn by women aren't proud to be female, yet are deluded into thinking they are doing their part to look girly. Very unoriginal.
Uther:"What a beautiful dress you have on!"
Igraine:"Those are pants."
Uther:"Ho-hum, another unoriginal tomboy wearing the typical fake dress."

sorcerer's apprentice mode

Like Mickey Mouse's brooms, sorcerer's apprentice mode is a computer event that triggers over and over again on its own output. There was once a time on USENET (an internet message board system) where a program was written to cancel anonymously posted messages automatically. Problem was, the canceling message was also an anonymous message which caused the program to trigger on its own output.

This actually will happen if you try to downgrade a 2.0 firmware PSP and you have Norton running...the screen real estate gets used up faster and faster with the same darn error message. This is because it gets a false positive that the downgrader is PSPBrick, then Norton quarantines the "virus" which causes it to notice the freshly quarantined virus as a new virus that was just installed seconds later, and the process repeats.

some source (sorce) code

int main(){
printf("There's been a horrible error!);
main(); /* call the main function and eat more memory */
}
return 0
"I tried to copy the downgrader to my PSP, but Norton seems to have went into sorcerer's apprentice mode."

peltier

1. A flat white square with two wires coming out of it, that, when hooked up to electricity, becomes hot on one side and cold on the other. Reversing the connections will swap the hot and cold sides. A solid-state heat pump. Found inside those iceless 12 volt coolers and on some overclocked computer chips. They are not usually used as a room air conditioner because they have a energy efficiency rating of less than 1, i.e. they generate more heat than they move. They have the advantages that there's no mechanical parts to break down, and no environmental issues with refrigerants such as the Freon used in a compressor, and they operate at 40dBa with fan instead of the 68 dBa of a commercial compressor with fan (read: much quieter)

2. A person's last name, so called because the first Peltiers used to collect pelts like fur trappers.
1. "My friend hooked up his peltier backwards, cooling his heatsink and heating his processor."

2. L. Peltier went out fur trapping with Phillipe Charmeoux back in the fairytale era.

DigitalNativeDance

The coolest sound on the Roland D-50 synthesizer keyboard. The sound is made by a short looping digital recording going through built in effects and the sound of the internal recordings of drums looping after you've held down the key for a while. It sounds like natives banging on drums.
You like the Mellotron String section? DigitalNativeDance is da bomb!

DigitalNativeDance is the one preset where you can just hold down one note and it will sound impressive.

Magicant

From a portmanteu of Magician and Can't. A practitioner of Clear Magic (illusion stage magic) that bungles every trick or isn't good with crowds.
Did you see that Magicant? He said he was going to pull a rabbit out of his hat but pulled out a bunch of rotten chicken eggs instead.

ipod blackburst

A name given to the iPod Video when the software won't let you put videos on it because it's in a standard format instead and not in the nonstandard format the iPod understands. Comes from the television industry term which describes a video signal which carries only a full color black picture (i.e. a content-free video signal).
Mobin had to return his ipod blackburst because it wouldn't play VCD MPEG videos.
