Downstrike's definitions
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of Bad News, which obeys its own special laws.
The Hingefreel people of Arkintoofle Minor did try to build spaceships that were powered by Bad New but they didn't work particularly well and were so extremely unwelcome whenever they arrive anywhere that there wasn't really any point in being there.

1. "Yes, I formatted it. Now what? Uh, huh. Uh, huh. Um, what's a backup?"
2. There is no quicker way to explain what a useless duh-weeb you are, than to call the tower or desktop unit the "hard drive", regardless how many times you've been told that it isn't. It's no wonder tech support can't understand what you're telling them.
3. "No, it's not Fat or Inty-Effess. It's a Dell, dude!"

Get the hard drive mug.by Downstrike November 1, 2004
Get the the big house mug.A piece of software, usually something lame that was installed by default with your OS, that takes over when your PC thinks you're not using it any more.
Some screensavers are cute, like Viking Kittens, and some have a purpose, like Make Love Not Spam, but most are just unimaginative lameness that installed by default with sWindles.

Get the screensaver mug.Late 70s and 80s slang, adj. As groovy and as it gets. Too cool to be just a passing fad, like saying tubular turned out to be.
Derived from a way cool 1973 album, titled Tubular Bells, by Mike Oldfield.
Vals picked up the word and that was the death of saying tubular. If it weren't for so many Vals saying, like tubular that other people associated it with Valspeak, people wouldn't have become afraid to continue saying tubular when Valspeak went out of style.

Even now, Peeps are still grooving to Tubular Bells, and they figured out by the 80s that it wasn't just a passing fad, so anything groovy enough to outlast a fad became tubular. It's too bad saying tubular wasn't tubular.
