Make Love Not Spam

The anti-spam screensaver from Lycos UK. It's illegal to operate in many places, because it commits DDoS attacks. Any reputable ISP would cancel your Internet account for using it, as well.
The Make Love Not Spam screensaver uses your computer's idle time to commit Distributed Denial of Service attacks against spammers' servers, so the spammers are retaliating with DDoS attacks against the server that offers the screensaver download.

Distributed Denial of Service

If you say this entire phrase out loud, either you are a nobody, because nobody ever says the entire phrase, or you are explaining DDoS to a n00b.

Windows Downdate

The most prolific source of computer trojans online, frequently euphemized as Windows Update.
Windows Downdate frequently prompts the user to "update" Windows/MSN Messenger to version 4.7 even though version 6 or 7 is already installed.

After installing SP2, Windows Downdate wanted me to update a bunch of things that I updated before SP2, so I don't know if SP2 downdated them, or if Windows Downdate wanted to downdate them after SP2 updated them.

lynch mob

1. A group of people that lynches someone who was accused of something, but who was never tried for it.

2. The group of people who lynched Jesus, even though he was tried and found innocent.

3. The masses of people who celebrate a lynching by displaying replicas, from their necks and on their homes and churches, of the weapon used in a lynching.
90 years ago, a lynch mob used a weapon made of rope to lynch my paternal grandfather.

2,000 years ago, a lynch mob used a weapon made of wood to lynch my Eternal Father.

I won't insult the memory of either one of them by displaying a replica of the injustice committed against either one of them.
