GNU/Linux 

What the really hardcore, Richard Stallman-worshipping open-source nerds call Linux.
Uber-nerd: "What operating system you using?"
Nerd: "Linux, of course."
Uber-nerd: "DON'T CALL IT LINUX, IT'S GNU/LINUX, LINUX IS JUST THE KERNEL THAT USES THE GNU-LICENSED blah blah blah..."
*Nerd punches uber-nerd in face*
Nerd: "Shut up."

etherkiller 

Device for instantly killing computer equipment: an Ethernet jack on one side, spliced to a power cord on the other end. When plugged into an internet port, floods the computer with electricity, thus destroying it. Invented by the BOFH (Bastard Operator From Hell) from Simon Travaglia.
The IT guy was pissed off about being fired, so he took his etherkiller from router to router, frying them.

vgchartz 

A website that shows sales data for all of the next-gen consoles. Also includes forums where the most rabid fanboys to be found anywhere on the internet hang out.
Man, I was on vgchartz, and all I did was post one thread asking why the Wii was selling so much better than PS3, and I got torn apart by Sony fanboys!
