Puhonix
Stereotypically duh-weebish way of pronouncing Phoenix, as presented by a commercial that targets duh-weebs.
Everybody knows that Phoenix is the capitol of Arizona, even that duh-weeb on the commercial that calls it Puhonix!
Flagstaff?!? Ha ha ha ha ha...
Flagstaff?!? Ha ha ha ha ha...

Preparing to Hibernate
sWindles meant to tell you that it's preparing to hibernate before it hibernates because it thinks that you're such a complete idiot that you don't know that you just told it to hibernate. However, since sWindles is the idiot that it thought you were, it tells you when it wakes up instead.

predictive maintenance
A high-tech version of, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It improves reliability and cost-effectiveness.
Predictive maintenance allows things to be repaired when they become at risk of breaking down, while avoiding repairing things that are not at risk.

1. I started at the beginning, with the Genesis of the word Genesis.
2. You can tell that Moses compiled Genesis from a number of sources because he repeatedly started from the beginning, and retold the first 7 days in the next telling as taking place in one day, because the word day is a metaphor.
3. In reality, the Genesis of a planet requires billions of years rather than a week of literal days, as in myth, or protomatter, as in Star Trek III.
4. Whether Genesis was better with Peter or with Phil is still hotly debated. (I prefer Phil, but that's just my personal taste.)
5. a. "Give me Genesis!"
5. b. "Genesis?!? Genesis planet is forbidden!"
6. Sega Genesis.

antitrust
An abuse of power or authority over a market to prevent consumers from buying or using the product or service of a competitor. See conflict of interest and monopoly.
When MyCrudSoft first rolled out sWindles, they made sure that it produced an error message while installing onto a better version of DOS than their own, leading consumers to think the better DOS was flawed, even though sWindles worked with it just fine.
Kneejerk Corruptions, Incorrigible will do anything they can to prevent the owner of a domain from transferring it to another registrar. They did it best when they were also the register with which all the other registrars had to register domains.

monopoly
Monopoly: A bored, (pardon the Freudian slip), game.
monopoly: A legal concept that has been legislated out of existence by attorneys, judges, and legislators. Now that all legal definitions of monopoly are unlawful, simply understand this: When a corporation is so big that it doesn't need to worry about whether consumers like doing business with it, because they have no choice, it's a monopoly.

No please, let's not play Monopoly.
