Kneejerk Corruptions, Incorrigible

The second-leading source of antitrust, right on the heals of MyCrudSoft sWindles. Frequently euphemized as Network Solutions, Incorporated.

In 1999 and 2000 Kneejerk Corruptions, Incorrigible held my domain name for ransom for seven months while I tried to transfer it to a different registrar, until I got the Better Business Bureau on their case.

Entertainment

Anything that causes enjoyment. Requires an audience, or there is no one to enjoy it. That which is enjoyable varies from audience to audience, so the precise definition of entertainment is a variable dependent upon the audience.

There is no entertainment on the planet Venus because there is no one to enjoy what ever is happening there.

If it wasn't for some very strange people, most of what is on television would not be entertainement.

If you expect high moral standards of others but don't live by themself, your moral character is useless.

browser snob

A web site that turns its nose up at legitimate, fully-functional browsers, such as IE 7 or Firefox simply because the webmaster won't tolerate his site being viewed using off-brand browsers and can't be bothered to update the site's script to recognize legitimate browsers.

Some monopolistic corporations, such as MyCrudSoft, are browser snobs. You have to do business with them on their terms because they don't even need to care whether you like doing business with them. It's their way making sure you know that they don't have to give a crap about you.
