Get the weapon of ass destruction mug.A 'feature' of Windows XP and a type of Disobedient Computer Syndrome.
You can see a perfect example of this if you set the taskbar to autohide, and have say MSN Messenger running (and have disabled 'display alerts when a new message is recieved')
Whenever a new message comes in, the taskbar button for it will flash (or at least remain highlighted) until you click on it. As well, the taskbar itself will pop-up and you cannot get it to autohide until that button stops flashing (ie, you click on it to see what it is).
A *very* annoying feature as you might have several windows and programs running at once and may be focused on something which having to respond to a message (and seeing that bloddy button flashing like some attention craving person that refuses to wait for you and/or cannot understand that you're also doing other things and/or talking to other people) will break your concentration. Having busy or away mode will not stop this feature.
Pop-up's on websites and other windows demanding attention will also do it.
There is no apparent way to turn this feature off, making it one of the most aggrivating features in Windows XP.

A user is working in photoshop or watching a DVD with MSN set to away or busy when one of his contacts keeps messaging him, causing this wonderfull feature to distract him.
User: Hmmmm, looks like someone wants me to block him.

Get the The bouncy flashy taskbar button feature mug.A lovley folder in various versions of Windows and another prime example of Disobedient Computer Syndrome.
Will appear in your 'My Documents' folder whenever you open display control panel or open programs like Photoshop etc.
No matter now many times you delete it, it will re-appear.
Another example of how Windows wants everyone to do things its way and cannot understand that maybe just maybe people want to store their images in another folder.

My Pictures always appears in My Documents wether you want it to or not. You have no choice; resistance is futile.

Get the My Pictures mug.Pretty much what your average College or University student must learn to subside on because rent and education costs leave them basically in poverty.
What lots of teachers are known to say: Believe me guys; I was a poor student. I remember living on Kraft Dinner for weeks to afford my books.

Get the kraft dinner mug.1. A ninja from the anime Naruto who clearly is a homosexual. He doesn't give women a second look, and is obsessed with his brother and desperately seeks Orochimaru, a little boy collector. And he's a jerk. The show would be much better, without him.

Get the rockerchick mug.When a company hires another company to do some aspect of its work for it.
Examples of this include (but are not limited to):
* Stores using another companies cleaning services for cleaning its floors etc (rather then having employees of their own hired as full time cleaners).
* An ISP using a third party for its e-mail services rather then using servers of their own.
* A company in need of call centre services using a third person company rather then building a call centre of its own.
Companies often outsource to save money. However, it's also possible they want to concentrate on their main service and allow another company to worry about secondary ones (ie, companies whose main service are those secondary ones).
Outsourcing unfortunatly costs jobs domestically when companies outsource overseas. This is why people dislike it so much.
