happy slap

A growing craze mostly popular with groups of chavs, especially in the London area, where they single out a complete stranger and smack them on the head, usually whilst recording it on a video phone, then do a runner.

The victim is almost always totally unaware, and they use it to their advantage so the vicim doesn't have a chance to grab the slapper and beat the living shit out of them.
Happy slappers are more evidence that humanity is either doomed or splitting.

Windows

The name of the operating systems made by Microsoft, which has developed from quite simple beginnings, into a more and more bloated and resource hungry OS. The reason 99% of people use it is because it's the only fucking thing available with good software/hardware support.

Each succesive release was designed to take advantage of the new and more powerful technologies available. Or in plain English, the extra bloat in the new version would require more powerful hardware, negating the extra processing power available and cancelling out the benefits of more powerful (not to mention expensive) hardware.
Person A: Windows sucks.
Person B: Why don't you use something else then?
Person A: Like what?
Person B: Linux? Mac?
Person A: Do they support all my hardware and programs?
Person B: Ah.

couldn't care less

The proper way to express how you don't give a crap about something - you really don't care about something and it's impossible to not care any more. The common but incorrect variant "could care less" (which would technically imply that you do care about something) is widely used because of either a translation mistake into English, or those who blindly use phrases without taking a moment to understand their actual meaning.
Person A: A company just got sued for patent infringement!
Person B: *yawn* Oh really? I couldn't care less.

doom 3

id software's latest game (and engine). Doom 3's graphics are probably one of the best for it's generation - the only catch is that you'll need a monster of a computer to run it. But all those great graphics are pointless since you can't see shit. Doom 3's monsters are also said to be very scary - if you could see them.
Person A: I don't think my computer can handle Doom 3.
Person B: Don't worry, just turn off your monitor.

nvidia

nVIDIA is a computer company well known for their GeForce line of graphics chips (they only make the chips and sell it to card vendors) and nForce line of high performance chipsets. nVIDIA had the reputation of being the leader in the graphics section, although their rival ATi has quickly closed the gap in recent years and now the two companies are locked in a never ending graphics war, with both sides briefly getting an upper hand here and there.
nVIDIA fanboy: ATi sucks.
ATi fanboy: nVIDIA sucks.

windows 2000

Probably the only fast and stable OS Microsoft has ever made. Windows 2000 (aka: Win2k) is based on the NT 5.0 kernel and is the predecessor to Windows XP, it's obese cousin.

Win2k will run almost all software made for WinXP, but since M$ wants your money, they have begun to intentionally cripple software to only work under WinXP, eg; Windows Media Player 10.
Being both fast and stable, this was contrary to Microsoft's commitment to bloated and buggy software, so Windows XP was released to address the issues with Windows 2000.
