DDOS

Distributed Denial-Of-Service: Form of electronic attack involving multiple computers, which send repeated HTTP requests or pings to a server to load it down and render it inaccessible for a period of time. Often used by freedom fighters on the Internet, usually attacking the systems of greedy corporations who want to sacrifice YOUR freedom for their profits.

Man, the RIAA got DDOSed again last Saturday! That's the third time this month! Maybe soon we'll have those kidraping fuckers off the 'net for good!

booming

In Real-Time Strategy games, the practice of building up a massive attacking force without actually attacking while building up. The resulting huge army is then hurled against an enemy with the intention of destroying them in one fell swoop. However, this tactic invariably fails against experienced players, since an area-attack weapon (like an Onager) can often flatten the whole invading army at a stroke. This then leaves the booming player open to unopposed retaliatory attacks.

MegaLlama tried booming on me, but I wiped his whole army with one Seige Onager and then razed his TC in less than 3 minutes! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

greed

n. 1. The defining characteristic of human nature. 2. The desire to own or control more resources than others.

Greed is not merely "I want more". Greed is "I want more than everybody else". Thus the majority of people are forcibly kept poor because if everyone had a million dollars, a loaf of bread would cost a hundred grand.
