sansa

A digital audio/video player made by SanDisk, which also includes an FM radio, voice recorder, and image viewer. A Sansa is cheaper than an iPod, but is way better for the money.

By installing RockBox on your Sansa, you can add games, applications, and more. Also, with RockBox, a Sansa can actually play videos longer than 10 minutes in length and can play MPEG files with much better compression than the default firmware's MJPEG-in-MOV files.
My $80 Sansa can do more than your $250 iPod Nano.

geek

Somebody who is very good with computers and does not have a normal social life.

Sometimes the term "geek" can be used to describe someone with a strong interest for something other than computers.
I'm a computer geek. I can set up Active Directory, write an executable program, and run Windows in a virtual machine, but there's no way I can ask a girl out on a date.

She's a history geek.

visual fred

A nickname for Microsoft's Visual Basic .NET programming language, given by users of Visual Basic 6. The name originated from the fact that Visual Basic .NET differs greatly from Visual Basic 6 and thus should not use the same name.
Call it Visual Bob, Visual Fred... anything but Visual Basic. It's just not the same programming language!

key generator

A program that uses brute force to obtain a valid product key for a software product. This is often used to bypass Microsoft's product activation without installing a crack.
My friend used a key generator to get a product key for her copy of Microsoft Office, since she didn't have the COA.
