A wave (or particle) that makes up electromagnetic radiation, or 'light.' This particle is also the quantization of the electromagnetic force. A vibrating electron will release a photon.
Scientists are still not sure whether photons are particles or waves. In reality, they have characteristics of both, leading some to suggest that they are particles which ride on an electromagnetic wave like surfers. One wonders what would happen if they fell off their hypothetical surfboards.
"Photon" is also used in The Hitchhiker Trilogy as a curse word, as in "What the photon is it, Ford?"

1. Members of the species homo sapiens.
2. The members of the species homo sapiens taken as a group. While not the most numerous species either in individual number or in biomass, they consider themselves the dominant species of their planet, which the majority of them call "Earth." This claim is quite possibly justified, seeing as they have covered a great deal of it with their own constructions, never realizing that they are destroying many of the resources they depend upon in the process.
Many of them believe they were created by some sort of god, however, few agree upon exactly what form this god takes nor what his opinions on certain matters are.
Essentially, a bunch of mother fuckers who think they're leet haxors just because they've progressed so far that they have the nuclear capabilities blow up the Earth, and yet still can't manage to live on the same planet without starting a few hundred wars a year, consuming the natural resources they depend upon without heed for their future, mistreating each other for various superficial reasons such as race or ethnic group or in some cases for no reason at all, and continually complaining about the problems they've created for themselves.

1. A very intelligent inventor in Greek mythology who supposedly invented the labyrinth. He was subsequently imprisoned by King Minos of Crete, but escaped with his son Icarus by creating wings made of seagull feathers, wax, and string. Icarus, however, flew too close to the sun, and the wax melted - he fell to his death in the Ocean.
2. An Artificial Intelligence in the game Deus Ex: The Conspiracy. Created by Majestic 12 in order to identify terrorists, it identified Majestic 12 as a terrorist organization itself. Its predecessor was the Morpheus prototype, and it later joined with Icarus to form Helios. One method of winning the game was to join with the Helios AI.
3. Me.

A term given to those in an online multiplayer game (usually FPS) who will place themselves in a strategic position and wait for an extended period of time until a target enters his field of view. The position usually allows one to surprise the target and allows the "camper" to eliminate him with ease. There are variants of this such as camping an item to repeatedly gain its benefits and defending a critical location.
Camping is a perfectly legitimate strategy, but is criticized by a majority of the online community, usually because players get frustrated by being killed in such a fashion, it slows the game down and is considered an unskilful art. Idiots always resort to insulting a camper, who will most likely have a higher score than them. Incompetent admins sometimes kick them and the camper society becomes one of ridicule and resentment.
It isn’t illegal to position yourself in such a way that you have an advantage, that’s smart thinking and its part of the game. Some people need to grow some balls.
