Make Love Not Spam

The anti-spam screensaver from Lycos UK. It's illegal to operate in many places, because it commits DDoS attacks. Any reputable ISP would cancel your Internet account for using it, as well.
The Make Love Not Spam screensaver uses your computer's idle time to commit Distributed Denial of Service attacks against spammers' servers, so the spammers are retaliating with DDoS attacks against the server that offers the screensaver download.

obstructionist

One who designs or acts in a way that obstructs others, making it difficult or impossible to do what needs to be done. Frequently uses conflict of interest to obstruct others. Also known as an asshole or duh-weeb, and most likely proud of it.
When you have to drive six blocks just to go around the corner, it's a good sign that the engineer who planned the city's one-way streets was an obstructionist.

For more examples, see bureaucracy, committee mentality, legislator, attorney, and corporation.

recipriversexcluson

A fundamental concept of Bistromathematics, as described in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, "a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself". Similar to, and easily confused with the related principle by which knowing that the answer is 42 precludes knowing the question.
42 is not a recipriversexcluson, because it really is the location of Stavromula Beta. What is precluded about 42 is knowing that Stavromula Beta is the question.

Yes, I am allowed to say so. In fact it's a necessity, because every publication of Hitchhiker is required, by yet another similarly related principle, to contradict all previous publications of it.

hard drive

1. The most efficient n00b detector ever invented.

2. A hardware component within the computer used for (hopefully) permanent storage.

3. N00bish slang for the box that contains the hardware components.
1. "Yes, I formatted it. Now what? Uh, huh. Uh, huh. Um, what's a backup?"

2. There is no quicker way to explain what a useless duh-weeb you are, than to call the tower or desktop unit the "hard drive", regardless how many times you've been told that it isn't. It's no wonder tech support can't understand what you're telling them.

3. "No, it's not Fat or Inty-Effess. It's a Dell, dude!"

A pandemic malady afflicting most anyone who uses hardware, software, and an operating system together. Add a network operating system or proprietary Internet connection software, and you have an acute case on your hands.

Abbreviation: DCS
Ever since I installed SP2, this blasted PC exhibits DCS by lipping off, (see lip off}, at me about the stupidest things instead of doing the task I gave it.
