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.

screensaver

A piece of software, usually something lame that was installed by default with your OS, that takes over when your PC thinks you're not using it any more.

Some screensavers are cute, like Viking Kittens, and some have a purpose, like Make Love Not Spam, but most are just unimaginative lameness that installed by default with sWindles.

tubular

Late 70s and 80s slang, adj. As groovy and as it gets. Too cool to be just a passing fad, like saying tubular turned out to be.

Derived from a way cool 1973 album, titled Tubular Bells, by Mike Oldfield.

Vals picked up the word and that was the death of saying tubular. If it weren't for so many Vals saying, like tubular that other people associated it with Valspeak, people wouldn't have become afraid to continue saying tubular when Valspeak went out of style.

Even now, Peeps are still grooving to Tubular Bells, and they figured out by the 80s that it wasn't just a passing fad, so anything groovy enough to outlast a fad became tubular. It's too bad saying tubular wasn't tubular.

rents

Shorter form of the word parents. Also, those who pay the rent.

They're rents regardless why you call them that.
