I wipe my ass with ActiveX.
ActiveX by Edward Giffard August 17, 2006
Some convoluted proprietary solution Microsoft came up with because they thought web standards meant being compatible with Internet Explorer 6.

A case study on why platform-specific proprietary solutions are bad for the web: Korea.
ActiveX was the reason why the Korean web was stuck in the early 2000's for over a decade. Everyone there was using it for either adding multimedia and/or security encryption, and this resulted in the country being one of the last nations to still hold onto IE 6 during the second browser wars.

This made it impossible to do any online banking, shopping, social media (Cyworld was big back then), etc., so using Firefox or Chrome meant you're SOL if you live in Korea.
Some native English teacher in Korea - Hey Soyoung, why can't I use my Mac to log into Nonghyub Bank?
Soyoung - Oh, you have to use Internet Explorer 6 and enable ActiveX. Korea uses advanced software for their websites?
English Teacher - ActiveX? You mean that P.O.S. Microsoft abandoned years ago? Wtf...

Politically Active 

At its best it means interested in politics and government; trying to make a changes in public policy, laws or the government working to get an official elected, or lobbying to have legislation passed, collecting petition signatures. It can also mean a person trying to change things for their own benefit, to gain status or power in the workplace. It can also mean someone who is a nuisance, constantly wanting to change things and who interferes in matters that are none of their concern. At its worst it means a total fuckwit like Russell Brand a self-styled activist for whom politically active means espousing views that the majority of people find repugnant or ridiculous.
Some people are politically active because they have nothing else in their lives.

Officer phil: That suspect lad in activegxng is disturbing london with that rambo of his we need to put him in a can.

Smith2splashy: Are you skunked? Suspect guy uses his rambo to spread jam on toast that’s all.
