net present value

Money has a time value, net present value is future cashflows brought back to today's value against a discount factor (11% is standard), minus the initial investment. If the net present value of cumulative cashflows is positive, then the project should be accepted, unless a more profitable investment is also availiable.
To calculate the NPV of an investment, one must know the discount factor, cost of investment and expected incomes (based off accurate data)

net vulture

A man or woman that will try and pick up your spouse or partner by way of the internet. Also they will use other forms of technology to do this. The sms or text message is one of their preferred methods also. This usually happens behind ones back. Also this is predominantly a male thing, nothing can be done about it, confronting ones partner or spouse and accusing them of flirting with these people will backfire and you will be the bad guy. They are extremely good at manipulation and usually have a few women/men on the go at once. Beware frequent IRC and Messenger sessions.
"im sick of these fucking net vultures tuning you"
"if that net vulture chats you up again ill kick his fucking ass" (this is a hard one to pull off, these people work behind a monitor thats why its so easy for them to feel no remorse whatsoever by picking up your partner. Although it is easy to kick a net vultures ass if you get the chance, they are usually low self esteemed geeks that cant pick up women in the real world.
