philistine

1. A group of sub-pagans in Biblical times who were killed in a suicide attack by Samson.

2. A type of person who spends all of his/her life's CPU cycles on how to make everybody else's lives absolutely miserable--especially one who throws their legal weight around while doing so. Examples include schoolteachers, terrorists (of any race/religion), lawyers/ambulance chasers, Sammy on the soap opera "Days of Our Lives", hate groups, people who lobby for freedom from religion instead of freedom of religion (hellloooo! there's a difference there!), war-hungry peoples,the RIAA/MPAA/ISDA, spyware/malware/virus writers, those who support activation DRM in computer programs...etc.

Only a philistine would force people to pay for a non-energy-bearing electrical waveform.
