Software Crackers

Beautiful people. Software crackers are those that in most cases produce cracks, keygens and patches for the latest and greatest proprietary software. They understand the risks and are aware they break the law, but they do so for the greater good, meaning programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Office are available for torrent. One should always pay for software if given the chance, but... who's got £150+ for a digital office suite?

Software crackers mean that i can get all the software i need for my school coursework without having to fork out money i can't afford to do so.

software libre 

is the term commonly used on continental Europe, and increasingly in other non-anglophone areas for Free & Open-Source Software/Code.
Anglophones sometimes have arguments over "free" v. "open" (libre, gratis, abierto...); the continentals don't waste their time.
The Spanish sometimes say codigo abierto (open code) too when referring to this concept.
See free software and FOSS.

FOSS, FLOSS, open-source, free software are all covered by software libre.
Examples of products: Linux, the Apache web server, Firefox

Software Engineer

A person who is rejected by the Engineering community, due to a dispute over whether software engineering is really engineering, despite the fact that software engineers don't purely write code and actually are taught other aspects of engineering.

John (Mech Eng): Hey Jim, what do you do for a living?
Jim: I'm a software engineer.
John: Nerd!
Jim: Yeah? Well this nerd wrote the program for the flight computer of the aircraft you are designing, as well as the program you used to design it. Lazy ass.
John: Meehheeh fucker. *Aside* (Dude I wish I make as much as he does. All these stupid fucking problems I did and all I get for it is to be made fun of by a rather sexy man actually.)

software piracy 

The act of illegally copying and distributing commercial software. Software piracy can range from simply letting a friend "borrow" a CD-ROM to actually selling pirated software and passing it off as genuine.

Software companies employ various methods to fight piracy, including product activation and CD keys.

My friend let me borrow his Office CD; I accepted, even though this was software piracy.

Those guys selling copies of Windows Vista Ultimate for $15 a copy are guilty of software piracy.

software engineer

One who both designs and codes commercial computer programs. It combines the specialties of system analyst and programmer. The term is denigrated by "professional" engineers because there are no licensing or standards boards. Anyone can call himself a Software Engineer.

Our software development project went very smoothly because the software engineers were fully involved from the initial specifications through product completion and testing.

Software Destruction Fetish

A particular fetish for the kinky in the tech industry. The deletion of lines of code or destruction of computers produces a high-pitched orgasm.

Dude, you know the boss? I've heard she has a serious software destruction fetish. I've seen her touch herself while deleting important directories.
