product activation

An anti-piracy scheme created by Microsoft which requires users to "activate" their copy of Windows or Office. Activation sends your product key and a unique hardware identifier to Microsoft, so they know that a given copy of Windows is installed on a given PC. If a user tries to install that same copy of Windows on another computer, they are blocked. Activation is usually done automatically over the internet, but can also be done by calling Microsoft and talking to a rep.

Product activation was designed to stop piracy. But the only thing it's succeeded in stopping is the installation of legitimate copies of Windows by users who rightfully own it. Activation often fails when someone upgrades the hardware in their computer (since the hardware identifier is different). People who pirate software can easily get around product activation by use of cracks and key generators.

When I reinstalled Windows on my computer, it failed product activation, because I had replaced my processor and video card.

I downloaded a cracked copy of Windows off of Warez and it doesn't even try to activate itself!

producer rapper

A producer who tries to rap, but typically has less skill rapping and more talent making beats. Producer rappers are some of the best hip hop artists, however. Some examples are Kanye West and J. Cole. Being a producer rapper is admirable due to the talent it takes to be both a good producer and a good rapper.

"Then, you know, I'm not gonna name no names, but people told me, "oh, he's just a producer rapper."

"I said I wanted to rap and people said that wasn't going to work, they had this term producer rapper. It basically meant you wouldn't rap as good as the real rappers."

productive procrastination

A form of procrastination in which you refrain from doing other work by productively wasting time on only a part of the work you are already doing.

In other words, you are procrastinating by doing work while doing virtually no work.

Boy: What are you doing?
Girl: I have just spent the last hour making my math homework look pretty and neat instead of doing my English homework.
Boy: Wow, at least you're working on something.
Girl: That's productive procrastination for ya.
