Service Pack 2

Also known as SP2.

A software update for the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.

A pitiful attempt by Microsoft to control the amount of circulating threats to their systems with basic, buggy applications. Utilizing their Windows Update service, the software is automatically downloaded and installed - an attempt to control the security market.

It contains basic software add-ons for their applications. These add-ons are very annoying, especially for the experienced computer users who already have better applications, but that are not recognized as proper programs as they are not authorized or owned by Microsoft.

Computers users with little experience are given a false sense of well being, and generally are taken advantage of.

SP2 contains a number of generally useless add-ons for their applications which although seem as if they will do your computer good, will affect perfectly working third party updates - such as registry updates or drivers. Once installed, SP2 will overwrite these, thus creating previously prevented problems.

SP2's threat preventing applications work alongside or conflict with similar yet more effective programs and continuously persist in annoying the user. For example, an effective popup blocker will show a message after successfully blocking a popup. However, SP2's popup blocker will either miss the popup, or appear over the third party popup blockers window, creating an annoyance for the user who has to close two windows. SP2's 'butting in' over other applications is probably fueled by Microsoft's desire to beat or own the competition - in this case, refusing to detect a more effective popular third party popup blocking application due to the fact that it is not owned or related to Microsoft.
In some cases, the user is forced to discard one of these applications, sometimes with SP2 Popup blocker prevailing.

Most components of SP2 are basically simple, yet annoying warnings regarding the download of suspicious files. If you hadn't ordered to download a program, what would make you download a program appearing from no-where?

Overall, SP2 is a trouble causing update that should be avoided if you already have applications that do the job that SP2 says it will. Rather that downloading a 70MB file, consult experienced computers for a better and smaller sized alternative.
1. I have installed Service Pack 2 and have been having all my old computer problems since.

2. It takes more than 20 minutes for SP2 to repair a wireless network connection, rather than a few seconds without it.

3. It took me 2 days to download Service Pack 2 on my Dial-up connection.

4. Service Pack 2 - All your previous computer problems in a 70MB file.

Service Charge

The expectation of one's date, male or female, to receive an additional gift of monetary value for providing sexual favors during or after a date. A Service Charge occurs when money has already expended over the course of a date. For example, after an individual pays for an expensive dinner, concert tickets, or other dating event and his or her date expects an additional gift of monetary value after putting out during or after the date. For example, the expectation flowers, jewelry or other gift be provided the next day for his or her sexual performance.
Shanttai: Hey girlfriend! How was your date with Jerome last night?
Lisa: Oh it was great. He took me to dinner at Morton's and then the Bruno Mars concert!
Shanttai: Oh that sounds expensive!
Lisa: That was just the first part. I tagged his ass for a Service Charge.
Shanttai: So you put out too?
Lisa: Oh yea! He owe's big. I can barely walk today.

A faggy paradigm of common sense design principles. People like to spout off about SOA as if it meant shit - which it don't. The key thing to remember with SOA is that it is very gay. If you have an ounce of sense in your head, you will design your systems to conform with others it will be working with. We don't need 1300 page manifestos explaining how or why we should be doing this.

Don't be a queer, homo, gaylord, fairy, flamer, faggot, fudge packer, poof, ponce, meat-smoker, cock sucker, butt pirate, fruit, queen. It's obvious.
You can't put stars into triangular orifices. You need service oriented architecture for that. You CAN put your dick into another man's ass though, with or without an SOA. But I don't need to tell you that.

Service Industry Night

1. AKA SIN. Usually a Sunday or Monday night where Bars will give drink specials to those who work in the "Service Industry," and by service industry they only mean other Bartenders, Barbacks, Waiters, Waitresses. Customer Service reps, and McDonalds drive thru workers are not considered part of this crowds service industry. SIN only occurs in areas with high concentration of Hipsters.

2.A night in which the weekend bar tender critiques and comments on the drink pouring of the day time or Sunday/Monday bartender.
When you get done from taking customer complaints at your job with Direct TV make sure to stop by Service Industry Night at the bar... O wait somehow I forgot that only bartenders get discount at service industry night.
