Focus on The Family

A christian organization based in Colorado Springs that was founded by Dr.James Dobson. When their massive "complex" was built, they "forgot" to pay one of their workers, resulting in an armed stand off. Typical of other large christian organizations based in CS (see also: New Life Church) they mouth the words of peace while teaching hate and intolerance. Dr. Dobson has been featured on various national news programs usually spreading his narrow minded views on (pick one or more) homosexuality, atheism, how satan is real, drug use, pre-marital sex, how the republicans are truly the blessed of god, how democrats are spawn of satan, pro-life, how killing abortion doctors is ok etc. etc. Focus on the family is responsible for pumping millions into republican coffers, doing slander ads against their opponents, all as a "non-profit" company. Like most such organizations their sprawling compound is located on prime real estate and their governing board pulls down more than most corporate CEOs. While their workers are your standard disfunctional underpaid religious zealot, who believes that it's ok to beat the wife, ignore the kids, have an affair etc. as long they go to church on Sunday and drag their family along, they will be completely forgiven. Thus a vicious circle continues. (see hypocrite)

focus stealing

A very annoying feature in windows where an application foribly brings itself to the front (aka steals the focus). Can also be when you're filling out a form on a website and what part of it you've selected to enter text into suddenly changes.

A common side effect of this is when you're typing a message to someone in a messenger program and another contact messages you. In some programs, it steals the focus and half of what you were typing to the first person appears in the second persons window.

Another common side effect is when you're in a game and (as an example) you're anti virus program suddenly pops up a message saying you need to update your definitions. It's also known to happen with other programs that use pop up messages to inform you of updates.

It's also known to happen when you're surfing a page and a pop-up advertisment brings itself to the front, sometimes causing someone to accidently click on it instead of on the page they intended.

Finally, another form of focus stealing can be when you're filling out a webform and (for example) are filling out your name and suddenly the cursor moves to the e-mail field without any input from you.
A gamer is gaming when suddenly the screen goes black and he find himself on the desktop looking at a 'update this software please' pop-up.

Gamer: Damn focus stealing!
