screen scrape

To get data from a screen like a web page or mainframe (green screen) using a program. The program must parse the web page source (HTML) and look for hints, like field label tags. For mainframes is much easier since the screen is just a flat ASCII string.

Screen scrape eBay or Amazon pages and collect product offerings and prices.

screen reader

a computer program that allows a blind or visually impaired person to use the machine by interpreting the text that appears on the screen and transforming it into a voice that can be heard through the speaker.

anny: tomorrow i will go to miami and visit my best friend. i will write an email to her tonight. jim: how can you write an email if you're blind? anny: well, i have a screen reader installed on my computer, so i can listen to everything i type and every message coming from the system.

Screening

To stand in front of someone who is trying to shot or walk in a direction in a video game. Occurs with teammates because in many video games your bullets and abilities will not travel through teammates to hit enemies, but enemies projectiles will travel through both your teammate and you. In games which punish players for damaging teammates it can be used as a type of trolling It can be done unintentionally, but the person being screened almost never benefits from it.

Bro wtf, stop screening me. We would've won if my dumbass teammate wasn't screening me

green-screening

Green-screening occurs when a company pretends to be socially responsible despite obvious and clearly irresponsible practices.

For example, British Petroleum and Exxon Mobile are two of the dirtiest, environmentally destructive companies on the planet. But they air commercials designed to counteract this image.

Exxon Mobile is just green-screening! They aren't exploring alternative energy like they claim!

Blue Screened

v. looking at porn and causing the computer to crash. 90% of all blue screen occurences are a result of fapping research.

I was fapping with about 37 windows open and blue screened. You know computers, help a brotha out?
Only if you don't touch me and I'll be using my own keyboard.
