A computer program that causes your modem to dial a number to a computer server. This is meant to allow the caller to access/download files from the server.
Almost all dialers are for pornography. They may claim to be free, but always go to long-distance telephone numbers. These numbers are usually equivalent to 1-900 numbers in the U.S. (the numbers vary from county to country). The caller can end up paying a ridiculous amount of money in phone bills.
After using a dialer to download movies of Traci Lords, Jim Bob was shocked to find out his phone bill was $8,000.
A Tone Dialer is a tool used by almost all phreakers that phreak the pay phone systems. This is a tool that will produce tones automatically for you to play back into the phone system. These dialed tones may then be recorded onto a cassete or mp3 player and then later used at the pay phone system to get a free call. There are many of these dialers that are now available as software and some are becoming available for the Palm OS.
My tone dialer can produce tones from .00001Hz all the way to 100,000,000,0 Hz

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
