Rate My Professors 

A site for college students to assist others into choosing professors for their classes based on difficulty of the course, teaching methods presented, and (occasionally) attractiveness. Many reviews are helpful and outline the professors lecturing style and how to prepare for his/her exams. Others are not helpful and contain reviews from disgruntled students who expected an A just for showing up.
Helpful Rate My Professors Review: "Be prepared to work! I took Prof. Johnson for Linear Algebra last semester. He is tough, because he wants you to learn how to prove theorems rather than memorizing them and expects you to show steps for reducing a matrix into row echelon form on exams. That being said, his lecture notes are very organized, drops the lowest exam grade at the end of the semester, and is always available to meet up with you after class.

Unhelpful Rate my Professors Review: Mr. Johnson is the worst professor ever! I do all the homework, and His exams are too hard. Not even a graduate student couldn't solve the questions on the exam!! I was a Straight A-student, now I have a 2.1 GPA all because of this prof. Avoid!!

Rate My Professors 

ratemyprofessors.com is a website that many college students will use in order to know what professors' classes they should try and sign up for, and which they should avoid, so they can get the college professors that best fit their learning style and the amount of work they're willing to complete. It is also used by many former students who just feel like voicing complaints towards whomever they are writing reviews for, whether or not said professor is actually competent at performing their job.
I used Rate My Professors to write a review for a math TA who really helped me better understand the material from class.

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
