Acronym: Willing Suspension of Disbelief.

Readers/watchers of fiction will accept unrealistic premises in a story as long as it is all self-consistent. The story should not break its own rules, and people should behave like people. "You can ask an audience to believe the impossible, but not the improbable."
C'mon, I'm OK with the cowboys riding pterodactyls and the breakdancing robots, but WSoD won't cover them walking into the cellar unarmed AGAIN.

John, you need to clean the glass in your tropical greenhouse a little more often, otherwise you'll get the WSOD!

(Tale of Woe) when there were battledome challengers practically the whole site slowed to matrix speed. and every 2 or 3 pages you would get the error page where it says "error. page could not be found" which got really annoying on the boards. thus, that white page has been named WSoD or White Screen of Death/Doom.

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.
