An extended explanation usually regarding a social injustice, corporate incompetence/arrogance, or technical folly. The argument is well formed, logical and rational but delivered with staggeringly quick pace and heightened emotion often leaving the ranter breathless and agitated.
Did you hear that, my mom totally went on a molly rant about her mp3 player not playing her songs due to crappy DRM!

A long brethless upsetting rant usually containing references to technology such as copyright protection, electronic privacy, or idiotic companies.
"And you know who's not going to labor under those restrictions? You know who's not even going to notice? The mass-production piracy operations, that's who. You know it, and I know it. So why are you engaged in this nickel-and-dime, small-time thrust-and-parry with me and my friends? Trust me, you're not going to make back the money by dropping viruses onto my PC, because my almighty dollar and I are going elsewhere--and you're probably not going to like where I end up."
Damn, did you just here that Molly Rant?
