Internet Explorer

A not surprisingly crappy browser created by Microsoft, apparently for the purpose of making web designers' jobs twice as hard, largely because of Bill Gates' arrogant disdain for any standards but his own.

Shall we continue investing our time in writing "hacks" to make our web pages display properly in Internet Explorer, or shall we just start designing for quality browsers instead?

Vichy Democrats

nickname for contemporary members of the Democratic Party, who have sold out to the increasingly fascist Republican Party just as the Vichy French collaborated with the Nazis

The Vichy Democrats include all Democratic officials who voted to invade Iraq - in other words, just about everyone except Senator Paul Wellstone, who died in a mysterious plane crash.

Microsoft Nicknames

Any of the numerous nicknames applied to one of the most disgusting corporations on the planet, along with its founder, Bill Gates (collectively known as Billysoft).

I'm sick and tired of getting Microshafted, Microscammed and Microfucked by Billysoft (aka Micro$oft M$), from Microsludge (e.g. Windoze, M$ Office, Internet Exploder) to brainless Microslaves and loud-mouthed Microsoft whores, from phony pHilanthropists with bad haircuts to black$Mail! (P.S. These are all examples of Microsoft Nicknames, which offer a powerful clue to GET A MAC.)

Microscam

1. One of many nicknames for Microsoft, a famously corrupt corporation and member of the Seattle Mafia known for screwing its own customers.
2. A scam perpetrated by Microsoft.

1. So what attack on civilization is Microscam plotting this month?
2. Bill Gates' sleazy patent war is one of his most sensational Microscams.

Great Depression II

An increasingly popular term for a global economic crisis generally blamed on corporate corruption based in the U.S., especially under President George W. Bush, though its full impact will occur after Bush's departure from public office. As of January 2009, it isn't certain whether the crisis will equal or even surpass the original Great Depression in severity, though comparing the two events is akin to comparing apples and oranges.

The global economic crisis that many are referring to as Great Depression II has been variously blamed on corporate corruption, globalization, capitalism, George W. Bush and greed and stupidity, all of which are coincidentally associated with Bill Gates, whose public relations team ironically promotes as a philanthropist.

Vista

noun...
1) Microsoft's latest - and perhaps last - major operating system upgrade (unless you count its legendary "service packs" as upgrades)

2) A not so clever copy of Apple Mac's operating system

3) The latest evidence that Bill Gates is losing his grip on sanity

4) A bizarre suicidal move that may be recalled by future generations as "Hasta la Vista, Microsoft"

verb...
1) To self-destruct

2) To copy another software program

noun...
The Seattle Mafia may celebrate Vista, but most people around the world regard it as a mechanical version of George W. Bush.

verb...
Bill Gates: Shall we Vista another Mac program, or shall we try our hand at innovation this time around?
