nVIDIA is a computer company well known for their GeForce line of graphics chips (they only make the chips and sell it to card vendors) and nForce line of high performance chipsets. nVIDIA had the reputation of being the leader in the graphics section, although their rival ATi has quickly closed the gap in recent years and now the two companies are locked in a never ending graphics war, with both sides briefly getting an upper hand here and there.
nVIDIA fanboy: ATi sucks. ATi fanboy: nVIDIA sucks.
id software's latest game (and engine). Doom 3's graphics are probably one of the best for it's generation - the only catch is that you'll need a monster of a computer to run it. But all those great graphics are pointless since you can't see shit. Doom 3's monsters are also said to be very scary - if you could see them.
Person A: I don't think my computer can handle Doom 3. Person B: Don't worry, just turn off your monitor.
A gaming platform made by Valve software that can auto update games and has a built in IM client (Friends). Despite having a very buggy release, it is now a solid system, although idiots who have nothing better to do still whine since it crashes on their spyware infested PC, or their warez copy of Half-Life no longer works.
Person A: Steam sucks! It never works! Person B: Get rid of that 2GB of spyware then FFS! Person A: OMG! Steam works now! Person B: Duh...
A growing craze mostly popular with groups of chavs, especially in the London area, where they single out a complete stranger and smack them on the head, usually whilst recording it on a video phone, then do a runner. The victim is almost always totally unaware, and they use it to their advantage so the vicim doesn't have a chance to grab the slapper and beat the living shit out of them.
Happy slappers are more evidence that humanity is either doomed or splitting.
The proper way to express how you don't give a crap about something - you really don't care about something and it's impossible to not care any more. The common but incorrect variant "could care less" (which would technically imply that you do care about something) is widely used because of either a translation mistake into English, or those who blindly use phrases without taking a moment to understand their actual meaning.
Person A: A company just got sued for patent infringement! Person B: *yawn* Oh really? I couldn't care less.
WMD - Acronym (Weapon of Mass Destruction): An implement of war utilized to inflict mass casualties. These weapons typically fall into three categories: Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear. Chemical Weapon - Using a caustic, non-biological agent to harm living entities. Biological Weapon - Using a living organism (disease, virii, etc.) to harm living entities. Nuclear Weapon - Utilizing an uncontrolled nuclear fission reaction (atomic bomb) and/or radioactive materials ("dirty bomb") to cause destruction to living entities and inanimate objects. Needless to say, the production, possession, trade, and use of WMDs is and will remain a topic of contention and controversy.
A "Neutron Bomb" is a fictional WMD. In theory, it uses a powerful (so far fictional) agent "Red Mercury" to cause a massive flux of energy. It causes no concussive blast, but annihilates all living organisms within a large radius.
Microsoft's attempt to dominate the Internet by integrating this poor excuse of a browser with every Windows OS, although this was deemed illegal, they made some bullshit up about it being a core part of Windows. So in the end, they integrated this POS into Windows. IE is buggy, has many security holes, is slow, supports ActiveX so websites can install their XXX dialers on our systems, and finally, it's not standards compliant, so 80%+ web pages have sloppy HTML which doesn't work with standards compliant browsers, only IE. How convenient.
Internet Explorer is the most COMMON browser, but NOT the most popular.
