Valve Anti-Cheat. Basically, it's a program that is like a virus scanner only for hacks, if they detect hacks on server joins and whatnot, you will be banned within a few days, hours, or weeks.
Players who have been banned always claim they didn't cheat, or their brother or friend put the hacks on, basically trying to get it out. There have only been less than 10 people actually unbanned from VAC before. Anyone who is banned will only be banned from VAC secure servers, but can still play on unsecured ones. Every game that uses VAC will be inaccessible (you won't be able to play on VAC secure servers).
It's often criticized as a way to make money from Valve to get a new account and games. Accounts that have been banned payed up to thousands on games before, but over 1 hack they loose all.
Many times VAC isn't updated to the most recent hacks, private hacks still exist, and are harder to detect.
VAC has certainly busted many cheaters, but some still get by.
Noob: OMG! Me is VAC banned! WTF! vavle u just want my monies! I didtn hack!
Me: God shut up. We all know you hacked, headshots 24/7 isn't easy, but you managed to do it. Go away.

A nice little program that basic people use to get the job done. Exports a low quality film, usually plagued with stupid white text on blue background. Those who just want to "get the job done" use this tool, while the rest of us would desire something else such as Sony Vegas, or Adobe After Effects.
Windows Movie Maker is good for those little projects where you don't care how good it looks.

The most kick-ass first person shooter made in history. Want to get inside a building, but that wall is blocking? Simple, blow it up! This game is awesome, as everything in the environment is DESTROYABLE. You can blow up houses, blow holes in walls, not to mention it has a fairly entertaining single player mode. It's main awesomeness is featured online, where you can keep ranks, and even take screenshots and they will auto-upload to EA's servers for FREE. It uses the new Frostbite engine, allowing people to mess with the environment, such as also blowing craters into the ground, giving your teammates cover. It features the old conquest mode, as well as the new and popular Gold Rush mode, in which you must either defend or attack gold crates. Now you do not have to worry about idiots hiding all the time, as you can blow away their cover, leaving them for dead.
Person 1: Hey, I'm going to play Call of Duty 4, you in?
Person 2: Why? So some idiot can hide behind a wall all day? No thank you.
Person 1: What are you talking about? All games are like that!
Person 2: Not Battlefield Bad company, you can blow apart walls with awesome weapons!
Person 1: Be right back. *goes and shoots Call of Duty 4*
Person 2: Going to go get Battlefield Bad Company now?
Person 1: Hell yea!

A decent comedian who has had an unfortunate amount of haters due to allegations that he stole jokes and whatnot, despite there being no sufficient evidence of him doing so.
Some comedian who was relatively unknown before this incident occurred by the name of "Lewis C.K." came out of the woods, and stated there were similarities in jokes. While this may be true, the man has no dates to back up when he said these things, or even evidence they are the same.
Dane Cook is known for his extremely crazy behavior on stage. His wackiness adds to the mood of most of his jokes. He uses observational humor, usually stating things nobody ever really noticed about the small things in life.
Dane Cook has the reputation of being one of the most hated comedians by fellow comedians and by many other people. This is due to the fact that he has been accused of joke stealing, as stated above. He's one of those people you can either watch, or just ignore.
Dane Cook: Did you ever get a really itchy asshole?
Louis C.K.: This is sure funny, I might just come out and say I first said this joke just so I can achieve some fame, despite my jokes being extremely boring and mediocre.

It's simply the technical name (strand) of the Swine Flu. Instead of calling it the Swine Flu, the idiots at the CDC (Center for Disease Control) had to name it something to make it sound more extreme.
Basically H1N1 (Swine Flu) is just like the ordinary flu, only lacks a vaccination. TamiFlu works fine on it.
CDC People: The Swine Flu will no be called...*booming voice* H1N1! This is because we think half of the world studies viral strands.
Me: Why?

A song that originated by Buckwheat Boyz.
It's first major hype came from a crappy animation someone made of a dancing banana (which is totally irrelevant to peanut butter and jelly, unless you put banana's on your peanut butter and jelly).
It became so popular Family Guy had Brian come in with a banana suit on singing the song to Peter, which also became really popular.
The song became such a hype that even local Pittsburgh radio stations and surrounding radio stations even started playing it every 15 minutes.
Now it's an overused song and animation that is seldom seen, unless you find one person on a board or site that has the stupid animation as an avatar.
Seriously people, this song is no longer funny, stop playing it, it was about 5 years ago, it's time to move on.
Noob: It's peanut butter jelly time! (Posts dancing banana animation.)
Me: NO! It's NOT peanut butter jelly time. The early 2000's called, they want their crappy song back.
