screensaver

A piece of software, usually something lame that was installed by default with your OS, that takes over when your PC thinks you're not using it any more.

Some screensavers are cute, like Viking Kittens, and some have a purpose, like Make Love Not Spam, but most are just unimaginative lameness that installed by default with sWindles.

Sheikh Ahmed Deedat

A major proponent, and perhaps the author, of the Islamic concept of The J Sickness.
(Source: www.jamaat.net/name/name3.html)

Some Muslims like to share with Christians, recordings of Sheikh Ahmed Deedat preaching together with Baptist pastor Jerry Vines, who had earlier declared that Muhammad was a Γ’Β€Βœdemon-possessed pedophileҀ and that Islam teaches the destruction of all non-Muslims. Between that comment from Vines and Deedat's teaching of The J Sickness, the two of them seemed to have something in common.

focus stealing

One of the primary symptoms of Disobedient Computer Syndrome.

DCS Symptom #2:

2. At least one other task will pop up in front of the application the user is accessing, for the purpose of intercepting the user's keystrokes and mouse clicks while the user is assigning the desired task.

What is it with application programmers that makes them think I want some program running in the background to steal focus every time it completes a subtask? If I wanted to micromanage a task, I'd use a command prompt!
