    warez is the downloading of illegal software, videos, games, applications on the net.

    So warez is a term, rather than a thing, right?

    How do you pronounce warez?

    I know some people who say "wares", but I say "war-ez".

    Of course it is.

    Trolling: Posting of deliberately inflammatory remarks with the intention of inciting a "flame war" ( basically annoying people into having an online fight with you).

    Flaming: An unneccessarily abusive tirade often as a result of someone's trolling but just as often directed at newbies for asking questions the flamer knew the answer to ages ago. Or something that is in a FAQ somewhere.

    Crack: The bit between the roundy, fleshy bits of your bum. Also a small program designed to circumvent security features on a piece of software, say to allow you play a game when you don't have the original CD, or to get around registering a piece of software.

    Hope that helps.
