Technology that may re-introduce the concept of hands-free conversation to a whole new generation.
Like all new technologies, it has the potential for evil as well as for good.

Skype
To use the software Skype--or a similar, competing program--to call someone, much in the manner that to IM is to use a chat program to have a text-based conversation.
the antichrist!
skype is another evil company like google. everybody uses it, everybody likes it, everybody gets observed. if you have skype on your computer, it's not your computer anymore but skypes computer. they can see what you write in your chats and they can hear what you say in your calls. they know where you live, the know who you are, they know your interests and if they wanted to fuck you up, they could do it easily.
BUT, skype is also a very handy programm and as long as you dont try shit like h4x1ng the pentagon nothing will happen to you.

Skype
Derogatory term for a person with red hair.
A pseudo-racial slur.
Originally from the Latin: scipe, meaning to have red hair and be developmentally delayed. Springing from early skirmishes between the Gallic forces with red hair and the Romans who were unaccustomed to laying the beatdown on such poor troops.
