We could always use Ice-T's favorite way to classifying these relationships:
Pimp/Ho
(Ice-T says everyone is either a pimp or a ho, sometimes both depending
upon context and situation, and it's always important to know which one
you are)
I like the idea of KDE "IO-Whores". Or, how about "We need to
bitch-slap the Syslog-Whore because I changed its config file".
Think that'd be less offensive?
