Saseko...

[NaGeL]

If saseko means whore then why was she named that inthe first place?

[Tsubashi]

Hmm... Perhaps?

[NaGeL]

i dont get it.....^^"

[Tsubashi]

2k-tan is referring to the wholly annoying XP activation function, designed to decrease piracy. While 2k-tan requires a CD key, XP is the first to require internet or telephone activation.

This link to Wiki would better explain it better:

Wiki: Criticism of Windows XP - Product Activation

Not to mention that XP has to phone home back to Microsoft to confirm that the OS is a legal copy.

[NaGeL]

Does that means thet Xp-tan is Bill Gates whore?!?!?! O_o
OMG...

[Silentbob]

It's not poor XP-tans fault, she can't help how they made her.    

[NaGeL]

yeah....but we still like arent we? ^_^

[Darknight_88]

I'm no expert, but aside the activation issue, the whole saseko thing may be related in part to the looks of XP-tan (the character, not the OS)...which are often criticized by a certain pig ¬¬

[Pizza354]

wow....I never Saseko meant that...

[Bella]

I didn't know that Saseko meant that, either O__o

Maybe I will call her XP-sama from now on (but Saseko does go with Homeko...)

Is that an actual insult, or is it more like a title...eg, calling someone an actual w%^&e vs. "a Jezebel"...

[C-Chan]

Sounds more like an insult adapted as a term of endearment, not unlike how in Mexican culture a husband may call his wife [in Spanish] "gorda", or literally "fatty".  It's a humorous term of endearment that (at least as far as I've seen) is still acceptable (and in fact was used in the Spanish dubbing of Shrek).  

But trying that in the States (AND in English) will likely initiate some good ol' fashioned Domestic Violence.  ^^;

*starts coming up with possible names*

- Kei
- Misato
- Sheeta
- Nausicaä

5 potatoes, eh?

Kei - Hand Maid May
Misato - NGE
Sheeta - Laputa: Castle in the Sky
Nausicaä - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind


Anyways, I do believe we have successfully answered the OPs question thus leaving us without an answerable topic, ne? Unless, of course, someone has an alternate meaning?

Oh, yes What a wonderful idea...

So we are falling from the frying pan into the fire...  ;012

i.e. we are falling from the Saseko into the Laputa, which all this implies into all Spanish Spoken "Se habla Español" countries...

We both C-Chan and me know what "la puta" means in spanish... ROTFL  ;011  ;012 ;088

OMG...

Yes! Tsubashi and 95Direct wants politely let you aware of the fact that XP needs to phone Microsoft to require "activation", so she is truly a "call girl"...  ;015  ;006

By the way... In other countries Saseko is not that bad...

In german language SaSeKo it is a short for:

Sach- und Selbstkompetenz

that is in english:

"Special and self authority"

Where "Kompetenz" in german means something like "Skills", "Authority", "Know how", "Competence", "Capability"...

(I hope I translated it well, thanks to Google, and some little german I know)

For example: "Sach- und Selbstkompetenz in der Sportlehrerausbildung"

"Special and self authority in the sport teacher training"

LOL! ROTFL!

[Silentbob]

I would wager Darknight_88 knows as well, and yours truly. (I lived for 5 years in Spain   )

Personally, I call the OS-tans by their original names, just for the sake of clarity and for the benefit of the uninitiated.

Yeah, In Mexico you can call people with certain derogatory terms without problems. Terms as: gorda (fatty), vieja (old woman) or negro (Black).
Of course, they can also be used and understood in a derogatory way, but it depends on the context, grade of relation (family,friend,stranger) and tone of voice.


...
I actually doubt that "saseko" is used as a term of endearment, looking at XP-tan reaction in this page
Personally, I think there's a huge difference between calling someone "fat" and calling someone a whore >_>


The only way to be sure would be to ask in Nijiura's /os/ or 2chan
