For example, I say, "Come on you son of a wh0re" when I'm waiting for something to download.

When "the thing" isn't working in a proper and speediest possible manner, I throw death threats at it. I promise to deliver the most horrible and gruesome death imaginable to the human mind and go into a great detail describing them to "it". If this doesn't solve the problem it's time to take the big guns out. I let "it" know that there are many younger, slimmer, better looking and more service oriented models out there and how they'd just love to start a master-slave relationship with me.

So far my threats have been enough because "it" hasn't checked my bluff! Hey, the newer models are quite expensive to acquire! You know, first you have to get this accessory and then... it never stops!
