Product Description

This edition of the hacker's own lexicon includes more than 100 new entries and updates and revises 200 more. Historically and etymologically more detailed than its predecessor, it supplies additional background on existing entries and clarifies the origins of several important jargon terms (overturning a few longstanding folk etymologies).

5.0 out of 5 stars This is more than just a simple dictionary..., 4 April 1999

By A Customer

"The New Hacker's Dictionary" gives the reader a good idea what the Internet was before its explosion in popularity in 1994. Not only does this book describes today's and yesterday's jargon used on the 'net, it also helps the reader understand the history and the developpment of the Network of all networks. Get it for an understanding of technically terms, slang-speak, historical facts and even for a good laugh.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Great!, 12 Dec 2001

By A Customer

I did my A-Level English Coursework on this kind of thing, and afterwards bought this book. My coursework got an A, but this book is a tuna to my cousework's whitebait!!! I love it and it means I don't have to persuade my parents to let me online whenever I want to find an "appropriate" phrase for something!!! A tad boring occasionally, but the good bits out-number the bad bits by about 100-1! Some neat stories in the back too!

5.0 out of 5 stars READ THIS BOOK, 30 Jun 2001

By	programmerare@hotmail.com (Sweden) - See all my reviews

This book is very worth reading. It teaches you all the computer Jargong and mythology/legends in a concise and good way. Many parts made me laugh,or what do you say about "bogo meter" and "waving a dead chicken".

One of the best books I ever have read.

(My email address means programmer, that was taken)
