Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Jargon File (also called The Hacker's Jargon File) is a dictionary of computer slang which was originally in plaintext format and is now available as HTML. It also includes a lot of computer hacker folklore, both in the appendixes and as part of the main text of the entries. The file originated in 1975, at a time when computers were only used by a few specialists. It was originally published in book form as The Hacker's Dictionary in 1983, edited by Guy L. Steele Jr. |
