The documents in this directory are not commodities. They're not for sale.
They are not part of the "information economy." Some of them were part
of the commercial economy once, in the sense that I got paid for writing
some of them, but they've since been liberated. You didn't have to pay
any money to get them. If you did pay anything to see this stuff, you've
been ripped off. If you didn't get this data for free, send me some e-mail
and tell me about it. Information *wants* to be free. And I know where
you can get a lot more
. This stuff don't "belong" to you. A lot of it, like the
Internet electronic zines I've included, doesn't "belong" to me, either. It
belongs to the emergent realm of alternative information economics, for
whatever *that's* worth. You don't have any right to make this stuff part of
the conventional flow of commerce. Let them be part of the flow of
knowledge: there's a difference. Don't sell them. And don't alter the text,
either; that would be a hopelessly way-dork move. Just make
more, and give them to whoever might want or need them.

B4B0 jargon

JARGON LINGUISTE
La linguistique est une discipline scientifique s’intéressant à l’étude du langage. Elle se distingue de la grammaire, dans la mesure où elle n'est pas prescriptive mais descriptive. La prescription correspond à la norme, c'est-à-dire ce qui est jugé correct linguistiquement par les grammairiens

We've already seen that hackers often coin jargon by overgeneralizing grammatical rules. This is one aspect of a more general fondness for form-versus-content language jokes that shows up particularly in hackish writing. One correspondent reports that he consistently misspells ‘wrong’ as ‘worng’. Others have been known to criticize glitches in Jargon File drafts by observing (in the mode of Douglas Hofstadter) “This sentence no verb”, or “Too repetetetive”, or “Bad speling”, or “Incorrectspa cing.” Similarly, intentional spoonerisms are often made of phrases relating to confusion or things that are confusing; ‘dain bramage’ for ‘brain damage’ is perhaps the most common (similarly, a hacker would be likely to write “Excuse me, I'm cixelsyd today”, rather than “I'm dyslexic today”). This sort of thing is quite common and is enjoyed by all concerned.

w00t
An interjection similar to “Yay!”, as in: “w00t!!! I just got a raise!” Often used for small victories the speaker dies not expect to be of special interest to anyone else. Some claim this is a bastardization of “root”, the highest level of access to a system (particularly UNIX), originated by script kiddies as a 133tspeak equivalent of “root”, and said as an exclamation upon gaining root access. Others claim it originated in the Everquest multiplayer game as an abbreviation of “wonderful loot”. Still other claim it on originated on IRC as the “Ewok victory cheer”] Adj. w00table has the sense of “cool” or “nifty”. This is one of the few leet-speak coinages to have crossed over into non-ironic use among hackers.
Unix brain damage
Prev U Next
Unix brain damage: n.
Something that has to be done to break a network program (typically a mailer) on a non-Unix system so that it will interoperate with Unix systems. The hack may qualify as Unix brain damage if the program conforms to published standards and the Unix program in question does not. Unix brain damage happens because it is much easier for other (minority) systems to change their ways to match non-conforming behavior than it is to change all the hundreds of thousands of Unix systems out there.

An example of Unix brain damage is a kluge in a mail server to recognize bare line feed (the Unix newline) as an equivalent form to the Internet standard newline, which is a carriage return followed by a line feed. Such things can make even a hardened jock weep.
