v. To design or implement a tool equivalent to an existing one or part of one, with the implication that doing so is silly or a waste of time. This is often a valid criticism. On the other hand, automobiles don't use wooden rollers, and some kinds of wheel have to be reinvented many times before you get them right. On the third hand, people reinventing the wheel do tend to come up with the moral equivalent of a trapezoid with an offset axle. v.

/ki:/ , n. [Case Western Reserve University] Yet another hackish parody religion (see also Church of the SubGenius , Discordianism ). In the mid-70s, the canonical Introduction to Programming courses at CWRU were taught in Algol, and student exercises were punched on cards and run on a Univac 1108 system using a homebrew operating system named CHI. The religion had no doctrines and but one ritual: whenever the worshiper noted that a digital clock read 11:08, he or she would recite the phrase It is 11:08; ABS, ALPHABETIC, ARCSIN, ARCCOS, ARCTAN. The last five words were the first five functions in the appropriate chapter of the Algol manual; note the special pronunciations /obz/ and /arksin/ rather than the more common /ahbz/ and /arksi:n/. Using an alarm clock to warn of 11:08's arrival was considered harmful. /ki:/ , n.

@ -7492,7 +7489,7 @@ n. Email addresses included in, or comprising the entirety of, a Usenet message
/spamblok/ , n. [poss. by analogy to sunblock] Text inserted in an email address to render it invalid and thus useless to spammers. For example, the address jrandom@hacker.org might be transformed to jrandom@NOSPAM.hacker.org. Adding spamblock to an address is often referred to as munging it (see munge ). This evasion tactic depends on the fact that most spammers collect names with some sort of address harvester on volumes too high to de-mung by hand, but individual humans reading an email message can readily spot and remove a spamblock in the From address. Note: This is not actually a very effective tactic, and may already be passing out of use in early 1999 after about two years of life. In both mail and news, it's essentially impossible to keep a smart address harvester from mining out the addresses in the message header and trace lines. Therefore the only people who can be protected are third parties mentioned by email address in the message not a common enough case to interest spammers. /spamblok/ , n.

*** spamhaus *** spamhaus
spamhows , n. Pejorative term for an internet service provider that permits or even encourages spam mailings from its systems. The plural is spamhausen. There is a web page devoted to tracking spamhausen. The most notorious of the spamhausen was Sanford Wallace's Cyber Promotions Inc., shut down by a lawsuit on 16 October 1997. The anniversary of the shutdown is celebrated on Usenet as Spam Freedom Day, but lesser imitators of the Spamford still infest various murky corners of the net. Since prosecution of spammers became routine under the junk-fax laws and statues specifically targeting spam, spamhausen have declined in relative importance; today, hit-and-run attacks by spammers using relay rape and throwaway accounts on reputable ISPs seem to account for most of the flow. spamhows , n.
