|
n. Another voluntary subculture having a very heavy overlap with hackerdom;
|
|
most hackers read SF and/or fantasy fiction avidly, and many go to cons (SF
|
|
conventions) or are involved in fandom-connected activities such as the
|
|
Society for Creative Anachronism. Some hacker jargon originated in SF
|
|
fandom; see defenestration, great-wall, cyberpunk, h, IMHO, mundane,
|
|
neep-neep, Real Soon Now. Additionally, the jargon terms cowboy,
|
|
cyberspace, de-rezz, go flatline, ice, phage, virus, wetware, wirehead,
|
|
and worm originated in SF stories.
