read. Used to question an unbelieved quote, as in &#8220;<span class="quote">Did you read that
in <i class="citetitle">Datamation?</i></span>&#8221;. It used to publish something
hackishly funny every once in a while, like the original paper on
<a href="../C/COME-FROM.html"><i class="glossterm">COME FROM</i></a> in 1973, and Ed Post's <i class="citetitle">Real
Programmers Don't Use Pascal</i> ten years later, but for a long
time after that it was much more exclusively
<a href="../S/suit.html"><i class="glossterm">suit</i></a>-oriented and boring. Following a change of
editorship in 1994, Datamation briefly tried for more the technical content
and irreverent humor that marked its early days, but this did not
last.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="dark-side-hacker.html">Prev</a><EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../D.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><EFBFBD><a accesskey="n" href="DAU.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">dark-side hacker<65></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"><EFBFBD>DAU</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
