lobotomy
n. 1. What a hacker subjected to formal management training is said to have
undergone. At IBM and elsewhere this term is used by both hackers and
low-level management; the latter doubtless intend it as a joke. 2. The act
of removing the processor from a microcomputer in order to replace or
upgrade it. Some very cheap clone systems are sold in lobotomized form
everything but the brain.
