1. n. Spiciness. 2. vt. To make food spicy. 3. vt. To make someone suffer by
|
|
making his food spicy. (Most hackers love spicy food. Hot-and-sour soup is
|
|
considered wimpy unless it makes you wipe your nose for the rest of the
|
|
meal.) See ped. 4. vt. To modify, usually to correct; esp. used when the
|
|
action is performed with a debugger or binary patching tool. Also implies
|
|
surgical precision. Zap the debug level to 6 and run it again. In the IBM
|
|
mainframe world, binary patches are applied to programs or to the OS with a
|
|
program called super , whose file name is IMASPZAP (possibly contrived from
|
|
I M A SuPerZAP). 5. vt. To erase or reset. 6. To fry a chip with static
|
|
electricity. Uh oh I think that lightning strike may have ped the disk
|
|
controller.
