DEC Wars
n. A 1983 Usenet posting by Alan Hastings and Steve Tarr spoofing the Star
Wars movies in hackish terms. Some years later, ESR (disappointed by
Hastings and Tarr's failure to exploit a great premise more thoroughly)
posted a 3-times-longer complete rewrite called Unix WARS ; the two are
often confused.
