n. [XEROX PARC] A small, perhaps struggling outsider; not in the major or
|
|
even the minor leagues. For example, Xerox is not a dirtball company.
|
|
[Outsiders often observe in the PARC culture an institutional arrogance
|
|
which usage of this term exemplifies. The brilliance and scope of PARC's
|
|
contributions to computer science have been such that this superior attitude
|
|
is not much resented.
