hacked off
|
|
|
|
adj. [analogous to pissed off ] Said of system administrators who have
|
|
become annoyed, upset, or touchy owing to suspicions that their sites have
|
|
been or are going to be victimized by crackers, or used for inappropriate,
|
|
technically illegal, or even overtly criminal activities. For example,
|
|
having unreadable files in your home directory called worm , lockpick , or
|
|
goroot would probably be an effective (as well as impressively obvious and
|
|
stupid) way to get your sysadmin hacked off at you. It has been pointed out
|
|
that there is precedent for this usage in U.S. Navy slang, in which officers
|
|
under discipline are sometimes said to be in hack and one may speak of
|
|
hacking off the C.O..
