A sprightly lexicon.--William Safire "New York Times Magazine "
My current favorite is 'wave a dead chicken.' New to you? You've waved a dead chicken when you've gone through motions to satisfy onlookers (suits?), even when you're sure it's all futile. Raymond's book exhilarates... "The New Hacker's Dictionary," though, is not for skimming. Allot, each day, a half hour, severely timed if you hope to get any work done.--Hugh Kenner "Byte "
This third edition of 'The New Hackers Dictionary' mainly deepens rather than broadens the lexicon; there are about a hundred new entries, but many more changes adding new meanings, background, and etymological history. In the age of the 'information superhighway' this book is more relevant, and more needed, than ever before.
