Played in the halls of schools and on the walls of BBSes, the Game is an early
cognitovirus that has drawn ire for its unwinnable nature; nobody who knows of
the Game has won, yet nobody who's won has ever known of the Game.

This file, jargon.txt, was maintained on MIT-AI for many years, before being
published by Guy Steele and others as the Hacker's Dictionary. Many years after
the original book went out of print, Eric Raymond picked it up, updated it and
republished it as the New Hacker's Dictionary. Unfortunately, in the process,
he essentially destroyed what held it together...

The Hacker's Dictionary, also known as JARGON.TXT or the "jargon file", was a
glossary of informal terms used by Lisp hackers at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology. Then it was commandeered by Eric Raymond and turned into a
glossary of informal or formal terms used by Lisp or Unix hackers or suits
wherever an Internet connection or a bookstore with a computing section can be
found.
