Is the Hacker's Dictionary in print and where can > one find it??? The Hacker's Dictionary is really a de-mystified version of the "Jargon file" which was kept online somewhere. My original Jargon file is from 1977 or so. This came out of MIT and Stanford. Unfortunately, I no longer have an online copy :-( My copy of the Hacker's Dictionary is from 1983. I don't think that there have been any new editions yet (see below). Bib data: Hacker's Dictionary Guy Steele (and others) Harper and Row, 1983 ISBN 0-06-091082-8 There is apparently a project underway to revise the hackers dictionary and produce a second edition.
