lobotomy: n. 1. What a hacker subjected to formal management training is said to
have undergone. At IBM and elsewhere this term is used by both hackers and
low-level management; the latter doubtless intend it as a joke.
2. The act of removing the processor from a microcomputer in order
to replace or upgrade it. Some very cheap clone
systems are sold in lobotomized form
— everything but the brain.
