 The New Hacker's Dictionary
The Jargon File (hereafter referred to as `jargon-1' or `the File') was begun by Raphael Finkel at Stanford in 1975.
There are doubtless rich veins of jargon yet untapped in the scientific computing, graphics, and networking hacker communities; also in numerical analysis, computer architectures and VLSI design, language design, and many other related fields.
The original Jargon File was a collection of hacker jargon from technical cultures including the MIT AI Lab, the Stanford AI lab (SAIL), and others of the old ARPANET AI/LISP/PDP-10 communities including Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN), Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU), and Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).

Unlike many mega-corporate-monster products, Jargon Software's design concepts are simple and easy to understand.
Mobile applications developed with Jargon Software technology work efficiently at slow connection speeds, enable both online and offline operation, and minimize both initial deployment costs and ongoing support costs due to our zero-deployment technology.

 The Jargon Lexicon 4.4.6 (October 25, 2003): quantifiers
The binary peta- and exa- loadings, though well established, are not in jargon use either — yet.
‘Femto’ and ‘atto’ (which, interestingly, derive not from Greek but from Danish) have not yet acquired jargon loadings, though it is easy to predict what those will be once computing technology enters the required realms of magnitude (however, see attoparsec).
The prefixes zetta-, yotta-, zepto-, and yocto- have been included in these tables purely for completeness and giggle value; they were adopted in 1990 by the

Jargon link names; for HTML authors who want to refer to the Jargon file and Biographica.
Although it is the eventual intention that other documents can make references to definitions in the Jargon file, it is probably not advisable to do so until the issues of how best to divide the file up are resolved.

 Chinook Jargon
Chinook Jargon is a language with a simplified grammar that draws its vocabulary from several languages.
In this way, there arose a phonetically simplified version of Chinook Jargon that did not contain sounds that were unfamiliar or difficult for speakers of European languages.
They argue that native people did not need a trade language like Chinook Jargon because so many of them could speak other native languages and so could serve as diplomats, traders, and interpreters.

 Chapter 3. Revision History
The Jargon File (hereafter referred to as ‘jargon-1’ or ‘the File’) was begun by Raphael Finkel at Stanford in 1975.
The original Jargon File was a collection of hacker jargon from technical cultures including the MIT AI Lab, the Stanford AI lab (SAIL), and others of the old ARPANET AI/LISP/PDP-10 communities including Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN), Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU), and Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).
This new version casts a wider net than the old Jargon File; its aim is to cover not just AI or PDP-10 hacker culture but all the technical computing cultures wherein the true hacker-nature is manifested.

 White River Journal: Tenas Wawa - Chinook Jargon
The Jargon uses some words from the Chinook language, but not its complex structure or full vocabulary.
This is one of the best illustrations of just how limited the Jargon's vocabulary is compared to a full language.
When Lewis and Clark spoke English to Concomly, Chief of the Lower Chinooks, in 1805, he replied "waket commatux" ("I don't understand".) Apparently he hoped that these strange newcomers at least spoke the Jargon, if not his own language.

 The UVic Writer's Guide: Jargon
Many of these new words are necessary in their original contexts, but they have also begun to creep into areas where they are unappreciated.
Avoid the frequent use (not "utilization") of "ize" words; they are pretentious, and there are probably simpler words that accomplish the same task.
Jargon is unnecessarily technical language which provides polysyllabic replacements for perfectly adequate simple words.

Often the substitution will be made in such a way as to slip in a standard jargon word: Dr. Dobb's Journal => Dr. Frob's Journal; creeping featurism => feeping creaturism; Margaret Jacks Hall => Marginal Hacks Hall.
Which connotation a given HACK-token has depends in similarly profound ways on the context.

 UMEC's Jargon server
This is a frontend to the program jarg, which is a small utility to manipulate the Jargon File with.
The Unix `dd(1)' was designed with a weird, distinctly non-Unixy keyword option syntax reminiscent of IBM System/360 JCL (which had an elaborate DD `Dataset Definition' specification for I/O devices); though the command filled a need, the interface design was clearly a prank.
The jargon usage is now very rare outside Unix sites and now nearly obsolete even there, as `dd(1)' has been deprecated for a long time (though it has no exact replacement).

What about calling a computer a “machine.” If you look the word up in the dictionary, you'll see just how inappropriate it is.

Jargon might be meaningful when you speak and yet not make sense in the same written sentence.
