Lobotomy




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 "lobotomised" form - everything but the brain.
