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.
