1. datamation
A magazine that many hackers assume all suits
read. Used to question an unbelieved quote, as in “Did you read that
in Datamation?”. It used to publish something
hackishly funny every once in a while, like the original paper on
COME FROM in 1973, and Ed Post's Real
Programmers Don't Use Pascal ten years later, but for a long
time after that it was much more exclusively
suit-oriented and boring. Following a change of
editorship in 1994, Datamation briefly tried for more the technical content
and irreverent humor that marked its early days, but this did not
last.
