1. hacking x for y
[ITS] Ritual phrasing of part of the information which ITS made
publicly available about each user. This information (the INQUIR record)
was a sort of form in which the user could fill out various fields. On
display, two of these fields were always combined into a project
description of the form “Hacking X for Y” (e.g.,
“Hacking perceptrons for Minsky”). This form of description
became traditional and has since been carried over to other systems with
more general facilities for self-advertisement (such as Unix
plan files).
