fool
(jargon) | fool
n.
As used by hackers, specifically describes a person who habitually reasons
from obviously or demonstrably incorrect premises and cannot be persuaded
by evidence to do otherwise; it is not generally used in its other senses,
i.e., to describe a person with a native incapacity to reason correctly, or
a clown. Indeed, in hackish experience many fools are capable of reasoning
all too effectively in executing their errors. See also cretin, loser,
fool file.
The Algol 68-R compiler used to initialize its storage to the character
string "F00LF00LF00LF00L..." because as a pointer or as a floating point
number it caused a crash, and as an integer or a character string it was
very recognizable in a dump. Sadly, one day a very senior professor at
Nottingham University wrote a program that called him a fool. He proceeded
to demonstrate the correctness of this assertion by lobbying the university
(not quite successfully) to forbid the use of Algol on its computers. See
also DEADBEEF.

fool
(devil) | FOOL, n. A person who pervades the domain of intellectual speculation
and diffuses himself through the channels of moral activity. He is
omnific, omniform, omnipercipient, omniscience, omnipotent. He it was
who invented letters, printing, the railroad, the steamboat, the
telegraph, the platitude and the circle of the sciences. He created
patriotism and taught the nations war -- founded theology, philosophy,
law, medicine and Chicago. He established monarchical and republican
government. He is from everlasting to everlasting -- such as
creation's dawn beheld he fooleth now. In the morning of time he sang
upon primitive hills, and in the noonday of existence headed the
procession of being. His grandmotherly hand was warmly tucked-in the
set sun of civilization, and in the twilight he prepares Man's evening
meal of milk-and-morality and turns down the covers of the universal
grave. And after the rest of us shall have retired for the night of
eternal oblivion he will sit up to write a history of human
civilization.
