slovo | definícia |
hacked off (foldoc) | hacked off
(Analogous to "pissed off") Said of {system
administrators} who have become annoyed, upset, or touchy
owing to suspicions that their sites have been or are going to
be victimised by crackers, or used for inappropriate,
technically illegal, or even overtly criminal activities. For
example, having unreadable files in your home directory called
"worm", "lockpick", or "goroot" would probably be an effective
(as well as impressively obvious and stupid) way to get your
sysadmin hacked off at you.

adj.
[analogous to ‘pissed off’] Said of system administrators who have become
annoyed, upset, or touchy owing to suspicions that their sites have been or
are going to be victimized by crackers, or used for inappropriate,
technically illegal, or even overtly criminal activities. For example,
having unreadable files in your home directory called ‘worm’, ‘lockpick’,
or ‘goroot’ would probably be an effective (as well as impressively obvious
and stupid) way to get your sysadmin hacked off at you.
It has been pointed out that there is precedent for this usage in U.S. Navy
slang, in which officers under discipline are sometimes said to be “in hack
” and one may speak of “hacking off the C.O.”.
