CHAPTER 99

Appendix A: THE LINGO

Like any community, the Net has developed its own language. What follows
is a glossary of some of the more common phrases you'll likely run into.
But it's only a small subset of net.speak. You an find a more complete
listing in "The New Hacker's Dictionary," compiled by Eric Raymond (MIT
Press). Raymond's work is based on an online reference known as "The
Jargon File," which you can get through anonymous ftp from
ftp.gnu.mit.ai.mit as jarg300.txt.gz in the pub/gnu directory (see
chapter 7 for information on how to un-compress a .gz file).

AFAIK As Far As I Know.

ASCII Has two meanings. ASCII is a universal computer code

for English letters and characters. Computers store

all information as binary numbers. In ASCII, the

letter "A" is stored as 01000001, whether the computer

is made by IBM, Apple or Commodore. ASCII also refers

to a method, or protocol, for copying files from one

computer to another over a network, in which neither

computer checks for any errors that might have been

caused by static or other problems.

ANSI Computers use several different methods for deciding

how to put information on your screen and how your

keyboard interacts with the screen. ANSI is one of

these "terminal emulation" methods. Although most

popular on PC-based bulletin-board systems, it can also

be found on some Net sites. To use it properly, you

will first have to turn it on, or enable it, in your

communications software.

ARPANet A predecessor of the Internet. Started in 1969 with

funds from the Defense Department's Advanced Projects

Research Agency.

backbone A high-speed network that connects several powerful

computers. In the U.S., the backbone of the Internet is

often considered the NSFNet, a government funded link

between a handful of supercomputer sites across the

country.

Baud The speed at which modems transfer data. One baud is

roughly equal to one bit per second. It takes eight

bits to make up one letter or character. Modems rarely

transfer data at exactly the same speed as their listed

baud rate because of static or computer problems. More

expensive modems use systems, such as Microcom Network

Protocol (MNP), which can correct for these errors or

which "compress" data to speed up transmission.

BITNet Another, academically oriented, international computer

network, which uses a different set of computer

instructions to move data. It is easily accessible to

Internet users through e-mail, and provides a large

number of conferences and databases. Its name comes from

"Because It's Time."

Bookmark A gopher or Web file that lets you quickly connect to

page listed sites.

Bounce What your e-mail does when it cannot get to its

recipient -- it bounces back to you -- unless it goes

off into the ether, never to be found again.

Command line On Unix host systems, this is where you tell the

machine what you want it to do, by entering commands.

Communications A program that tells a modem how to work.

software

Daemon An otherwise harmless Unix program that normally works

out of sight of the user. On the Internet, you'll most

likely encounter it only when your e-mail is not

delivered to your recipient -- you'll get back your

original message plus an ugly message from a "mailer

daemon.

Distribution A way to limit where your Usenet postings go. Handy for

such things as "for sale" messages or discussions of

regional politics.

Domain The last part of an Internet address, such as "news.com."

Dot When you want to impress the net veterans you meet at

parties, say "dot" instead of "period," for example: "My

address is john at site dot domain dot com."

Dot file A file on a Unix public-access system

that alters the way you or your messages interact with

that system. For example, your .login file contains

various parameters for such things as the text editor you

get when you send a message. When you do an ls command,

these files do not appear in the directory listing; do ls

-a to list them.

Down When a public-access site runs into technical trouble,

and you can no longer gain access to it, it's down.

Download Copy a file from a host system to your computer. There

are several different methods, or protocols, for

downloading files, most of which periodically check the

file as it is being copied to ensure no information is

inadvertently destroyed or damaged during the process.

Some, such as XMODEM, only let you download one file at

a time. Others, such as batch-YMODEM and ZMODEM, let

you type in the names of several files at once, which

are then automatically downloaded.

EMACS A standard Unix text editor preferred by Unix types

that beginners tend to hate.

E-mail Electronic mail -- a way to send a private message to

somebody else on the Net. Used as both noun and verb.

Emoticon See smiley.

F2F Face to Face. When you actually meet those people you

been corresponding with/flaming.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions. A compilation of answers to

these. Many Usenet newsgroups have these files, which

are posted once a month or so for beginners.

Film at 11 One reaction to an overwrought argument: "Imminent death

of the Net predicted. Film at 11."

Finger An Internet program that lets you get some bit of

information about another user, provided they have first

created a .plan file.

Flame Online yelling and/or ranting directed at somebody else.

Often results in flame wars, which occasionally turn into

holy wars (see).

Followup A Usenet posting that is a response to an earlier

message.

Foo/foobar A sort of online algebraic place holder, for example: "If

you want to know when another site is run by a for-

profit company, look for an address in the form of

foo@foobar.com."

Fortune cookie An inane/witty/profund comment that can be found around

the net.

Freeware Software that doesn't cost anything.

FTP File-transfer Protocol. A system for transferring files

across the Net.

Get a life What to say to somebody who has, perhaps, been spending a

wee bit too much time in front of a computer.

GIF Graphic Interchange Format. A format developed in the

mid-1980s by CompuServe for use in photo-quality graphics

images. Now commonly used everywhere online.

GNU Gnu's Not Unix. A project of the Free Software

Foundation to write a free version of the Unix operating

system.

Hacker On the Net, unlike among the general public, this is not

a bad person; it is simply somebody who enjoys stretching

hardware and software to their limits, seeing just what

they can get their computers to do. What many people

call hackers, net.denizens refer to as crackers.

Handshake Two modems trying to connect first do this to agree on

how to transfer data.

Hang When a modem fails to hang up.

Hotlist Same as a to bookmark page (see).

Holy war Arguments that involve certain basic tenets of faith,

about which one cannot disagree without setting one of

these off. For example: IBM PCs are inherently superior to

Macintoshes.

Host system A public-access site; provides Net access to people

outside the research and government community.

HTML Hypertext Markup Language. The coding used on Web

pages to define hyperlinks (see), graphics and the like.

HTTP Hypertext Transport Protocol. The system used to

connect World-Wide Web resources to each other and to

users.

Hyperlink A way to connect two Internet resources via a simple

word or phrase on which a user can click to start the

connection.

IMHO In My Humble Opinion.

Internet A worldwide system for linking smaller computer

networks together. Networks connected through the

Internet use a particular set of communications

standards to communicate, known as TCP/IP.

Killfile A file that lets you filter Usenet postings to some

extent, by excluding messages on certain topics or from

certain people.

Log on/log in Connect to a host system or public-access site.

Log off Disconnect from a host system.

Lurk Read messages in a Usenet newsgroup without ever saying

anything.

Mailing list Essentially a conference in which messages are delivered

right to your mailbox, instead of to a Usenet newsgroup.

You get on these by sending a message to a specific e-

mail address, which is often that of a computer that

automates the process.

MOTSS Members of the Same Sex. Gays and Lesbians online.

Originally an acronym used in the 1980 federal census.

Net.god One who has been online since the beginning, who knows

all and who has done it all.

Net.personality Somebody sufficiently opinionated/flaky/with plenty of

time on his hands to regularly post in dozens of

different Usenet newsgroups, whose presence is known to

thousands of people.

Net.police Derogatory term for those who would impose their

standards on other users of the Net. Often used in

vigorous flame wars (in which it occasionally mutates to

net.nazis).

Netiquette A set of common-sense guidelines for not annoying others.

Network A communications system that links two or more

computers. It can be as simple as a cable strung

between two computers a few feet apart or as complex

as hundreds of thousands of computers around the world

linked through fiber optic cables, phone lines and

satellites.

Newbie Somebody new to the Net. Sometimes used derogatorily by

net.veterans who have forgotten that, they, too, were

once newbies who did not innately know the answer to

everything. "Clueless newbie" is always derogatory.

Newsgroup A Usenet conference.

NIC Network Information Center. As close as an Internet-

style network gets to a hub; it's usually where you'll

find information about that particular network.

NSA line eater The more aware/paranoid Net users believe that the

National Security Agency has a super-powerful computer

assigned to reading everything posted on the Net. They

will jokingly (?) refer to this line eater in their

postings. Goes back to the early days of the Net when

the bottom lines of messages would sometimes disappear

for no apparent reason.

NSF National Science Foundation. Funds the NSFNet, a

high-speed network that once formed the backbone of the

Internet in the U.S.

Offline When your computer is not connected to a host system

or the Net, you are offline.

Online When your computer is connected to an online service,

bulletin-board system or public-access site.

Ping A program that can trace the route a message takes from

your site to another site.

.plan file A file that lists anything you want others on the Net to

know about you. You place it in your home directory on

your public-access site. Then, anybody who fingers (see)

you, will get to see this file.

Post To compose a message for a Usenet newsgroup and then send

it out for others to see.

Postmaster The person to contact at a particular site to ask for

information about the site or complain about one of

his/her user's behavior.

Protocol The method used to transfer a file between a host

system and your computer. There are several types,

such as Kermit, YMODEM and ZMODEM.

Prompt When the host system asks you to do something and

waits for you to respond. For example, if you see

"login:" it means type your user name.

README files Files found on FTP sites that explain what is in a given

FTP directory or which provide other useful information

(such as how to use FTP).

Real Soon Now A vague term used to describe when something will

actually happen.

RFC Request for Comments. A series of documents that

describe various technical aspects of the Internet.

ROTFL Rolling on the Floor Laughing. How to respond to a

particularly funny comment.

ROT13 A simple way to encode bad jokes, movie reviews that give

away the ending, pornography, etc. Essentially, each

letter in a message is replace by the letter 13 spaces

away from it in the alphabet. There are online decoders

to read these; nn and rn have them built in.

RTFM Read the, uh, you know, Manual. Often used in flames

against people who ask computer-related questions that

could be easily answered with a few minutes with a

manual. More politely: RTM.

Screen capture A part of your communications software that

opens a file on your computer and saves to it whatever

scrolls past on the screen while connected to a host

system.

Server A computer that can distribute information or files

automatically in response to specifically worded e-mail

requests.

Shareware Software that is freely available on the Net. If you

like and use the software, you should send in the fee

requested by the author, whose name and address will be

found in a file distributed with the software.

.sig file Sometimes, .signature file. A file that, when placed in

your home directory on your public-access site, will

automatically be appended to every Usenet posting you

write.

.sig quote A profound/witty/quizzical/whatever quote that you

include in your .sig file.

Signal-to-noise The amount of useful information to be found in a given

ratio Usenet newsgroup. Often used derogatorily, for example:

"the signal-to-noise ratio in this newsgroup is pretty low."

SIMTEL20 The White Sands Missile Range used to maintain a giant

collection of free and low-cost software of all kinds,

which was "mirrored" to numerous other ftp sites on the

Net. In the fall of 1993, the Air Force decided it had

better things to do than maintain a free software library

and shut it down. But the collection lives on, now

maintained by a Michigan company.

SLIP Serial Line Internet Protocol. Used to turn home

computers into Internet sites over a phone line.

Smiley A way to describe emotion online. Look at this with

your head tilted to the left :-). There are scores

of these smileys, from grumpy to quizzical.

Snail mail Mail that comes through a slot in your front door or a

box mounted outside your house.

Spam Message posted to numerous Usenet newsgroups to which

it has absolutely no relevance (also a verb).

Sysadmin The system administrator; the person who runs a host

system or public-access site.

Sysop A system operator. Somebody who runs a bulletin-board

system.

TANSTAAFL There Ain't No Such Thing as a Free Lunch.

TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The

particular system for transferring information over a

computer network that is at the heart of the Internet.

Telnet A program that lets you connect to other computers on

the Internet.

Terminal There are several methods for determining how your

emulation keystrokes and screen interact with a public-access

site's operating system. Most communications programs

offer a choice of "emulations" that let you mimic the

keyboard that would normally be attached directly to

the host-system computer.

UUCP Unix-to-Unix CoPy. A method for transferring Usenet

postings and e-mail that requires far fewer net resources

than TCP/IP, but which can result in considerably slower

transfer times.

Upload Copy a file from your computer to a host system.

URL Uniform Resource Locator. An address on the World-Wide

Web.

User name On most host systems, the first time you connect you

are asked to supply a one-word user name. This can be

any combination of letters and numbers.

VT100 Another terminal-emulation system. Supported by many

communications program, it is the most common one in

use on the Net. VT102 is a newer version.

WWW World-Wide Web or the Web.

Please tell us where you found this form, so we see how far it goes.
SysOp/Recruiter members should place their name, system/service name,
and member number in the "I got this form from" line when distributing
the form via their systems, publications, etc. This is how the
fulfillment of the recruitment requirements is tracked.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is a U.S. nonprofit, 501(c)(3)
organization supported by contributions from individual members,
corporations and private foundations. Memberships and donations are
tax-deductible. Merchandise (e.g. t-shirt) orders are not tax-deductible.
EFF's tax exemption number is 04-3091431.

EFF is a nonpartisan equal opportunity membership organization. Membership
will never be denied to anyone because of race, color, religion, national
origin, political affiliation, etc. (In fact, EFF has never denied membership
to anyone for any reason.)

* PRIVACY POLICY:
EFF occasionally shares our mailing list with other
organizations promoting similar goals. However, we respect an
individual's right to privacy and will not distribute your
info without your explicit permission. Under no circum-
stances will your information be sold, rented or given to
advertising companies, nor revealed to government agencies.

EFF subscribes to the eTRUST Privacy Guidelines. Please see
http://www.eff.org/onsite.html for more information.

NOTES about local activism and volunteers: EFF will begin compiling a
(private) list of people interested in local "Electronic Frontier"
organizing and activism, to better help local groups get started.
Initially we'll just collect names and email addresses, and later put
people in the same area in touch with eachother when there are enough
people to get the ball rolling. EFF also from time to time seeks
volunteers and interns, on both a local in-person basis, and a virtual
over-the-Net basis. If you are an attorney interested in doing local pro
bono legal work in support of civil liberties online, please contact
EFF staff counsel Shari Steele (ssteele@eff.org), who maintains a (private)
list of attorneys to refer people to.

NOTES about credit cards: EFF does NOT recommend sending credit card
info via email, unless it is encrypted. See our PGP encryption key, below.
When submitting credit card info via email, please PGP-sign your membership
form in lieu of a regular signature. RIPEM, RSA, or other cryptographic
signatures are also acceptable, but PGP is preferred. If you do not
have access to PGP, aren't inclined to encrypt your form, etc., please
fax your membership form or send it via postal mail.

NOTES regarding Student membership: This works on the honor system -
we do not request copies of school paperwork or the like. This membership
price range is also open to those under the poverty line.

NOTES about EFF t-shirts: Available for $10 to members ($15 to non-members).
members who renew at a higher rate than last year, above Supporter
membership (e.g. "upgrade" from Supporter to Advocate, or from Student
to Pioneer) receive a free shirt if requested! T-shirts and other
merchandise are not tax-deductible, though memberships and additional
donations are (in the US; international members will need to check local
tax law.)

NOTES regarding SysOp/Recruiter membership: System Operator &
Recruiter members are required to bring in 10 or more new members to
renew at the "SysOp/Recruiter" membership rate (otherwise "Supporter"
rates apply). Send queries to membership@eff.org for more info. NOTE:
CIS, AOL, etc. forum sysops and co-sysops ARE eligible for SysOp
membership, as are system administrators at Internet access providers,
and the moderators of echomail conferences, mailing lists, and Usenet
newsgroups. Print publishers, librarians, and any others who wish to
recruit are also eligible for this membership category.
* IMPORTANT: SysOp/Recruiter members should include the mini-form below
with their membership applications.

Recruitment is usually fulfilled by distributing EFF membership forms
via the SysOp/Recruiter member's system (or forum, or publication, or
place of business, as applicable.)

NOTES about Non-profit/School/Library memberships: Open to any non-profit
organization, educational institution, or public or privately-funded library.
This category confers membership upon the member organization, not on
multiple individuals within the organization. NGOs in areas that do not
grant official non-profit status, or in places where such status is refused
for political reasons, may still use this membership category if they don't
have official recognition. Non-profit membership does not imply affiliation
or a chapter relationship.

NOTES about Corporate memberships: This category confers membership upon the
member organization, not on multiple individuals within the organization.
EFF also welcomes equipment donations, grants, event and program
sponsorship, and other industry support, aside from membership. Without
this support, EFF would not exist!

Frequently asked question: "How come I don't get monthly full-color
glossy newsletters, and mouse-pads and posters and widgets when I join?"
EFF devotes our funding to our work (and overhead, of course). We do
not feel it is right to spend your donations on gimmicks. From time to
time, we do produce pins, bumperstickers and such as part of our educational
mission, and if and when a company donates some useful product or service
for EFF members (e.g. t-shirts, discount coupons, etc.), we will be happy to
include such things as part of the membership benefits, provided they
are appropriate, and do not add appreciably to overhead. At EFF your
money goes to WORK, not to waste.

Frequently asked question: "How come, as an EFF member, I don't vote on
what EFF is doing, who the board members are, etc.?" EFF was incorporated
as a different sort of non-profit. The organization is not a "populist"
group such as a trade association that represents interests voted on by
members. We have a set and certain mission, and EFF members are those
who support our mission and want to see it succeed. Your membership dues
are actually a donation in support of the organization's goals, not a
payment for representation of changing agendas. EFF cares very much what
our members think and feel, and we always welcome your feedback, positive
or negative. EFF also supports the creation of independent local
"Electronic Frontier" organizations, in lieu of rigidly-controlled
chapters. If you are interested in starting such an organization, please
contact EFF online activist Stanton McCandlish (mech@eff.org).

EFF PGP PUBLIC KEY FOR ENCRYPTION

This is the ASCII-armored PGP 2.63 public key for the Electronic
Frontier Foundation (EFF). It is compatible with PGP vers. 2.2 - 4.x.
PGP is an ecryption (data security encoding) program, available for
DOS, OS/2, Unix, Macintosh and several other platforms. PGP is the
de facto Internet standard for encryption, and is available from many
BBSs, FTP sites, and other online services. (If you have trouble
locating PGP, see ftp.eff.org, /pub/Net_info/Tools/Crypto/README.Dist).

Note that mail sent with this key will be considered addressed to
EFF in general, not to a specific person, unless otherwise noted in
plaintext. To send encrypted personal mail to someone at EFF, for
whatever reason, please use that person's own key, or arrange some
other method of communication.

This key is provided principally for the sending of sensitive legal
information, and the transmission of credit card numbers over the
Net securely when becoming a member of EFF. It takes us time and
effort to decrypt, so please don't use this key trivially. If
sending something other than a membership form, please begin your
"Subject:" line with "URGENT -" (unless it's non-urgent of course).
Thank you. Please expect a delay, as the message will have to be
transferred to another system for decryption (we do not keep PGP
or our secret keys on our Internet systems for security reasons.)

To add this key to your PGP key ring, save the key as a text file
called pgpkey.eff, then use the following DOS or Unix commandline
(several other platforms may also use this commandline),
in your PGP directory:

pgp -ka pgpkey.eff pubring.pgp

If your public key ring has another name, use that instead of
"pubring.pgp". You may need to specify a full path to PGP, or
otherwise modify the above command. If you have trouble, please
refer to the PGP documentation and/or ask your local system
administrators for help.

For MacPGP, pick "Add Key" from the "Key" menu, select
pgpkey.eff as the file to get the key from, and pubring.pgp (or
whatever your public keyring is named) as the file to add the
key to.

To encrypt a message, please see the PGP documentation, and
remember that you will almost certainly need to generate the
result as an ASCII-armored file, so you can email it
(non-ASCII-armored PGP ciphertexts are binary, and will get
mangled if you try to email them.)

*** NOTE! PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS *INSIDE* THE
ENCRYPTED MESSAGE any time you send us crypto-mail. Please
also include it in plain text just before the beginning of
the encrypted text. Otherwise, we may not be able to reply,
if the original email headers are lost and/or we encounter
difficulties decrypting your message.
