J. Random Hacker /J rand'm hak'r/ /n./ [MIT] A mythical
figure like the Unknown Soldier; the archetypal hacker nerd. See
random, Suzie COBOL. This may originally have been
inspired by `J. Fred Muggs', a show-biz chimpanzee whose name was a
household word back in the early days of TMRC, and was
probably influenced by `J. Presper Eckert' (one of the co-inventors
of the electronic computer).
