Core Wars n. A game between `assembler' programs in a machine or machine simulator, where the objective is to kill your opponent's program by overwriting it. Popularized in the 1980s by A. K. Dewdney's column in "Scientific American" magazine, but described in "Software Practice And Experience" a decade earlier. The game was actually devised and played by Victor Vyssotsky, Robert Morris Sr., and Doug McIlroy in the early 1960s (Dennis Ritchie is sometimes incorrectly cited as a co-author, but was not involved). Their original game was called `Darwin' and ran on a IBM 7090 at Bell Labs. See {core}. For information on the modern game, do a web search for the `rec.games.corewar FAQ' or surf to the King Of The Hill (http://www.koth.org) site. | |

carrier scanner dial a series of phone numbers (say, from 770-0000 to 770-9999), and keeps a log of what phone numbers answer with a modem {carrier}. The results of such a search were generally used by people looking to engage in {random} mischief in {random} machines. Since the 1980s, wardialers have generally fallen into disuse, partly because of easily available "{caller ID}" technology, partly because fax machines are now in wide use and would often be logged as a {carrier} by a wardialer, and partly because there are so many new and more interesting venues for computerised mischief these days.
