From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   O \O\, interj.
      An exclamation used in calling or directly addressing a
      person or personified object; also, as an emotional or
      impassioned exclamation expressing pain, grief, surprise,
      desire, fear, etc.
  
               For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. --Ps.
                                                                              cxix. 89.
  
               O how love I thy law ! it is my meditation all the day.
                                                                              --Ps. cxix.
                                                                              97.
  
      Note: O is frequently followed by an ellipsis and that, an in
               expressing a wish: [bd]O [I wish] that Ishmael might
               live before thee ![b8] --Gen. xvii. 18; or in
               expressions of surprise, indignation, or regret: [bd]O
               [it is sad] that such eyes should e'er meet other
               object ![b8] --Sheridan Knowles.
  
      Note: A distinction between the use of O and oh is insisted
               upon by some, namely, that O should be used only in
               direct address to a person or personified object, and
               should never be followed by the exclamation point,
               while Oh (or oh) should be used in exclamations where
               no direct appeal or address to an object is made, and
               may be followed by the exclamation point or not,
               according to the nature or construction of the
               sentence. Some insist that oh should be used only as an
               interjection expressing strong feeling. The form O,
               however, is, it seems, the one most commonly employed
               for both uses by modern writers and correctors for the
               press. [bd]O, I am slain ![b8] --Shak. [bd]O what a
               fair and ministering angel ![b8] [bd]O sweet angel
               ![b8] --Longfellow.
  
                        O for a kindling touch from that pure flame !
                                                                              --Wordsworth.
  
                        But she is in her grave, -- and oh The difference
                        to me !                                          --Wordsworth.
  
                        Oh for a lodge in some vast wilderness !
                                                                              --Cowper.
  
                        We should distinguish between the sign of the
                        vocative and the emotional interjection, writing
                        O for the former, and oh for the latter. --Earle.
  
      {O dear}, [and] {O dear me!} [corrupted fr. F. O Dieu! or It.
            O Dio! O God! O Dio mio! O my God! --Wyman.], exclamations
            expressive of various emotions, but usually promoted by
            surprise, consternation, grief, pain, etc.

   Other Interests
  
      Some hobbies are widely shared and recognized as going with the
   culture: science fiction, music, medievalism (in the active form
   practiced by the Society for Creative Anachronism and similar
   organizations), chess, go, backgammon, wargames, and intellectual games
   of all kinds.   (Role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons used to
   be extremely popular among hackers but they lost a bit of their luster
   as they moved into the mainstream and became heavily commercialized.
   More recently, "Magic: The Gathering" has been widely popular among
   hackers.)   Logic puzzles.   Ham radio.   Other interests that seem to
   correlate less strongly but positively with hackerdom include
   linguistics and theater teching.
