hacked off 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.".
