/day"t*-may"sh*n/ A magazine that many hackers assume all
suits read. Used to question an unbelieved quote, as in
"Did you read that in "Datamation?"" It used to publish
something hackishly funny every once in a while, like the
original paper on COME FROM in 1973, and Ed Post's "Real
Programmers Don't Use Pascal" ten years later, but it has
since become much more exclusively suit-oriented and boring.
