wirehead: /wi:r´hed/, n. [prob.: from SF slang for an electrical-brain-stimulation addict]
1. A hardware hacker, especially one who concentrates on
communications hardware. 2. An expert in local-area networks. A wirehead can be a network
software wizard too, but will always have the ability to deal with network
hardware, down to the smallest component. Wireheads are known for their
ability to lash up an Ethernet terminator from spare resistors, for
example.
