the network
n.
1. Historically, the union of all the major noncommercial, academic, and
hacker-oriented networks, such as Internet, the pre-1990 ARPANET, NSFnet,
BITNET, and the virtual UUCP and Usenet ?networks?, plus the corporate
in-house networks and commercial timesharing services (such as CompuServe,
GEnie and AOL) that gateway to them. A site is generally considered on the
network if it can be reached through some combination of Internet-style
(@-sign) and UUCP (bang-path) addresses. See Internet, bang path,
network address.
2. Following the mass-culture discovery of the Internet in 1994 and
subsequent proliferation of cheap TCP/IP connections, ?the network? is
increasingly synonymous with the Internet itself (as it was before the
second wave of wide-area computer networking began around 1980).
3. A fictional conspiracy of libertarian hacker-subversives and
anti-authoritarian monkeywrenchers described in Robert Anton Wilson's novel
Schr?dinger's Cat, to which many hackers have subsequently decided they
belong (this is an example of ha ha only serious).
In sense 1, the network is often abbreviated to the net. ?Are you on the
net?? is a frequent question when hackers first meet face to face, and ?See
you on the net!? is a frequent goodbye.

The Network
1. (Or "the net") The union of all the
major noncommercial, academic and hacker-oriented networks,
such as Internet, the old ARPANET, NSFnet, BITNET, and
the virtual UUCP and Usenet "networks", plus the corporate
in-house networks and commercial time-sharing services (such
as CompuServe) that gateway to them.
A site was generally considered "on the network" if it could
be reached by electronic mail through some combination of
Internet-style (@-sign) and UUCP (bang-path) addresses.
Since the explosion of the Internet in the mid 1990s, the term
is now synonymous with the Internet.
See network address.
2. A fictional conspiracy of libertarian
hacker-subversives and anti-authoritarian monkeywrenchers
described in Robert Anton Wilson's novel "Schrödinger's Cat",
to which many hackers have subsequently decided they belong
(this is an example of ha ha only serious).
