de-rezz: /dee-rez'/ [from `de-resolve' via the movie "Tron"]
(also `derez') 1. vi. To disappear or dissolve; the image that goes
with it is of an object breaking up into raster lines and static and
then dissolving. Occasionally used of a person who seems to have
suddenly `fuzzed out' mentally rather than physically. Usage:
extremely silly, also rare. This verb was actually invented as
_fictional_ hacker jargon, and adopted in a spirit of irony by real
hackers years after the fact. 2. vt. The Macintosh resource
decompiler. On a Macintosh, many program structures (including the
code itself) are managed in small segments of the program file known
as `resources'; `Rez' and `DeRez' are a pair of utilities for
compiling and decompiling resource files. Thus, decompiling a
resource is `derezzing'. Usage: very common.
