                          1. A piece of hardware that encapsulates some function but cant be
                            used without some kind of front end. Today we have,
                            especially, print engine: the guts of
                            a laser printer. 2. An analogous piece of software; notionally, one that does a lot
                            of noisy crunching, such as a database
                            engine.The hacker senses of engine are

                            ‘ingenuity’). This sense had not been completely eclipsed by
                            the modern connotation of power-transducing machinery in Charles Babbages
                            time, which explains why he named the stored-program computer that he
                            designed in 1844 the Analytical
                            Engine.
