                    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
                      actually close to its original, pre-Industrial-Revolution sense of a skill,
                      clever device, or instrument (the word is cognate to
                      ‘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.
