"Alt" means a second character. It can be on the same account, in which case you can't log it in at the same time as another character on that account, or it can be on a second account.
When someone refers to doing something with an alt like picking up a jetcan, they're referring to a second account, logged in at the same time as the main character.
Also, see here for more slang (blatant plug).

Alts are alternate characters. You have 3 character slots per account, and you can have multiple accounts, so you can create as many alts as you want.
People use "alts" for different things: to check the market in different hubs, to scout ahead and find PVP, to infiltrate and spy on corps, to post on the forums...
Computers are fast enough nowadays that you can open the EVE game 2, 3, even 4 times on the same computer, without slowing it down much, so people can have 2, 3, or 4 "alts" playing at the same time. |

Yes, some people spend way too much on this game.
Fortunately they are kind enough to pay for my game play so I really can't complain.
If you want an additional account, you can trade ISK for a GTC from one of those people who pays hundreds of dollars for this game. If you wanted you could pay for your main subscription that way too. See stickies in this forum for more information.
