Subject: Re: Use of the Word "Hacker"
It seems the term "hacker" is getting into the public usage, but with
a different connotation than we (programmers) give it. Both in News- week a couple of weeks ago and again on CBS News this evening, the term "hacker" was used to refer specifically to individuals, mostly antisocial teenagers, who spend their time deliberately breaking into computer systems. I suspect that will become the "official" meaning as soon as someone gets around to including it in a dictionary. Ain't it wunnerful to watch your very own language grow?
