of course no one should want to be a hacker ... in the same sense that no one want to be a book reader, you just can't suddenly force it on you to like reading

of course no one should want to be a hacker ... in the same sense that no one want to be a book reader, you just can't suddenly force it on you to like reading book! either you do or you don't like to read, think about what you read and than discuss what you read ... if this ever gets a better name than a 'book reader' ... you can't choose to be one i am of course a book reader anyway, if you ever decide to be hacker, please read the article in the link above, actually i would recommend you read all of esr writing, particulary the cathedral and the bazaar ... learn python too, and hack on the twistedmatrix networking framework... this will surely make u a great hacker ... :)))
