Considering we're posting on a website called "Hacker News", I can only assume I'm not the only one deeply frustrated by that title, and the opening paragraph. There's the hacker vs. cracker debate, but this is just profoundly disrespectful to me. There's no intentional disrespect here. The author probably has no idea. (Granted, a search for "hacker culture" does yield a Wikipedia article making it quite clear.) I feel disrespected for the complete lack of research on the term and because my core identity is being unintentionally slandered with such _brevity_ without even being understood or recognized. I continue to identify myself to others outside of the software community as a "free software hacker". And when someone sees this website on my computer---Hacker News---what are they to assume? When I'm sitting on an airplane looking at this site, what are they to assume? Had to vent.
