Since we're talking about language use, this quote from Kevin Mitnik: "What News Corp. did, guess pin codes, spoofing voicemails, that is amateur script kiddie stuff." Is itself kind of interesting, as there's no use of computer scripting languages at all here. He's using "script kiddie" to mean not "someone who uses pre-written scripts to break into computer systems and then boasts of their skills" but rather "someone whose skills I don't respect."
