"If you quibble about what makes you and what doesn't make you a hacker, you're probably not a hacker"

  Sure, maybe, but that's tangential from my point. My point was if you're making something that can't be tinkered with it's probably not for hackers. The entire subculture stems from people who tinkered with things, specifically guys making model trains do cool things, like adjust based on what someone sends in from a telephone. I would expect that the minimum that everyone calling themselves a hacker has is an urge to tinker.

  At the very least, quibbling like this is arguing about definitions, which is a waste of time if the word in question isn't technical.

  >"If you quibble about what makes you and what doesn't make you a hacker, you're probably not a hacker" have you ever been to a D&D game? rules lawyering is central to nerd social interactions.
