- clef 13y agoSpot on.
- 3villabs 13y agoAgreed that is my point. It has been around a long term, and yes we are in danger of overuse. Thus the comment on "Sex Hackers" indicating we have gone to far.
- czbond 13y agoAgreed - great blog post bringing up points I hadn't considered.... Love the opening line too.
- pabb 13y agoPrecisely. I've read the counter sentiment multiple times from black hats who are exasperated seeing "hacker" tied to any notion of someone who programs or likes to "tinker with shit". I'd much rather keep the word definition at its root. (disclosure: I'm not a hacker)
- clef 13y ago>"tinker with shit". That's gold!
