Comment watching the old series (Score 2) 655

You should be aware that there are episodes that were lost in fires etc. So if you start from the beginning, you might be disappointed. Starting from the new series (2005) is probably OK for the uninitiated. If you watch the old series, you have to be prepared to watch some cheap sets and bad writing. Most of the sets were done with cellophane and papier mache. It is fun to watch, but if you watch the "confidential" series, the commentary refers back to the old series, where necessary.

Some 7 months ago, I got the corner of an Audi Q7 in the the wall of my rear tire (in a car park). Made a mess of the rear quarter of the car I was selling 5 days later. I have pictures, but they do not show me or what I thought of the other driver. No amount of hi-tech cameras, beepers or even my horn blasting, helped. He just came on and said he didn't see me. If someone is distracted nothing helps.

The mainstream media has screwed this one up for years, but it's embarrassing to see hacker and cracker ...

The *only* people that differentiate between the two are the Slashdot crowd. To *everyone* else, an hacker is a hacker is a hacker.

So what would *you* call a person who works to dismantle a computer problem, bit by bit, until it is solved?
