the word hacker has gone all wrong (Score 1)

Hey where I grew up a hacker was someone how didn't RTFM. In other words it was someone who taught himself. You want to know how that car works well go out there and take it apart (Unfortunitly this will soon be illegal)Its not about cracking or whatever.. it's shouldn't even just refer to computers.. hacking is about thinking and about having a unusually strong disire to learn. To understand the universe and not take things for granted.
