Personally, I think trying to recover the lost innocence of the
term ``hacker'' is hopeless.   It's become too well known in the
press, et cetera.   Perhaps a better tack is to come up with a
new moniker to replace ``hacker'' for non-criminal use.   Something
along the lines of "silicon surfer" or "foo-barker/foo-barfer".
