I noticed in the editorial section of the paper an article whose
general tone was critical of viruses, break-ins, etc.  However, it was 
interesting to note that they defined a "hacker" to be a person who
enjoys programming for its own sake, and that they deliberately made a
distinction between "hackers" in general, and people who were trying to break
the system. Seems they were a bit more careful than CBS.

(Hm. I ran the above through the spelling checker, and it was perfectly happy
with "hacker" :-)
