Actually, this is a reply to the previous post on this subject.
Anyone, correct me if I'm wrong, but the term "hacker" was actually conned
by the original group of students at MIT who where the first to be
exposed to computers.  They used to "hack" as they called it, programs
out.  They also were known to sneak around campus at night, and hack open
every locked door and safe because they thought all information should be
available to all people.  There is a large history of this phenomena in
the book "Hackers".  (not sure who wrote it, its been a while).
