Hacker hasn't always been used to describe dangerous
computer experts will ill intent. More accurately it should be sued
to describe those enamored with computers, programming, and trying
to push machines to do interesting things. The values, ethics,
morals, and practices around those people make up what's known as
hacker culture. Today we are digging into the Jargon File, a
compendium of all things hackish and hackable, to take a look at
hacker culture through its folklore.
