A serious question and maybe a slight aside, but wasn't being a hacker once almost a respected thing to be - at least among some communities?
So what's gone wrong...is there no such thing as 'respectable' hacking these days?
I deffo remember in about '83/'84 there used to be a column in one computer mag I used to read by 'The Happy Hacker' (if I remember rightly) who eventually also published a book about it all? Would anyone here admit they've ever been involved?
Only interested really cuz I always wanted to be the bloke outta 'War Games'..."This is not an exercise" etc. Aaaah, those halcyon days of the Cold War...
