    I am going to get an app that looks like a green terminal, but all the text is in chinese. If people ask about it I will say "I do all my hacking in Chinese. Harder to trace."

    historically hacker meant something closer to tinkerer than specifically a security expert. I like this interpretation better.

    The jargon file provides a lot of exciting perspective on the origin of common tech terms.

    @lorentz indeed. I liked that interpretation of the word better. I usually think of proper hackers in the MIT sort of way.

    The term has evolved to mean something in the sense of ethical and non-ethical infosec practices.
