Hacking is a verb. Meaning it's a word that provides an action. It is what I do when I golf. "Hey Charlie, dude; I am hacking the hell out of the ground with my driver and this damn ball ins't going anywhere."
It's a Zen thing..... Google it..... You'll become Zen-like yourself..... ;)
I thought it was mapping the sewer system under Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Followed by engineering a model railroad system.
Hacking is art. Exploring your computer system and expanding his capabilities to the maximum:)

An unconventional approach to problem solving.

Hmmm... Well, if I check my network settings on my M$ WinXP box, mine is Zenim. I got that by looking at a book upside down and seeing Win32 inverted (got too much time on my hands). Not sure if that's a male or female name, but seeing the trend here so far I siding with female. :DQuote:

Hacker is a term used by some to mean "a clever programmer" and by others, especially journalists or their editors, to mean "someone who tries to break into computer systems."
1) Eric Raymond, compiler of The New Hacker's Dictionary, defines a hacker as a clever programmer. A "good hack" is a clever solution to a programming problem and "hacking" is the act of doing it. Raymond lists five possible characteristics that qualify one as a hacker, which we paraphrase here:
A person who enjoys learning details of a programming language or system
A person who enjoys actually doing the programming rather than just theorizing about it
A person capable of appreciating someone else's hacking
A person who picks up programming quickly
A person who is an expert at a particular programming language or system, as in "Unix hacker"
Raymond deprecates the use of this term for someone who attempts to crack someone else's system or otherwise uses programming or expert knowledge to act maliciously. He prefers the term cracker for this meaning.
2) Journalists or their editors almost universally use hacker to mean someone who attempts to break into computer systems. Typically, this kind of hacker would be a proficient programmer or engineer with sufficient technical knowledge to understand the weak points in a security system. For more on this usage, see cracker.

An excerpt from: Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution
by Steven Levy
Access to computers -- and anything which might teach you
something about the way the world works -- should be unlimited
and total. Always yield to the Hands-On imperative.
All information should be free.
Mistrust Authority. Promote Decentralization.
Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria
such as degrees, age, race, or position.
You can create art and beauty on a computer.
Computers can change your life for the better.
yes u definately can be all u need is hard work lot of studies and reeeeeeeeeeeeeeserchQuote:
