One thing that really irritates me to no end is how the mainstream media keeps demonizing the term “Hacker”. I often get questions about the term and sometimes end up spending time explaining that the term “Hacker” has been around since long before it came to be used in the world of computers.

As I’m sure most of my regular readers have already figured out, I agree with much (but not all) of what Bruce Schneier writes. His latest post, titled “\What is a Hacker?,” repeats some things he has said before about this and is an excellent description.

Well worth the read.
