The way of the Hackers

To follow the path: look to the master, follow the master, walk with the master, see through the master, become the master.
The path here means that of a hacker. You see, a hacker is not someone who breaks into your computer and steals all ur information or burns down your PC. No, that is a Cracker. A Hacker on the other hand is an engineer who forms the backbone of the world of engineering and technology. He is in a way responsible for how things run. He is very learned and very intelligent. And by that means, yes, he can break into another's computer and do a lot damage. But he does not. He is the so called Ninja of the information and electronic world. Sadly many have misinterpreted this possession of knowledge in the negative manner as i just described. This largely due to those, who have shallow understandings of the technology and engineering that has gone behind things like the IC and the Internet. This shallow knowledge can and is used to carry out illegal things, electronically. They are the Crackers. But trust me, Hackers are nothing like that. They do not have shallow levels of knowledge. They are the masters of their domains. They are the great engineers and scientists in the world of Information and Technology. Unlike a Cracker who goes by an alias, they never conceal their identity. They are proud of who they are. And they never hide it. They not only respect and understand Computers and wires, but also have great respect for other things alike. Music, Art, Culture. They are patrons to many things which require great volumes of intellect and understanding. They are good listeners and never arrogant. Two qualities that Crackers can never possess, simply due to the fact they they are light and high on knowledge. A Hacker is always down to earth. A hacker is many things, but not a thief. This is the way of the Hackers. I might sound dramatic here, but check it out for your self: Go and Google, "How to become a Hacker", or goto this link::http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html
