Isn't one of the core values "laziness"? How can we hold true to that value if the term "hacker" gets written out of the picture?! Just think of all the JAPH code out there that will need to be rewritten!!! If it must change though, my first vote would be for "Geek". My friends and family often get that glassy-eyed look when I attempt to explain the details of what I do for a living. When I simply tell them I'm a "computer geek" I get instant recognition and nothing more needs to be said. Of course there are those that would suggest that "Geek" is tired and played out. To those individuals I offer the other job description I give to folks that ask what I do for a living:
Sure, it's vague and prompts questions that sometimes have painfully detailed answers, but those that I'm close to know better than to ask. AcolyteJAPG In reply to Re: The new 'hacker' word?
