Re: The times, they are a"changin"
The best definition of "hacking" that I've heard (due to C.A.R Hoare)
it that hacking is something done in private between you and your
computer whereas programming is something done in public.

Another definition that's qute is that a hacker is someone that writes
a BEGIN and an END and then "patches" till it works.
