Perception is reality......... unfortunately.

Browse the Jargon File.

Hacking and its relation to Open Source:

Free as in Freedom

yeah, guess your right. I'll tell you one thing, hacking is NOT good if you are referring to computers, even sure I am sure that you already new that.

Driver, I couldn't have put it better myself. Cheers.

Hacking is whatever you want to make it. There are numerous definitions; the one you chose to live with is up to you.

The good thing about information is that there is so much of it!!!!! And most of it is used for a particular purpose.

ACCORDING to my sources and research, the term "hack" and "hacking" relates back to the American Civil War when, when one side of the other installed telegraph wires along railroad tracks, the opposing sides would "hack" the telegraph wires to destroy communications.


In fact, the American Civil War (as I recall) was the first war to use such new fangled devices (telegraph and railroads) to support military logical operatiions.

So, there might be a lot of people who would like to define "hack" and "hacking' to be congruent with a particular cause or purpose. However, my research on the subject goes back to the Civil War in the US and the cutting of communications lines with tools like bayonets and axes
