		Hackers want their motivations and ethics to be viewed as legitimate, or at least understood, instead of being simply written off as devious teenagers who have nothing better to do than crash every available computer.
		However, hackers often express a wish to work with an established institution, such as the police, for both personal gain (less chance of being prosecuted yourself) and for the good of the movement (hackers feel that police should be spending their time and resources going after the real computer criminals, such as corporate embezzlers).
		Hackers that defy the ethics and values of the underground are castigated, and the word of the deed and the offender quickly travels through the social network.

	How To Become A Hacker
		The hacker mind-set is not confined to this software-hacker culture.
		Hackers will sometimes do things that may seem repetitive or boring to an observer as a mind-clearing exercise, or in order to acquire a skill or have some particular kind of experience you can't have otherwise.
		Because the "invisible college" that is hacker culture is a loose and informal one, the role of gatekeeper is informal too.

	HK -= [Hacker Kulture] =- Hackers -= [Hacker Culture(s) - J. Löwgren] =-
		Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.
		Hacker cultures are meritocracies where positions are based on demonstrated knowledge and achievements.
		In passing, it should be noted that (1) traditional hackers are careful to make the distinction between hackers and crackers, (2) many of the computer crimes reported in media would not qualify as hacks, and (3) most of the ethical principles are flexible enough to accommodate various personal purposes and persuasions (including illegal ones).

	The Hacker Culture
		A man named Eric Raymond, and icon of the hacker culture, defined them as “those whom the hacker culture recognizes as such.” With this, it is important to distinguish between hackers and crackers.
		Hackers nurture an overarching sense of the breakthrough of technological innovations through cooperation and free communication.
		Those who submit more, better code for the improvement of the culture are seen in a higher regard from those who do not do their own work or simply work for their own selfish goals.

	Comments on Homesteading the Noosphere
		Hacker culture has a lot of power, but it's small and based on an at least somewhat vulnerable foundation (post-scarcity economics).
		Basically what they say is that the legal system of the surrounding culture is not going to be permitted to intrude into ours and that we are willing to use artifacts of the exchange culture (namely their notion of intellectual property) to enforce this.
		Instead of law, hacker culture bases its problem resolution procedures on open communication, debate, and public opinion; the winner is the person who succeeds in raising their reputation among the onlookers in the community high enough that they have sufficient capital to earn victory over the losers.

	Homesteading the Noosphere by Eric S. Raymond
		I have summarized the history of the hacker culture elsewhere [5]; the ways in which it shaped present behavior are not mysterious.
		This is that many hackers resisted the analysis and showed a strong reluctance to admit that their behavior was motivated by a desire for peer repute or, as I incautiously labeled it at the time, 'ego satisfaction'.
		Since many hackers have had formative exposure to academia (it's common to learn how to hack while in college) the extent to which academia shares adaptive patterns with the hacker culture is of more than casual interest in understanding how these customs are applied.

	Hacker - Ursine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Hackers consider themselves something of an elite (a meritocracy based on ability), though one to which new members are gladly welcome.
		Examples such as the glider "hacker log", the RFC definition, and anthropological commentary by well-known figures like Eric Raymond and Paul Graham are nearly unavoidable.
		Characteristic of the hacker culture, and apparently rather particular to it, is the fact that such efforts are typically characterized as suggestions rather than authoritative absolutes.

	Hacker culture (Linux Reviews)
		The hacker culture is the voluntary subculture established between and around hackers.
		After 1969 it fused with the technical culture of the pioneers of the Internet, after 1980 with the culture of Unix, and after 1987 with elements of the early microcomputer hobbyists.
		Hackers from the hobby and network hacking subculture often show an adherence to ficitional cyberpunk and cyberculture literature and movies.

	Electronic Culture - The Hacker Work Ethic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Eric Raymond, a well-known defender of hacker culture, is also known for his playful lifestyle: a fan of live role-playing games, he roams the streets of his Pennsylvania hometown and the surrounding woods attired as an ancient sage, a Roman senator, or a seventeenth-century cavalier.
		Hackers want to realize their passions, and they are ready to accept that the pursuit even of interesting tasks may not always be unmitigated bliss.
		For hackers, passion describes the general tenor of their activity, though its fulfillment may not be sheer joyful play in all its aspects.

		Hackers in The Mist by Roger Blake (e-mail: rblake@ripco.com) December 2, 1994 Anthropology C99 Independent Study Northwestern University Abstract: In this article I explore the culture of computer hackers.
		The Hacker Personality: Schwartau presents hackers as suffering from some sort of "clinical narcissistic personality disorder (Schwartau 1994: 196)." Although this might be a component of certain hackers' personalities, this is an uneasy generalization of what hackers are like, as well as their motivation.
		A very talkative hacker, who calls himself Guido Sanchez had this to say about paranoid hackers, during a tape recorded interview: There are paranoid hackers out there, like a couple people that we know, that are so paranoid about giving out their real information.

	Hacker culture...Encryptoo.com
		The hacker culture is the voluntary subculture which first developed in the 1960s among hackers working on early minicomputers in academic computer science environments.
		Since the mid-1990s the hacker culture has been almost coincident with what is now called the open source movement.
		The concentration of hacker culture has paralleled and partly been driven by the commoditization of computer and networking technology, and has in turn accelerated that process.

	What is a Hacker?
		A ``hacker'' is the opposite: someone who never goes to class, who in fact sleeps all day, and who spends the night pursuing recreational activities rather than studying.
		A password hacker whose primary interest is in learning how the system works doesn't therefore necessarily refrain from stealing information or services, but someone whose primary interest is in stealing isn't a hacker.
		In practical terms, the problem of providing moral education to hackers is the same as the problem of moral education in general.

		Thomas also discusses publications such as 2600: The Hacker Quarterly, which provides insight into the political and social agendas of hacker culture, as well as the publication Phrack, which he contends has its finger on the pulse of hacker culture.
		He shows us that hackers have been at the edge of defining these issues, and in a remarkably well balanced account which refuses fl and white labels, he shows that they are not always on the wrong side.
		This is a cultural and political study of hackers as researched by an academic, and as a former academic myself, I can tell you a bit about how this process works.

	Hacker Culture
		Demonized by governments and the media as criminals, glorified within their own subculture as outlaws, hackers have played a major role in the short history of computers and digital culture-and have continually defied our assumptions about technology and secrecy through both legal and illicit means.
		In Hacker Culture, Douglas Thomas provides an in-depth history of this important and fascinating subculture, contrasting mainstream images of hackers with a detailed firsthand account of the computer underground.
		“Hacker Culture is thankfully not a stylized look at subculture, as an embryonic cult aspriring to become culture, but rather a much broader view of the increasingly computerized networks that comprise society.
