	Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race or position.
		Hackers were initially against time-sharing systems because they felt that a system should be used to its fullest, and this could only be done by one person at a time.
		LIFE was a computer simulation written by John Conway, and it became the focus of Gosper in 1970.

	The Hacker's Ethics
		Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degress, age, race, or position.
		Although hackers freely acknowledge that their activities may be occasionally illegal, considerable emphasis is placed on limiting violations only to those required to obtain access and learn a system, and they display hostility toward those who transgress beyond beyond these limits.
		Elite hackers complain continuously that novices are at an increased risk of apprehension and also can "trash" accounts on which experienced hackers have gained and hidden their access.

	Hacker (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A hacker, in golf, can describe one whose golf game is unacceptably below the average par for a course, or mean a duffer, a mediocre player who enjoys playing but makes no serious effort to improve his skill.
		Hacker (and Hack) are also terms for a taxicab driver (because a taxicab can be called a hack, a shortened form of hackney carriage).
		Hacker has a musical connotation; in small combos, and in middle school, high school, and college jazz band classes all over the English-speaking world, "hacker" means either a musician who plays out of turn or simply a musician who shows off constantly.

	Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution... - Security Worm
		Hackers is considered a classic of computer history (short as it is) and culture.
		The true birthplace of the personal computer was not the elite halls of MIT, but the grungy garages of the original hardware hackers, centering primarily around the legendary Homebrew Computer Club.
		Starting from the late 1950s, when the first hackers wrote code for the TX-0 and every instruction counted, to the early 1980s, when computers fully entered the consumer mainstream, and it was marketing rather than hacking which mattered.

	Review: Hackers - Heroes of the Computer Revolution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The computer industry changes so fast that a ten-year old book is practically pre-historic, but Penguin has chosen to re-issue this one on its tenth anniversary, and I would applaud the decision, having it the first time around.
		Hackers is no ordinary book - it covers three generations, from the “True Hackers” at MIT in the late ‘50s to the builders of the first personal computers in the mid-seventies and the more pragmatic entrepreneurs of the games industry of the early ‘80s.
		None of the hackers, who were as a rule scrupulously honest in other matters, seemed to equate this with ‘stealing’.” The book also describes numerous incidents of lock picking, phone ‘phreaking’ (use without payment) and even the odd spot of recreational drug use.

		This is the definitive book on the early hackers, true hackers, and should be required reading for all those people, generally with good intentions, that ignorantly refer to electronic criminals and vandals as "hackers".
		Hackers are a national resource, and it is only the ignorant who do not understand this.

		The computer did the converting, and those who seemed to follow the Hacker Ethic most faithfully were people like Samson, Saunders, and Kotok, whose lives before MIT seemed to be mere preludes to that moment when they fulfilled themselves behind the console of the TX-0.
		This was the implicit belief of the hackers, and the hackers irreverently extended the conventional point of view of what computers could and should do--leading the world to a new way of looking and interacting with computers.
		Hackers felt otherwise: anything that seemed interesting or fun was fodder for computing--and using interactive computers, with no one looking over your shoulder and demanding clearance for your specific project, you could act on that belief.

	HACKERS Book Review by Pamela Rice Hahn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The first third of Hackers is devoted to those techies who emerged as pioneers of the hacker ethic.
		Because the club was founded primarily by those who'd been building their own simple computers at home—mostly from kits like the Altair—there were many members who simply didn't believe a market existed for a computer that that hadn't been built by its user.

		In the book _HACKERS; Heroes of the Computer Revolution_, by Steven Levy the "Hacker Ethic" was first put into concrete words.

		Even after more than three centuries and the revolutions of Einsteinian relativity and quantum mechanics, Newtonian physics continues to account for many of the phenomena of the observed world, and Newtonian celestial dynamics is used to determine the orbits of our space vehicles.
		This completely new translation, the first in 270 years, is based on the third (1726) edition, the final revised version approved by Newton; it includes extracts from the earlier editions, corrects errors found in earlier versions, and replaces archaic English with contemporary prose and up-to-date mathematical forms.
		His revolutions in food service automation, franchising, shared national training and advertising have earned him a place beside the men who founded not merely businesses but entire new industries.

	Powell's Books - Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution by Steven Levy
		A mere fifteen years ago, computer nerds were seen as marginal weirdos, outsiders whose world would never resonate with the mainstream.
		That was before one pioneering work documented the underground computer revolution that was about to change our world forever.
		With groundbreaking profiles of computer pioneers such as Bill Gates, Steve Wozinak, MIT's Tech Model Railroad Club, and more, "Hackers" captures a seminal moment with risk-takers and explorers who were poised to conquer 20th century America's last great frontier.

	topeka::writings::book review: Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The second generation of hackers cared less about software but instead, fought for the idea that computers should be liberated from the massive industry bureaucracies, led by IBM, the maker of the Hulking Giants.
		Though the discussion of the last 40 years worth of computers is in depth, Levy's is a story of people, and how their interaction with machines created a new kind of ethic.
		From the MIT Hackers Greenblatt and Gosper to the Berkeley street Hacker Felsenstein to the master of Atari 800 assembly language John Harris to Apple Computer's Steve Wozniac, Levy's narrative runs deep into the Hacker ethic within these individuals and what they did for the fledgling computer industry.

		Hackers gets into the mindset of those people who push the computer past the envelopes of expections--sitting at the keyboard these are artists, pioneers, explorers.
		The book is in three parts, exploring the canonical AI hackers of MIT, the hardware hackers who invented the personal computer industry in Silicon Valley, and the third-generation game hackers in the early 1980s.
		A more recent book about hackers (in the less delightful sense of the word, meaning people who crack into stuff) is Bruce Sterling's fine Hacker Crackdown.

		I had always hated the way the media had mis-used the word hacker, and if your interested in finding out what a true hacker is, then this is a must read.
		Also in MIT were some of the first large computers and these young men (pretty exclusively so) were drawn to these behemoths like bugs to a flame.
		Companies, such as Sierra, were founded by hackers, but in order to grow and develop, something had to be left behind, and one such thing was the belief in free software.

		An introduction to the world of hackers and the characters that inhabit it, such as Steve Wozniak, who designed a computer to impress his friends and ended up forming Apple Computers, and "phreaker" Captain Crunch, who discovered a secret access to long-distance phone lines in a cereal box.
		Steven Levy tells a good story and for every one of us reading this on a computer now, the history of the computer is a great one.
		The guys who made computing what it is today simply didn't know the meaning of the word impossible.

		I don't have nearly the skills that the hackers in this book do, and I don't agree with all of their philosophies, but I certainly respond to many of the same things that they respond to.
		However, Hackers suggests that the personal computer came about because of the hackers themselves and their Hacker Ethic.
		Part of the Hacker Ethic is that everyone should have access to computing equipment.

		Though some in the field used the term "hacker" as a form of derisi on, implying that hackers were either nerdy social outcasts or "unprofessional" programmers who wrote dirty, "nonstandard" computer code, I found them quite diffe rent.
		This Hacker Ethic is their gift to us: something with value even to those of us with no interest at all in computers.\par It is an ethic seldom codified, but embodied instead in the behav-\par }{\f3 \par }{x }{\fs20 PREFACE\par \par }{ior of hackers themselves.
		Instead, these are th e backroom geniuses who understood the machine at its most profound levels, and presented us with a new kind of life-style and a new kind of hero.\par Hackers like Richard Greenblatt, Bill Gosper, Lee Felsenstein, and John Harris are the spirit and soul of computing itself.

	Encryption Software: Books: Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution, Security and Encryption
		Owning the most powerful computer, the latest high-tech gadget, and the whizziest web site is a status symbol on a par with having a flashy car or a designer suit.
		And a media obsessed with the digital explosion has reappropriated the term "computer nerd" so that it's practically synonymous with "entrepreneur." Yet, a mere fifteen years ago, wireheads hooked on tweaking endless lines of code were seen as marginal weirdos, outsiders whose world would never resonate with the mainstream.
		With groundbreaking profiles of Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, MIT's tech Model Railroad Club, and more, Steven Levy's Hackers brilliantly captures a seminal moment when the risk takers and explorers were poised to conquer twentieth-century America's last great frontier.
