Works for me. Though, there's a gray zone in the middle, having to
do with repurposing things to perform new functions, for example
turning game consoles into inexpensive Linux PCs, and very often the
same people are involved in both types of activity. <br>
<br>
It's good to reclaim "hacker" from its pejorative use as "computer
criminal," and it would also be good if the culture at-large got
over the obsession with carving out a special category for crimes
committed with computers. We don't refer to kidnappers and bank
robbers as "automobile criminals" because they use automobiles,
though we do use the term "get-away car" to refer to the cars used
in such crimes. Bank robbery is bank robbery, whether committed
with a pistol and a car, or a computer and forged ATM cards, or a
bank CEO's office and a pile of fraudulent mortgage documents. <br>

<div>Hi All,<br>
<br>
</div>
I recently came across a definition of Hackers and Makers
and wanted to share the concept with the Sudo Community. <br>
<br>
</div>
Hacking can be defined as: Finding ways be make something
perform a function it was not indented to.<br>
<br>
</div>
While Making can be defined as: Building new things.<br>
<br>
</div>
The basic idea being that Hackers take existing things and get
them to do the unexpected, while Makers build new things. Makers
can hack and Hackers can make. <br>
<br>
I like these definitions. Thoughts?<br clear="all">
