You somehow mix up Hacker mind with Childish mind. Robert Morrison never spoke like that. The K & R team never spoke like that. Cap'n Crunch never spoke like that. The lab folks at Xerox didn't talk like that. I can list off a lot of hackers who definitely have Hacker minds, and they certainly do not act like that. Oblig Mitnik/Hacker reference: I do not put Kevin Mitnik in that group. I don't know if he was a hacker or a script kiddy. I don't care. All I know is he got caught, and is getting the royal shaft for it. In any case, he doesn't present himself as one with your idea of a "hacker mind" either. Laters, Karsten "Germano Rizzo" wrote:

Hi,

Do you think a guy without a 'hacker' mind would program a FREE environment, without the perspective of gaining something from it? Or that a guy without a 'whale saving' tendence could bear all the disinformation campaigns that the major companies have lead in the past?
