I'm sorry if I sound dumb here, but what does it really mean to Hack?

Incidentally, google should be your first stop when you think you want to ask a question like this.

I've met lots of hacks.
They're kind of like gaffers.

If I was asked "What is a hacker?" the best sumarization of what it is to be a hacker is the "Hackers Manifesto" it rings true in several aspects..
Anyone seen something that does a better job? I once submitted it as an attachment to a paper I wrote for freshman comp. The instructor found it interesting. It had hit home, right after I had been accused of plagiarism in an art class. Yes art.. the instructor assigned a color wheel using pencils I photoshoped it, and was accused of copying it.Last edited by [Syntax]; June 26, 2004, 01:36.Comment

And as an addendum to that:Originally posted by EeeekPenguins
'LOL' IS A PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT
The official backlash against the three-letter phrase 'lol' starts now - hell, it's so hackneyed that even Fox is using it to promote its Sunday night programming lineup. "MY GRANDMOTHER DIED FROM SOMETHING THAT LAID EGGS IN HER BRAIN AND I FEEL SAD LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL": the instant mark of a mental midget. Fucking hell people, sentences end with punctuation and not three-letter acronyms bearing the instantaneous connotation of mental retardation and AOL chat rooms as a primary source of online realtime communication. "HALLO COMPUTAR USAR DO U LIEK 2 HOTT CHATT ON TEH COMPUTAR MASCHIEN LOLOLOLLIMAOSCARLIMAOLOLOL!!!1ELEVEN!!"
"ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER! DO YOU SPEAK IT?" Good Lord, I want to break the hands of the guilty to prevent the further spread of this pestilent affliction. Learn to type out COMPLETE WORDS, take the time to check that your grammar doesn't make you sound as though you've got a bandsaw lodged in your frontal lobes, and develop an ability to communicate on a level above the picture menu at McDonald's. We'll all benefit from it in the long run.Comment

A humble 'Amen'
Wow. That has to be the best rant against poor online communication that I have seen in some time. Of course, having lurked here for a while, seeing skroo as the last one to post on this topic tipped me off that some reaming was in the works.
I add my two cents thusly:
THINK BEFORE YOU TYPE OR I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND TAKE A HACKSAW TO YOUR HANDS!
That is all.Apes. The smartest thing dumber than man.Comment
