The use of "hacker" to mean "security breaker" is a confusion on the part of the mass media. We hackers refuse to recognize that meaning, and continue using the word to mean, "Someone who loves to program and enjoys being clever about it."

『hacker』在大量的媒体上被作为『系统安全破坏者』被使用是一件十分令人困扰的事情。我们这些『hackers』拒绝承认这个含义。并且继续使用它的本意:『那些热爱编程并享受其快感的人们』
