Hacker Ethic
Even if you have no interest in computer programming, this is an article worth reading: It examines a 'great hacking feat' from a different perspective: not as an act of great daring, but taking into account the people whose jobs are made harder (if not impossible) by some guys having fun (and deciding how programming 'should work ( Read more... ) -
