I've been interviewed a couple of times by CBC and other media. Each time I explain what "hackers" means, and it doesn't really go anywhere. The way I see it, we just need more positive "hacker" and maker stories than there are bad ones. In the mean time, don't let it get to you. Just go do good stuff.

Perhaps next time someone gets an interview with the media we could call them idiots, just as bad as Fox; they don't allow our side of the story.
Many phenomenal discoveries have come from the likes of a "hack"! Discoveries like the Higgs boson came about in such a way, found (not necessarily the Higgs) by mistake while we were looking for something else. Hacks were also helpful in discovering holes, or breeches in other's software.
