Hacker:
" 1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems
and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who
prefer to learn only the minimum necessary. RFC1392, the Internet
Users' Glossary, usefully amplifies this as: A person who delights in
having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system,
computers and computer networks in particular.
 2. One who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who enjoys
programming rather than just theorizing about programming.
