Nope. Nice playing though.
Ummm No.
That article is totally wrong.
1) MIT's first use is documented here: http://www.cyberpunkreview.com/internet-find/first-recorded-usage-of-hacker-from-mit-paper-in-1963/
2) A "Hacker" is someone who "hacks" their way into a secure system. (phone, computer, etc.)
3) A "Cracker" is someone who breaks the copy protection on a piece of software. (at least when not used as a racial slur lol)
Any attempt to pervert the term "hacker" into a non-pejorative context is done by someone who either has no clue or is too young to have been personally involved over three decades ago.
Edit: This is similar to the modern use of phrases like "an historic event". Just because modern culture has screwed it up due to ignorance, doesnt make it right.
Nope. Nice playing though.
