Etymology and evolution of the word "hacker" (onthemedia.org)

Listening to public radio this evening and On The Media had a story on the word "hacker." Going back to the earliest use of the word, how it has morphed into different meanings to different people. So you think you're a l337 H4X04? It's still worth a listen!!1.
