[Noisebridge-discuss] Just what is "Hacking".

[maestro]

beings are often forgetting that the word 'hack' was stolen by the
computer/tech community anyway as mitch always points out when someone
interviews him.

in some areas of the U.S. it has been changed by non-computer beings
to 'millin' on things but this was picked up by meth-heads and used to
simply mean fucking with things aimlessly with rarely a productive
result (with exceptions) and without being able to put them down.

beings have been hacking since their inception (being added into the
illusion(s)).
chimps hack with tools and many times better than "people".

mayans = hackers
aborigines = hackers
aztecs = hackers
incas = hackers
inuit = hackers
American indians and others = hackers
animals, fish, reptiles = hackers

KIDS = hackers

and on...
