Having been observing the heated debate concerning the meaning of the
word "hacker" (i.e. is it interpreted as derogatory or is it a neutral
label?), I think that this would make for an interesting poll. I'd like
to know what the general computing population thinks of the term "hacker".
Is there anyone out there who would be willing to run such a poll? I
would, but I'm going to be leaving for the holidays, and I'd hate to come
back here in January and have my mailbox flooded with unprocessed votes.
Besides, that means everyone wuld have to wait that much longer for the
results. If no one volunteers to run this poll, AND if other people think
that they would still be interested in seeing the results of one, I'll be
willing to do it sometime next month.
