> The country's media hacker fever seems on the rise again.

I just viewed the CBS NightWatch News. There was an interview with
an FBI man and an "ex-phreap". They discussed the different crimes
being committed by "hackers" and even went as far as to say that
there is a difference between the hardened criminal who is using
computers for credit card crime and the such, and the teenager who
is just "curious". But in no way did they make it clear that not all
hackers are criminals. I am afraid that we who are curious, but over
the age of puberty had better made a different name to identify
ourselves.
