> Less about how to become a hacker.. I'm ok in that department.. :-)

To understand the definition of "hacker", you should read that page by Eric if you haven't. Did not mean to imply anything else.

Haxor has gotten adopted by wannabe black hats/level 2 script kiddies, but that doesn't matter any more than "hacker" tends to get redefined on HN as "web developer". It is less helpful to understand what haxor means, and more important to learn what being a hacker really means: to exploit technology in a way that takes it beyond its original understood capability, and hopefully to achieve mastery of it.
