Going back to last weeks discussion about Hackers being heroes or anti-heroes, Levy writes from 1984, when the Hackers were not only heroes, but of a different definition. Hackers were actually used to create programming software that was designed to get optimal use of the TX-0 computer -not disabling programming from its intended use. Levy goes on to say that 'No Manifestos were required,' but his group of hacker friends did have a standard they lived by. My question is: do other people in the class feel his short outline of 'Hacker rules' was that much different than the Hacker Manifesto?
