He knows that I have a photographic memory ... and that I'm a hacker. ~ Stieg Larsson
Hacker quotes by Stieg Larsson
The Hacker Ethic: Access to computers
and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works
should be unlimited and total.
Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!
All information should be free.
Mistrust authority
promote decentralization.
Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.
You can create art and beauty on a computer.
Computers can change your life for the better. ~ Steven Levy
Hacker quotes by Steven Levy
Even people who feel perfectly comfortable investing in the stock market and owning their own homes often have qualms about individual medical accounts or Social Security private accounts. ~ Jacob Hacker
Hacker quotes by Jacob Hacker
When a hacker gains access to any corporate data, the value of that data depends on which server, or sometimes a single person's computer, that the hacker gains access to. ~ John McAfee
Hacker quotes by John McAfee
I've been an inveterate reader of literary magazines since I was a teenager. There are always discoveries. You're sitting in your easy chair, reading; you realize you've read a story or a group of poems four times, and you know, Yes, I want to go farther with this writer. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
Unix is not so much a product as it is a painstakingly compiled oral history of the hacker subculture. It is our Gilgamesh epic: a living body of narrative that many people know by heart, and tell over and over again - making their own personal embellishments whenever it strikes their fancy. The bad embellishments are shouted down, the good ones picked up by others, polished, improved, and, over time, incorporated into the story. [ ... ] Thus Unix has slowly accreted around a simple kernel and acquired a kind of complexity and asymmetry about it that is organic, like the roots of a tree, or the branchings of a coronary artery. Understanding it is more like anatomy than physics. ~ Neal Stephenson
Hacker quotes by Neal Stephenson
I'm a fucking killing machine, and you're a sweet little hacker who likes to flirt with danger. Baby, I am danger. ~ Rebecca Zanetti
Hacker quotes by Rebecca Zanetti
When you zap things with light to build quantum computers, you're hacking existing systems. You're hijacking the computation that's already happening in the universe, just like a hacker takes over someone else's computer. ~ Seth Lloyd
Hacker quotes by Seth Lloyd
Attribution is an enduring problem when it comes to forensic investigations. Computer attacks can be launched from anywhere in the world and routed through multiple hijacked machines or proxy servers to hide evidence of their source. Unless a hacker is sloppy about hiding his tracks, it's often not possible to unmask the perpetrator through digital evidence alone. ~ Kim Zetter
Hacker quotes by Kim Zetter
It would all be done with keys on alphanumeric keyboards that stood for weightless, invisible chains of electronic presence or absence. If patterns of ones and zeroes were "like" patterns of human lives and deaths, if everything about an individual could be represented in a computer record by a long strings of ones and zeroes, then what kind of creature could be represented by a long string of lives and deaths? It would have to be up one level, at least -- an angel, a minor god, something in a UFO. It would take eight human lives and deaths just to form one character in this being's name -- its complete dossier might take up a considerable piece of history of the world. We are digits in God's computer, she not so much thought as hummed to herself to sort of a standard gospel tune, And the only thing we're good for, to be dead or to be living, is the only thing He sees. What we cry, what we contend for, in our world of toil and blood, it all lies beneath the notice of the hacker we call God. ~ Thomas Pynchon
Hacker quotes by Thomas Pynchon
Everything about Mark Zuckerberg is pure hacker. Hackers don't take realities of the world for granted; they seek to break and rebuild what they don't like. They seek to outsmart the world. ~ Sarah Lacy
Hacker quotes by Sarah Lacy
The pull between sound and syntax creates a kind of musical tension in the language that interests me. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
If you give a hacker a new toy, the first thing he'll do is take it apart to figure out how it works. ~ Jamie Zawinski
Hacker quotes by Jamie Zawinski
Community means people spending time together here, and I don't think there's really that. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
Good writing gives energy, whatever it is about. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
The explosion of companies deploying wireless networks insecurely is creating vulnerabilities, as they think it's limited to the office - then they have Johnny Hacker in the parking lot with an 802.11 antenna using the network to send threatening emails to the president! ~ Kevin Mitnick
Hacker quotes by Kevin Mitnick
God is a hacker, not an engineer ~ Francis Crick
Hacker quotes by Francis Crick
In early 1993, a hostile observer might have had grounds for thinking that the Unix story was almost played out, and with it the fortunes of the hacker tribe. ~ Eric S. Raymond
Hacker quotes by Eric S. Raymond
He sounds like kind of a hacker. Which makes his nam-shub very difficult to
understand. If he was such a nice guy, why did he do the Babel thing?"
"This is considered to be one of the mysteries of Enki. As you have noticed,
his behavior was not always consistent with modern norms."
"I don't buy that. I don't think he actually fucked his sister, daughter, and
so on. That story has to be a metaphor for something else. I think it is a
metaphor for some kind of recursive informational process. This whole myth
stinks of it. To these people, water equals semen. Makes sense, because they
probably had no concept of pure water -- it was all brown and muddy and full of
viruses anyway. But from a modern standpoint, semen is just a carrier of
information -- both benevolent sperm and malevolent viruses. Enki's water --
his semen, his data, his me -- flow throughout the country of Sumer and cause it
to flourish."
"As you may be aware, Sumer existed on the floodplain between two major rivers,
the Tigris and the Euphrates. This is where all the clay came from -- they took
it directly from the riverbeds."
"So Enki even provided them with their medium for conveying information -- clay.
They wrote on wet clay and then they dried it out -- got rid of the water. If
water got to it later, the information was destroyed. But if they baked it and
drove out all the water, sterilized Enki's semen with heat, t ~ Neal Stephenson
Hacker quotes by Neal Stephenson
Every hacker is to some extent a rebel who lives by different standards and enjoys beating the system. ~ Kevin D. Mitnick
Hacker quotes by Kevin D. Mitnick
If you take a guy who loves the sound of his own voice and give him power, he becomes a demagogue. If you give him money, he becomes a show-off. Give him the internet, and he's a ceaselessly flaming activist; give him an Internet of Things, and he becomes a wrangler, a guy for whom every possible relationship to any possible object or service is some ever-ramifying, well-nigh metaphysical hacker session. ~ Bruce Sterling
Hacker quotes by Bruce Sterling
A hacker to me is someone creative who does wonderful things. ~ Tim Berners-Lee
Hacker quotes by Tim Berners-Lee
Hacking is a talent. You won't learn it at school. It's like being Messi or C.Ronaldo. If you were born to become a Hacker, it's your destiny. Otherwise, you'll be Hacked. ~ Amine Essiraj
Hacker quotes by Amine Essiraj
Clearly, once the student is no longer a student the possibilities of relationship are enlarged. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
'Love, Death and the Changing of the Seasons' is a kind of novel in verse about the arc of an urban lesbian love affair - and I suppose there is a certain amount of voyeurism in the consumption of fiction! The 'Sancerre' poems here are more contemplative and about the relationship of the individual to local and wider histories. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
When you translate poetry in particular, you're obliged to look at how the writer with whom you're working puts together words, sentences, phrases, the triple tension between the line of verse, the syntax and the sentence. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
Right, right, I get it, you're a doctor, not a hacker. ~ Rachel Bach
Hacker quotes by Rachel Bach
Wicked Tribe, Rooling Tribe! is the mejor hacker tribe. Too small, too fast, too scientific! ~ Tad Williams
Hacker quotes by Tad Williams
I know he's an assassin and I'm just his bizarre hacker partner in crime, but he is . . . different. More than a friend. In fact, if we weren't in the situation we were in, I'd call him my best friend. No one else ever takes care to make sure that I'm comfortable like he does. It's small things that tell me he's thinking of me and my quirks even when I'm not in my own head. No one, not even my brother Daniel, is so attuned to my needs. ~ Jessica Clare
Hacker quotes by Jessica Clare
Andrew Hacker argues that algebra and trigonometry and calculus are subjects that almost nobody used after they graduate, and so why should we continue to compel students to try to pass them? ~ Anya Kamenetz
Hacker quotes by Anya Kamenetz
While the Texas prison officials remained in the dark about what was going on, they were fortunate that William and Danny had benign motives. Imagine what havoc the two might have caused; it would have been child's play for these guys to develop a scheme for obtaining money or property from unsuspecting victims. The Internet had become their university and playground. Learning how to run scams against individuals or break in to corporate sites would have been a cinch; teenagers and preteens learn these methods every day from the hacker sites and elsewhere on the Web. And as prisoners, Danny and William had all the time in the world.

Maybe there's a lesson here: Two convicted murderers, but that didn't mean they were scum, rotten to the core. They were cheaters who hacked their way onto the Internet illegally, but that didn't mean they were willing to victimize innocent people or naively insecure companies. ~ Kevin D. Mitnick
Hacker quotes by Kevin D. Mitnick
The hacker mindset doesn't actually see what happens on the other side, to the victim. ~ Kevin Mitnick
Hacker quotes by Kevin Mitnick
I characterize myself as a retired hacker. I'm applying what I know to improve security at companies. ~ Kevin Mitnick
Hacker quotes by Kevin Mitnick
Paris is a wonderful city. I can't say I belong to an especially anglophone community. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
Everyone thinks they're going to write one book of poems or one novel. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
I have experienced healing through other writers' poetry, but there's no way I can sit down to write in the hope a poem will have healing potential. If I do, I'll write a bad poem. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
The beginnings of the hacker culture as we know it today can be conveniently dated to 1961, the year MIT acquired the first PDP-1. ~ Eric S. Raymond
Hacker quotes by Eric S. Raymond
It's true, I had hacked into a lot of companies, and took copies of the source code to analyze it for security bugs. If I could locate security bugs, I could become better at hacking into their systems. It was all towards becoming a better hacker. ~ Kevin Mitnick
Hacker quotes by Kevin Mitnick
I wasn't a hacker for the money, and it wasn't to cause damage. ~ Kevin Mitnick
Hacker quotes by Kevin Mitnick
The woman poet must be either a sexless, reclusive eccentric, with nothing to say specifically to women, or a brilliant, tragic, tortured suicide. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
Hacker with Bullhorn: "Save your money! Accept one of our free tanks! It is invulnerable, and can drive across rocks and swamps at ninety miles an hour while getting a hundred miles to the gallon!"
Prospective Station Wagon Buyer: "I know what you say is true ... but ... er ... I don't know how to maintain a tank!"
Bullhorn: "You don't know how to maintain a station wagon either!"
Buyer: "But this dealership has mechanics on staff. If something goes wrong with my station wagon, I can take a day off work, bring it here, and pay them to work on it while I sit in the waiting room for hours, listening to elevator music."
Bullhorn: "But if you accept one of our free tanks, we will send volunteers to your house to fix it for free while you sleep!"
Buyer: "Stay away from my house, you freak! ~ Neal Stephenson
Hacker quotes by Neal Stephenson
I try to write everyday. I do that much better over here than when I'm teaching. I always rewrite, usually fairly close-on which is to say first draft, then put it aside for 24 hours then more drafts. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
She noted the lack of female hardware hackers, and was enraged at the male hacker obsession with technological play and power. ~ Steven Levy
Hacker quotes by Steven Levy
Every time a message seems to grab us, and we think, 'I just might try it,' we are at the nexus of choice and persuasion that is advertising. ~ Andrew Hacker
Hacker quotes by Andrew Hacker
Why should I apologize for being a HACKER? Has anyone ever apologized for turning me into one? ~ Harsh Mohan
Hacker quotes by Harsh Mohan
You are almost not free, if you are teaching a group of graduate students, to become friends with one of them. I don't mean anything erotically charged, just a friendship. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
I'm alternatingly brilliant and witless-and sleepless: bed is just a swamp to roll in. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
Software Engineering might be science; but that's not what I do. I'm a hacker, not an engineer. ~ Jamie Zawinski
Hacker quotes by Jamie Zawinski
I don't know if you have
the words I need. I know you didn't need the ones I had. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
There is something very satisfactory about being in the middle of something. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
A smartphone links patients' bodies and doctors' computers, which in turn are connected to the Internet, which in turn is connected to any smartphone anywhere. The new devices could put the management of an individual's internal organs in the hands of every hacker, online scammer, and digital vandal on Earth. ~ Charles C. Mann
Hacker quotes by Charles C. Mann
If Metias joined the Patriots, he'd be a Hacker too. If he were alive. ~ Marie Lu
Hacker quotes by Marie Lu
With, or despite our scars, we stay alive. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
I crave uncomplicated quiet, and the sky. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
Being a journalist, Hacker had no particular talent for reporting facts. ~ Jonathan Lynn
Hacker quotes by Jonathan Lynn
Took to typing as quickly and loudly as possible and yelling, "I'm in!" when accessing basic programs. Made me feel like a hacker. ~ Jeremy Robert Johnson
Hacker quotes by Jeremy Robert Johnson
I wonder what it means about American literary culture and its transmission when I consider the number of American poets who earn their living teaching creative writing in universities. I've ended up doing that myself. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
Did you love well what you very soon left? Come home and take me in your arms and take away this stomach ache, headache, heartache. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
Central tenets of the Hacker Ethic: the free flow of information, particularly information that helped fellow hackers understand, explore, and build systems. ~ Steven Levy
Hacker quotes by Steven Levy
A hacker doesn't deliberately destroy data or profit from his activities. ~ Kevin Mitnick
Hacker quotes by Kevin Mitnick
Practice is a private activity, and having someone witness it an odd sort of embarrassment. ~ Christopher Hacker
Hacker quotes by Christopher Hacker
F___k being a script kiddie if you can avoid it - be a hacker. ~ Kevin D. Mitnick
Hacker quotes by Kevin D. Mitnick
I am by now completely convinced that my downfall in life is going to be my inability to achieve computer nirvana like a true hacker or hackette. I think this lacking is the most unmodern facet of my personality - the career equivalent of having six fingers, or a vestigial tail. ~ Douglas Coupland
Hacker quotes by Douglas Coupland
Lovely and unremarkable, the clutter
of mugs and books, the almost-empty Fig
Newtons box, thick dishes in a big
tin tray, the knife still standing in the butter,
change like the color of river water
in the delicate shift to day. Thin fog
veils the hedges, where a neighbor dog
makes rounds. 'Go to bed. It doesn't matter
about the washing-up. Take this book along.'
Whatever it was we said that night is gone,
framed like a photograph nobody took.
Stretched out on a camp cot with the book,
I think that we will talk all night again,
there, or another where, but I am wrong. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
I lived in the studio apartment that I bought for four years before I bought it in 1989, so I was already in it. I began living there in 1985, so I've had the same address and phone number since then. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
Racism has always been able to come up with a scientific veneer. ~ Andrew Hacker
Hacker quotes by Andrew Hacker
Really you'd do that.

Yes I would, I am a hacker I can do whatever I like. ~ Charon Lloyd-Roberts
Hacker quotes by Charon Lloyd-Roberts
Everyone wants to be called an outsider so I'm a proud insider. If I was young I'd be in my parents' house shutting down the government on my computer. The new delinquent is the hacker. ~ John Waters
Hacker quotes by John Waters
If you are a good hacker everybody knows you, But if you are a great hacker nobody knows you. ~ Rishabh Surya
Hacker quotes by Rishabh Surya
I was fascinated with the phone system and how it worked; I became a hacker to get better control over the phone company. ~ Kevin Mitnick
Hacker quotes by Kevin Mitnick
the hackers realizes which one is which. As a political statement, the hacker changes the amount of fluoride flowing into the drinking water. He plans to do this for only a few minutes. Almost immediately, lightning strikes a phone pedestal a mile down the road. The DSL line the hacker is using "goes dark". Panic finds its way across the hacker's face as he realizes he just murdered over a thousand people with fluoride poisoning. ~ Jeremy Martin
Hacker quotes by Jeremy Martin
The Hacker Way is an approach to building that involves continuous improvement and iteration. Hackers believe that something can always be better, and that nothing is ever complete. ~ Mark Zuckerberg
Hacker quotes by Mark Zuckerberg
JOHN: you hacked my dad's wallet?? ~ Andrew Hussie
Hacker quotes by Andrew Hussie
The key to social engineering is influencing a person to do something that allows the hacker to gain access to information or your network. ~ Kevin Mitnick
Hacker quotes by Kevin Mitnick
I'm a hacker, but I'm the good kind of hackers. And I've never been a criminal. ~ Mikko Hypponen
Hacker quotes by Mikko Hypponen
Did you love well what very soon you left? Come home and take me in your arms and take away this stomach ache, headache, heartache. Never so full, I never was bereft so utterly. The winter evenings drift dark to the window. Not one work will make you, where you are, turn in your day, or wake from your night toward me. The only gift I got to keep or give is what I've cried, floodgates let down to mourning for the dead chances, for the end of being young, for everyone I loved who really died. I drank our one year out in brine instead of honey from the seasons of your tongue. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
I think there is something about coming to a city to work that puts you in touch with it in a different way. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
The garage is the space for the hacker, the tinkerer, the maker. The garage is not defined by a single field or industry; instead, it is defined by the eclectic interests of its inhabitants. It is a space where intellectual networks converge. ~ Steven Johnson
Hacker quotes by Steven Johnson
From Orient Point

The art of living isn't hard to muster:
Enjoy the hour, not what it might portend.
When someone makes you promises, don't trust her

unless they're in the here and now, and just her
willing largesse free-handed to a friend.
The art of living isn't hard to muster:

groom the old dog, her coat gets back its luster;
take brisk walks so you're hungry at the end.
When someone makes you promises, don't trust her

to know she can afford what they will cost her
to keep until they're kept. Till then, pretend
the art of living isn't hard to muster.

Cooking, eating and drinking are a cluster
of pleasures. Next time, don't go round the bend
when someone makes you promises. Don't trust her

past where you'd trust yourself, and don't adjust her
words to mean more to you than she'd intend.
The art of living isn't hard to muster.

You never had her, so you haven't lost her
like spare house keys. Whatever she opens,
when someone makes you promises, don't. Trust your
art; go on living: that's not hard to muster. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine? ~ Ken Levine
Hacker quotes by Ken Levine
You happened to me. You were as deep down as I've ever been. You were inside me like my pulse. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
Do you think the Chinese think twice about hiring a hacker with a mohawk or a tattooed face? No. ~ John McAfee
Hacker quotes by John McAfee
In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that. ~ Linus Torvalds
Hacker quotes by Linus Torvalds
A growth hacker doesn't see marketing as something one does but rather as something one builds into the product itself. ~ Ryan Holiday
Hacker quotes by Ryan Holiday
[Didn't Sappho say her guts clutched up like this?]"

Didn't Sappho say her guts clutched up like this?
Before a face suddenly numinous,
her eyes watered, knees melted. Did she lactate
again, milk brought down by a girl's kiss?
It's documented torrents are unloosed
by such events as recently produced
not the wish, but the need, to consume, in us,
one pint of Maalox, one of Kaopectate.
My eyes and groin are permanently swollen,
I'm alternatingly brilliant and witless
- and sleepless: bed is just a swamp to roll in.
Although I'd cream my jeans touching your breast,
sweetheart, it isn't lust; it's all the rest
of what I want with you that scares me shitless. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
Ghazal !يا لطيف (Ya Lateef!)
- 1942-

A lot more malaise and a little more grief every day,
aware that all seasons, the stormy, the sunlit, are brief every day.

I don't know the name of the hundredth drowned child, just the names
of the oligarchs trampling the green, eating beef every day,

while luminous creatures flick, stymied, above and around
the plastic detritus that's piling up over the reef every day.

A tiny white cup of black coffee in afternoon shade,
while an oud or a sax plays brings breath and relief every day.

Another beginning, no useful conclusion in sight‚ -
another first draft that I tear out and add to the sheaf every day.

One name, three-in-one, ninety-nine, or a matrix of tales
that are one story only, well-springs of belief every day.

But I wake before dawn to read news that arrived overnight
on a minuscule screen , and exclaim يا لطيف every day. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
A hacker is someone who uses a combination of high-tech cybertools and social engineering to gain illicit access to someone else's data. ~ John McAfee
Hacker quotes by John McAfee
I was a hacker of sorts. Not a mind 'reader,' exactly; more a mind 'radar,' in tune with the workings of the aether. I could sense the nuances of dreamscapes and rogue spirits. Things outside myself. Things the average voyant wouldn't feel. ~ Samantha Shannon
Hacker quotes by Samantha Shannon
I've got to be careful what I say but Glenn Mulcaire was a blagger and a phone hacker. ~ Thomas Watson Jr.
Hacker quotes by Thomas Watson Jr.
I love being a businessman much more than being a hacker. ~ Kim Dotcom
Hacker quotes by Kim Dotcom
What I like about Sapphics is the music of a non-iambic metric in English. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
Given the devaluation of literature and of the study of foreign languages per se in the United States, as well as the preponderance of theory over text in graduate literature studies, creative writing programs keep literature courses populated. ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
Somebody could send you an office document or a PDF file, and as soon as you open it, it's a booby trap and the hacker has complete control of your computer. Another major problem is password management. People use the same password on multiple sites, so when the hacker compromises one site, they have your password for everywhere else. ~ Kevin Mitnick
Hacker quotes by Kevin Mitnick
Be very careful. We suggest getting a book on HTML to avoid becoming a real legend in the hacker world. Putting up a web page before you know how to put up a web page is generally a very bad idea. The .gov sites are an exception. ~ Emmanuel Goldstein
Hacker quotes by Emmanuel Goldstein
Nearly a Valediction"

You happened to me. I was happened to
like an abandoned building by a bull-
dozer, like the van that missed my skull
happened a two-inch gash across my chin.
You were as deep down as I've ever been.
You were inside me like my pulse. A new-
born flailing toward maternal heartbeat through
the shock of cold and glare: when you were gone,
swaddled in strange air I was that alone
again, inventing life left after you.

I don't want to remember you as that
four o'clock in the morning eight months long
after you happened to me like a wrong
number at midnight that blew up the phone
bill to an astronomical unknown
quantity in a foreign currency.
The U.S. dollar dived since you happened to me.
You've grown into your skin since then; you've grown
into the space you measure with someone
you can love back without a caveat.

While I love somebody I learn to live
with through the downpulled winter days' routine
wakings and sleepings, half-and-half caffeine-
assisted mornings, laundry, stock-pots, dust-
balls in the hallway, lists instead of longing, trust
that what comes next comes after what came first.
She'll never be a story I make up.
You were the one I didn't know where to stop.
If I had blamed you, now I could forgive

you, but what made my cold hand, back in prox-
imity to your hair, your m ~ Marilyn Hacker
Hacker quotes by Marilyn Hacker
To be a hacker - when I use the term - is somebody who is creative and does wonderful things. ~ Tim Berners-Lee
Hacker quotes by Tim Berners-Lee
Did you hook up with your girlfriend yet?"
"No. But I have high hopes for that. Assuming I can stay alive."
"High hopes for what?"
"Our relationship."
"Why?" she asks. "What's changed between then and now?"
This is one of these utterly simple and obvious questions that is irritating
because Hiro's not sure of the answer. "Well, I think I figured out what she
was doing -- why she came here."
Another simple and obvious question. "So, I feel like I understand her now."
"You do?"
"Yeah, well, sort of."
"And is that supposed to be a good thing?"
"Well, sure."
"Hiro, you are such a geek. She's a woman, you're a dude. You're not supposed
to understand her. That's not what she's after."
"Well, what is she after, do you suppose -- keeping in mind that you've never
actually met the woman, and that you're going out with Raven?"
"She doesn't want you to understand her. She knows that's impossible. She just
wants you to understand yourself. Everything else is negotiable."
"You figure?"
"Yeah. Definitely."
"What makes you think I don't understand myself?"
"It's just obvious. You're a really smart hacker and the greatest sword fighter
in the world -- and you're delivering pizzas and promoting concerts that you
don't make any money off of. How do you expect her to -- ~ Neal Stephenson
Hacker quotes by Neal Stephenson
When an attacker fails with one person, they often go to another person. The key is to report the attack to other departments. Workers should know to act like they are going along with what the hacker wants and take copious notes so the company will know what the hacker is trying to find. ~ Kevin Mitnick
Hacker quotes by Kevin Mitnick
The movie marketing paradigm says throw an expensive premiere and hope that translates into ticket sales come opening weekend. A growth hacker says, "Hey, it's the twenty-first century, and we can be a lot more technical about how we acquire and capture new customers." The start-up world is full of companies taking clever hacks to drive their first set of customers into their sales funnel. The necessity of that jolt - needing to get it any way they can - has made start-ups very creative. ~ Ryan Holiday
Hacker quotes by Ryan Holiday
The biggest hack a motivation hacker can perform is to build her confidence to the size of a volcano. An oversized eruption of Expectancy can incinerate all obstacles in the path to any goal when you combine it with good planning. Value ~ Nick Winter
