This lexicon covers much of cracker slang (which is often called “leet-speak”) so the news reader will be able to understand both what leaks out of the cracker underground and the occasional ironic use by hackers.

It has also been suggested that anthropomorphizing complex systems is actually an expression of humility, a way of acknowleging that simple rules we do understand (or that we invented) can lead to emergent.

The key to understanding this kind of usage is that it isn't done in a naive way; hackers don't personalize their stuff in the sense of feeling empathy with it, nor do they mystically believe that the things they work.

At first glance, to anyone who understands how these programs actually work, this seems like an absurdity. As hackers are among the people who know best how these phenomena work, it seems odd.

The mind-set behind this tendency thus demands examination.
Lovers of design & code
The self-taught hacker is often considered to be motivated.

Some of our skills
Concepting & Planning 80%Our Mission & Philosophy
A few notes on hackish usages in Russian have been added where they are parallel with English idioms and thus comprehensible to English-speakers.
Almost all hackers subscribe to the mechanistic, materialistic ontology of science (this is in practice true even of most of the minority with contrary religious theories). In this view, people are biological machines — consciousness is an interesting and valuable epiphenomenon, but mind is implemented in machinery which is not fundamentally different in information-processing capacity from computers.
Why Choose us?
Many (perhaps even most) hackers don't follow or do sports at all and are determinedly anti-physical. Among those who do, interest in spectator sports.
Because hackers accept that a human machine can have intentions, it is therefore easy for them to ascribe consciousness and intention to other complex patterned systems such as computers.
If consciousness is mechanical, it is neither more or less absurd to say that “The program wants to go into an infinite loop”.
