   with all the negative publicity I thought I'd put things   
   in perspective... There are many figgerent kinds of hackers and they fall   
   under 3 distincy categories:   
   1. hardware hackers   
   2. software hackers   
   3. social hackers   
      
   under 1. you have:   
   * design engineers (the ultimate hardware hacker),   
   * radio engineers and technicians (these are the guys that invented much of   
   the radio and wireless technology you see around you),   
   * electronic engineers and technicians (these folks are the hackers of   
   computers and computerize electronic devices),   
   * automotive hackers (some gang bangers and "shade tree mechanics" are thus   
   because they tend to do "creative work" ),   
   * networking specialists (including engineers)   
   * specialized thieves (B&E, burglary, espionage, etc)   
      
   under 2:   
   * software design engineers   
   * OS design engineers   
   * security consultants   
   * forensic specialists   
   * some of #1 crosses over here as well (tcp/ip, networking, etc)   
   * multimedia content authors (and some pirates),   
   * visual artists   
   * musicians   
   * authors   
      
   under 3:   
   * psychologists/psychiatrists   
   * comedians   
   * con artists   
   * telephone sales (I know its corny but think how it is they get you to buy   
   stuff)   
   * advertising executives/employees   
   * chef's (you think you'd pay for an expensive meal if it looked like crap?)   
      
      
   There are many others (in fact, I can't seem to think of them all). got any   
   to add to the list? changes to the list? more types of hackers? Sounds like   
   a fun project.
