  I grew up on a homestead/farm/ranch. We made things work. In my
  book, that is called "hacking".
  
  When I make things work, computer-wise, in my book - I think of
  that as 'hacking'.

  Unfortunately, those who use computers maliciously, break into
  things, and perhaps __also__ do things of a military nature for
  their country are also called hackers. They should be called
  "crackers" or something else. For good or for bad...

  IMHO

  BTW: When I was a kid, the word "geek" referred to someone who
  worked at a carnival and bit the heads off of chickens for the
  benefit of the customers....

  God, I'm old.
