|
|||
|
|
balloon’ version from about a hundred Usenet respondents. Where
|
|||
|
|
comparatives are used, the implicit ‘other’ is a randomly selected
|
|||
|
|
segment of the non-hacker population of the same size as hackerdom.</p><p>An important point: Except in some relatively minor respects such as
|
|||
|
|
slang vocabulary, hackers don't get to be the way they are by imitating each
|
|||
|
|
other. Rather, it seems to be the case that the combination of personality
|
|||
|
|
traits that makes a hacker so conditions one's outlook on life that one tends
|
|||
|
|
to end up being like other hackers whether one wants to or not (much as
|
|||
|
|
bizarrely detailed similarities in behavior and preferences are found in
|
|||
|
|
genetic twins raised separately).</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="story-of-mel.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="pt03.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="appearance.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">The Story of Mel </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> General Appearance</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
