Problem

Solutions: Hacker: The term hacker, as applied to computer users, first came into use about the same time as microcomputers. A hacker is someone who spends many hours with the computer often successfully operating it by trial and error without first referring to the manual. A hacker is often a technical person in the computer field, such as an assembly language programmer or systems programmer. Today, the term hacker has taken on a negative meaning. The news media has often used the term hacker in a derogatory manner to refer to people that use their technical knowledge to gain unauthorized access into private computer systems and data banks.
