ESR wrote:Q: How do I tell if I am already a hacker?
A: Ask yourself the following three questions:
- Do you speak code, fluently?
- Do you identify with the goals and values of the hacker community?
- Has a well-established member of the hacker community ever called you a hacker?

What level would I have to be at to proclaim myself "Hacker"? This comes into consideration due to there being stereotypes. (Such as, "Skiddie")

If you can delete everything in the HLS database, you are a hacker. Finding Google's IP address or getting admin access to a lame ass site nobody uses is not being a true hacker. That is why I'm not a hacker, I'm just good with computers.
