The Hacker's Code


"A hacker of the Old Code."
  • Hackers come and go, but a great hack is forever.
  • Public goods belong to the public.*
  • Software hoarding is evil. Software does the greatest good given to the greatest number.
  • Don't be evil.
  • Sourceless software sucks.
  • People have rights. Organizations live on sufferance.
  • Governments are organizations.
  • If it is wrong when citizens do it, it is wrong when governments do it.
  • Information wants to be free. Information deserves to be free.
  • Being legal doesn't make it right.
  • Being illegal doesn't make it wrong.
  • Subverting tyranny is the highest duty.
  • Trust your technolust!



Definition:
 A good is public if the marginal production cost is lower than the marginal billing cost.

Criptonomicon

I've been reading Criptonomicon - El código Enigma by Neal Stephenson. It's a great novel about Alan Turing, the engima machine, computer science, maths and hackers too! I recommended it!
