Translate into English. Хакеры: плохие или хорошие?
Слово хакер совмещает в себе, по крайней мере, два значения: одно – окрашенное негативно (взломщик /burglar/), другое — нейтральное или даже хвалебное / laudatory/ (ас, мастер).
Английский глагол to hack применительно к (as applied to) компьютерам может означать две вещи — взломать систему (to break into a computer system) или починить ее. У этих действий есть общая основа: понимание того, как устроен компьютер, и программы, которые на нем работают.
В 1984 году Стивен Леви в своей знаменитой книге Хакеры: Герои компьютерной революции говорит о трех поколениях хакеров. Первое возникло в шестидесятых годах — начале семидесятых на отделениях компьютерных наук в университетах. Используя технику разделения времени (time sharing), эти парни преобразовали компьютеры общего пользования (mainframes) в виртуальные персональные компьютеры.
В конце 70-х второе поколение делает следующий шаг (to take a step) – изобретение и производство персональных компьютеров. Эти неакадемические хакеры были яркими представителями контркультуры. Например, Стив Джобс, хиппи-битломан, бросивший колледж, или Стив Возняк, инженер в «Hewlett-Packard». Прежде чем преуспеть (to succeed in) в «Apple», оба Стива занимались тем, что собирали и продавали так называемые голубые коробки — приспособления, позволяющие бесплатно звонить по телефону.
Руководствуясь той же хакерской этикой, что и предыдущие поколения, они противостоят коммерциализации Internet, создавая программы, которые тут же становятся доступны всякому, кто их пожелает, – так называемые free-ware или shareware.
Третье поколение киберреволюционеров, хакеры начала 80-х, создало множество прикладных, учебных и игровых программ для персональных компьютеров. Типичная фигура — Мич Кейпор, бывший учитель трансцендентальной медитации (transcedental meditation), создавший программу «Lotus 1-2-3», которая весьма способствовала успеху компьютеров IBM.
За годы, прошедшие с выхода книги Леви, к власти пришло четвертое поколение революционеров. Именно они преобразовали милитаристскую Arpanet в тотальную дигитальную эпидемию, известную ныне как Internet.
Плохие хакеры – читают чужие письма, воруют чужие программы и всеми доступными способами вредят прогрессивному человечеству.
