By 'hacker,' are you referring to the definition in the Jargon file or a cracker? Crackers are lame and nothing but rejects. Hackers are geeks/nerds.
I, myself, am a geek. I haven't played sports since my parents let me quit elementary-school baseball (forced to play...man, was that bench ever warm!) I was in band from 4th-11th grade. I know the most about computers in my school (even beating out my school's sysadmin...he didn't know what SQL stood for...sheesh  ) I can confuse my entire class in about 10 seconds. And I haven't had a girlfriend...since...uhh...ever
I get called a pothead...which is weird...because I'm not.
And pocket protectors FREAKING RULE!
