For this to "work", we have to renumber the choices....see, this way we can define ourselves as belonging to more than 1, like I would say I'm a 107, that is, (1+10+96)


hacker (HACK-uhr) noun

1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems
and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who
prefer to learn only the minimum necessary.

10. One who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who enjoys
programming rather than just theorizing about programming.

12. A person capable of appreciating hack value.

24. A person who is good at programming quickly.

48. An expert at a particular program, or one who frequently does work
using it or on it; as in `a Unix hacker'.
(Definitions 1 through 5 are correlated, and people who fit them
congregate.)

96. An expert or enthusiast of any kind. One might be an astronomy
hacker, for example.

192. One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming
or circumventing limitations.

384. [deprecated] A malicious meddler who tries to discover sensitive
information by poking around. Hence `password hacker', `network
hacker'. The correct term for this sense is cracker.
