"The Glider" Hacker Emblem. Hacker does not refer to someone who breaks into other peoples' computers, although it is commonly misinterpretted that way. It simply refers to someone who creates or modifies computer software. The "Glider" term comes from Conway's "Game of Life". There is a more detailed, more correct desription of hacker on Wikipedia.
