A malicious hacker. Refers to color-coded hats in old western movies: bad guys wear black and good guys wear white. More formally, the term is used to refer specifically to malicious hackers who really know what they're doing, but it is also often informally used just to refer to "bad guys" in general.

Contrast and compare white-hat, script kiddie. These are not FreeBSD-specific terms, but they're included here because the terms are relevant to any security discussion.

The Importance of Imagination

While growing up, Id never really considered how important it is to be imaginative. Its a childhood profession, you could say. It comes naturally. Then we hit an age when were presented with a scantron of bubble-in options, a template for a CV that we need to create, and Excel. At that point, our learning has to fit into certain parameters: within that little bubble, within the one page limit, and within a tiny digital graph. So, what happens to our imagination?It seems to fade.

A Savior At the Grocery Store

Numbly, I left my husband, Marty, at the hospital where I had been visiting two of my children and headed for the grocery store. Since it was eleven p.m., I drove to the only store I knew was open twenty-four hours a day. I turned my car motor off and rested my head against the seat.
