&#62; "Hacker" comes from the verb "to hack", which is an expression that originated in the 50's of the previous century on the MIT and means solving a technical problem in an unique way.<p>bzzt, wrong. It originally means riding a horse around the English countryside for fun.<p><a href="http://www.ruralsports.co.uk/hacking.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ruralsports.co.uk/hacking.html</a><p>And here's what you wear while doing it<p><a href="http://www.countrysupplies.com/list.asp?deptid=668" rel="nofollow">http://www.countrysupplies.com/list.asp?deptid=668</a>
