A lot of us vowed to try to keep the "hackers" vs "crackers" distinction alive in the public's mind but I can't say it worked.
Yeah, that battle had already been lost by the time I entered the field (even though I tried to fight it for a while anyway.)
Having lost that battle I guess the term "Makers" is used today.
I will note that "hackerspace" seems to be somewhat more common parlance than "makerspace" in the circles I operate in as a description of "area where a bunch of people in various disciplines go to create things in a shared environment", so that's some reclamation of what I would consider the original meaning of "hacker". -- Josh
