1. One day Sarah and her little son Ben were driving home from London. The weather was fine and warm though it had been raining since morning. They hadn’t been to their place for a long time and they could see some changes. “Mum, look, a new house is being built in our street near our cottage”. Sarah’s cottage was a nice little place. They moved there in 1989. It was theirs though in fact they hadn’t paid all the money for it yet. They arrived, got out of the car and came into the house. Sarah took off her bag from her shoulders and put it on the stairs in the hall.
Ben ran into the sitting room, turned on the television though his mother had forbidden him to do it. The boy made the TV work very noisily. Sarah left the house,and took the food-box from the car. At that moment their dog pushed the door and it locked. Sarah couldn’t get inside. The keys were in the bag, the windows and the back door were closed and Ben didn’t hear her shouting.

Originally called hackers programmers for a bug in the software in any fast and not always elegant (in the context of the program used in programming style and its overall structure, interface design), or in a professional way, the word hack has come from the lexicon of the hippies, in the Russian language is identical to the slang word "cut one's way." Hackers often identify with cracker - crackers (born cracker, on to crack - split, crush), but this use of the word "hacker" is incorrect.
Hackers called, for example, Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Larry Wall, Donald Knuth, Bjarne Stroustrup, Eric Raymond [citation needed 571 days], Andrew Tanenbaum and other creators of the open systems world-class. In Russia, the prime example is the hacker Chris Kasperski.
Sometimes the term is used to refer to specialists in general - in the context that they have a very detailed knowledge of any issues or have enough non-standard and constructive thinking. Since the appearance of the word in the form of computer term (1960), he has appeared new and often different values.
