A Portrait of J. Random Hacker          This profile reflects detailed comments on an earlier `trial balloon'    version from about a hundred Usenet respondents.   Where comparatives    are used, the implicit `other' is a randomly selected segment of the    non-hacker population of the same size as hackerdom.          An important point: Except in some relatively minor respects such as    slang vocabulary, hackers don't get to be the way they are by imitating    each other.   Rather, it seems to be the case that the combination of    personality traits that makes a hacker so conditions one's outlook on    life that one tends to end up being like other hackers whether one    wants to or not (much as bizarrely detailed similarities in behavior    and preferences are found in genetic twins raised separately).
