   {cracker}.
  
      The term `hacker' also tends to connote membership in the global
   community defined by the net (see {the network} and {Internet
   address}).   For discussion of some of the basics of this culture,
   see the How To Become A Hacker
   (http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html) FAQ. It also
   implies that the person described is seen to subscribe to some
   version of the hacker ethic (see {hacker ethic}).
  
      It is better to be described as a hacker by others than to describe
   oneself that way.   Hackers consider themselves something of an
   elite (a meritocracy based on ability), though one to which new
   members are gladly welcome.   There is thus a certain ego
   satisfaction to be had in identifying yourself as a hacker (but if
   you claim to be one and are not, you'll quickly be labeled {bogus}).
   See also {wannabee}.
  
      This term seems to have been first adopted as a badge in the 1960s
   by the hacker culture surrounding TMRC and the MIT AI Lab.   We have
   a report that it was used in a sense close to this entry's by teenage
   radio hams and electronics tinkerers in the mid-1950s.
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   hacker
  
      (Originally, someone who makes furniture with
      an axe) 1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of
      programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as
      opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum
      necessary.
  
      2. One who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who
      enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about
      programming.
  
      3. A person capable of appreciating {hack value}.
  
      4. A person who is good at programming quickly.
  
      5. An expert at a particular program, or one who frequently
      does work using it or on it; as in "a {Unix} hacker".
      (Definitions 1 through 5 are correlated, and people who fit
      them congregate.)
  
      6. An expert or enthusiast of any kind.   One might be an
      astronomy hacker, for example.
  
      7. One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively
      overcoming or circumventing limitations.
  
      8. (Deprecated) A malicious meddler who tries to discover
      sensitive information by poking around.   Hence "password
      hacker", "network hacker".   The correct term is {cracker}.
  
      The term "hacker" also tends to connote membership in the
      global community defined by the net (see {The Network} and
      {Internet address}).   It also implies that the person
      described is seen to subscribe to some version of the {hacker
      ethic}.
  
      It is better to be described as a hacker by others than to
      describe oneself that way.   Hackers consider themselves
      something of an elite (a meritocracy based on ability), though
      one to which new members are gladly welcome.   Thus while it is
      gratifying to be called a hacker, false claimants to the title
      are quickly labelled as "bogus" or a "{wannabee}".
  
      9. (University of Maryland, rare) A programmer who does not
      understand proper programming techniques and principles and
      doesn't have a Computer Science degree.   Someone who just
      bangs on the keyboard until something happens.   For example,
      "This program is nothing but {spaghetti code}.   It must have
      been written by a hacker".

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hagar
      flight, or, according to others, stranger, an Egyptian, Sarah's
      handmaid (Gen. 16:1; 21:9, 10), whom she gave to Abraham (q.v.)
      as a secondary wife (16:2). When she was about to become a
      mother she fled from the cruelty of her mistress, intending
      apparently to return to her relatives in Egypt, through the
      desert of Shur, which lay between. Wearied and worn she had
      reached the place she distinguished by the name of
      Beer-lahai-roi ("the well of the visible God"), where the angel
      of the Lord appeared to her. In obedience to the heavenly
      visitor she returned to the tent of Abraham, where her son
      Ishmael was born, and where she remained (16) till after the
      birth of Isaac, the space of fourteen years. Sarah after this
      began to vent her dissatisfaction both on Hagar and her child.
      Ishmael's conduct was insulting to Sarah, and she insisted that
      he and his mother should be dismissed. This was accordingly
      done, although with reluctance on the part of Abraham (Gen.
      21:14). They wandered out into the wilderness, where Ishmael,
      exhausted with his journey and faint from thirst, seemed about
      to die. Hagar "lifted up her voice and wept," and the angel of
      the Lord, as before, appeared unto her, and she was comforted
      and delivered out of her distresses (Gen. 21:18, 19).
     
         Ishmael afterwards established himself in the wilderness of
      Paran, where he married an Egyptian (Gen. 21:20,21).
     
         "Hagar" allegorically represents the Jewish church (Gal.
      4:24), in bondage to the ceremonial law; while "Sarah"
      represents the Christian church, which is free.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hasrah
      poverty, "keeper of the wardrobe," i.e., of the sacerdotal
      vestments (2 Chr. 34:22); called Harhas 2 Kings 22:14. He was
      husband of the prophetess Huldah.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hazor
      enclosed; fortified. (1.) A stronghold of the Canaanites in the
      mountains north of Lake Merom (Josh. 11:1-5). Jabin the king
      with his allied tribes here encountered Joshua in a great
      battle. Joshua gained a signal victory, which virtually
      completed his conquest of Canaan (11:10-13). This city was,
      however, afterwards rebuilt by the Canaanites, and was ruled by
      a king with the same hereditary name of Jabin. His army, under a
      noted leader of the name of Sisera, swept down upon the south,
      aiming at the complete subjugation of the country. This powerful
      army was met by the Israelites under Barak, who went forth by
      the advice of the prophetess Deborah. The result was one of the
      most remarkable victories for Israel recorded in the Old
      Testament (Josh. 19:36; Judg. 4:2; 1 Sam. 12:9). The city of
      Hazor was taken and occupied by the Israelites. It was fortified
      by Solomon to defend the entrance into the kingdom from Syria
      and Assyria. When Tiglath-pileser, the Assyrian king, invaded
      the land, this was one of the first cities he captured, carrying
      its inhabitants captive into Assyria (2 Kings 15:29). It has
      been identified with Khurbet Harrah, 2 1/2 miles south-east of
      Kedesh.
     
         (2.) A city in the south of Judah (Josh. 15:23). The name here
      should probably be connected with the word following, Ithnan,
      HAZOR-ITHNAN instead of "Hazor and Ithnan."
     
         (3.) A district in Arabia (Jer. 49:28-33), supposed by some to
      be Jetor, i.e., Ituraea.
     
         (4.) "Kerioth and Hezron" (Josh. 15: 25) should be
      "Kerioth-hezron" (as in the R.V.), the two names being joined
      together as the name of one place (e.g., like Kirjath-jearim),
      "the same is Hazor" (R.V.). This place has been identified with
      el-Kuryetein, and has been supposed to be the home of Judas
      Iscariot. (See {KERIOTH}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hezir
      swine or strong. (1.) The head of the seventeenth course of the
      priests (1 Chr. 24:15). (2.) Neh. 10:20, one who sealed
      Nehemiah's covenant.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hezro
      a Carmelite, one of David's warriors (1 Chr. 11:37).
