From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   hacker ethic n.   1. The belief that information-sharing is a
   powerful positive good, and that it is an ethical duty of hackers to
   share their expertise by writing open-source and facilitating access
   to information and to computing resources wherever possible.   2. The
   belief that system-cracking for fun and exploration is ethically OK
   as long as the cracker commits no theft, vandalism, or breach of
   confidentiality.
  
      Both of these normative ethical principles are widely, but by no
   means universally, accepted among hackers. Most hackers subscribe to
   the hacker ethic in sense 1, and many act on it by writing and
   giving away open-source software.   A few go further and assert that
   _all_ information should be free and _any_ proprietary control of it
   is bad; this is the philosophy behind the {GNU} project.
  
      Sense 2 is more controversial: some people consider the act of
   cracking itself to be unethical, like breaking and entering.   But
   the belief that `ethical' cracking excludes destruction at least
   moderates the behavior of people who see themselves as `benign'
   crackers (see also {samurai}).   On this view, it may be one of the
   highest forms of hackerly courtesy to (a) break into a system, and
   then (b) explain to the sysop, preferably by email from a
   {superuser} account, exactly how it was done and how the hole can be
   plugged -- acting as an unpaid (and unsolicited) {tiger team}.
  
      The most reliable manifestation of either version of the hacker
   ethic is that almost all hackers are actively willing to share
   technical tricks, software, and (where possible) computing resources
   with other hackers.   Huge cooperative networks such as {Usenet},
   {FidoNet} and Internet (see {Internet address}) can function without
   central control because of this trait; they both rely on and
   reinforce a sense of community that may be hackerdom's most valuable
   intangible asset.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hazar-addar
      village of Addar, a place in the southern boundary of Palestine
      (Num. 34:4), in the desert to the west of Kadesh-barnea. It is
      called Adar in Josh. 15:3.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hazar-hatticon
      village of the midway, a place near Hamath in the confines of
      Hauran (Ezek. 47:16), probably on the north brow of Hermon.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hazeroth
      fenced enclosures consisting of "a low wall of stones in which
      thick bundles of thorny acacia are inserted, the tangled
      branches and long needle-like spikes forming a perfectly
      impenetrable hedge around the encampment" of tents and cattle
      which they sheltered. Such like enclosures abound in the
      wilderness of Paran, which the Israelites entered after leaving
      Sinai (Num. 11:35; 12:16; 33:17, 18). This third encampment of
      the Israelites has been identified with the modern 'Ain
      el-Hudhera, some 40 miles north-east of Sinai. Here Miriam
      (q.v.), being displeased that Moses had married a Cushite wife
      (Num. 12:1), induced Aaron to join with her in rebelling against
      Moses. God vindicated the authority of his "servant Moses," and
      Miriam was smitten with leprosy. Moses interceded for her, and
      she was healed (Num. 12:4-16). From this encampment the
      Israelites marched northward across the plateau of et-Tih, and
      at length reached KADESH.

      Jebrin.
