Well, the word "ninja/ninjya" (by itself) is a Japanese secret agent of old -- someone who is very good at hiding. I don't know if this is an appropriate term/postfix to replace hacker.
Coincidentally, "nin" means "kernel" in Japanese. I suppose you could extend "nin" to "ningennijyou" -- which means superhuman.
Hell no, I don't mind! As long as it indicates some sort of intensity...
This could all be one *huge* inside joke/verb/whatever. Imagine the possibilities! Wanker1: I'm going to wank now... Wanker2: With what magazine? Wanker1: Dr. Dobbs or Wanker: I'm going to wank now... CommonPerson1: I'm leaving!
Most people who don't understand how I spend my time (coding, Linuxing, etc) describe my activities as "computer wanking." I guess that makes me a wanker, but in the company of other wankers, it's not all that bad:-) One trait I've observed in hacker buddies is general laziness, but not when working on computer-related stuff. How about "slacker," or some expression that implies a selective condition?
Unless I'm horribly mistaken, doesn't Australia have all sorts of TV shows involving nudity? I remember watching some series on HBO a while ago with clips from game shows all around the world. The contestants on this particular.au show were all naked!
So, does the film commission not govern TV shows? If it does, then nudity must be acceptable, no? If nudity is ok, certainly websites that contain images of nudity should also be considered decent/acceptable in the same manner that the TV shows are.
TurboLinux/Japanese is the only distribution of Linux I've ever found that can advertise complete Japanese language support. The installation and management desktop for root (running Afterstep) is in Japanese. The package tool, turbopkg, is quite handy and can pull updated RPMs off of PHT's FTP server. I've given the CD (English version) to many people in my dorm (mostly Linux newbies) and all agree that it's easy to install -- after forcing most of them to try Slackware, Caldera, and RedHat.:)
Most importantly, it stays out of your face like Slackware, but it has a nice set of console-based tools to help you administer your system.

Ya know, I find myself grepping daily. Both non-coders and coders alike use grep on a regular basis, no? (Excluding Windows folk).
I'd settle for "grepper"

What about Macaulay Caulkin? Hmm? :)
