#62The Hacker in Hacker News refers to the subculture, not specifically to security. See http://hack.org/faq-hacker.html .
People not part of the subculture would probably call them nerds :]

#63This post is like 6 months early http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September
You seem to have misunderstood. The point of the "Eternal September" is that the effect that used only to happen once a year started to happen all the time. It was once the case that the newbies and the clueless would flood UseNet in September, the start of the college year, asking the same questions over and over and over again. Then AOL gave internet access to everyone, and so the clueless weren't restricted to just September.
So the fact that this comes now, not in September, is an exemplar of the Eternal September, not an exception.
