HACKERS? NO WAY.
(...) Hackers were driven to write code, discover the secrets of the new realm of computation and fulfill themselves by making computers do what others claimed could not be done. (...) Now, it's true that some hackers didn't march in precise lockstep with the legal system. But real hackers hew to the famous Bob Dylan line: 1. _____. Yes, they broke into computers sometimes. Yes, they sometimes engaged in callow stunts. Sometimes the stunts would even get out of hand. But they wished no harm on innocent parties, and certainly didn't do those things for profit. Generally, hackers don't want to stop the world; they want the world to run more efficiently.

In the mid-1980s, the media began to indiscriminately apply the term to any kids who broke into computers. True hackers objected, to little avail. 2. _____. Wizards who wrote the software of the past 20 years proudly called themselves hackers, and some made fortunes. And the pure spirit of outlaw hacking still thrives. A former MIT hacker named Richard Stallman believes that intellectual property is an evil concept. 3. _____. He created his own software and gave it away.

(...)Will we continue to see computer fraudsters, vandals and thieves proliferating as the technology penetrates ever deeper into our lives? Of course. And it's not surprising that some of the perps blabber about fighting globalization and dress like extras in "Blade Runner". 4._____. Just because the tools of thievery and extortion are lines of computer code doesn't mean that Internet crooks are hackers.
Adapted from Newsweek, December 2003.

CZĘŚĆ I:
A. But the great traditions continued.
B. To live outside the law you must be honest.
C. The growth of population is inevitable, although it concerns mainly the Third World countries.
D. He is the father of the hacker - driven Open Source movement that Microsoft considers its biggest competitor.
E. But that doesn't make them hackers.

Have you heard of mushers? They are people who drive dog sledges. Every year, on the first Saturday in March, 60 to 75 teams of mushers from around the world start the Iditarod, Alaska's famous sled-dog race. The race goes from Anchorage to the city of Nome.

How did the Iditarod start? In 1925, there was a diphtheria epidemic in Nome. Serum was sent from Anchorage to protect Nome's children. But it was very far. The serum was transported by train as far as possible. But then the train lines stopped. There were still 625 miles to cross in a cold, hostile environment. There was only one solution ... The first dog team left on January 28th, with temperatures of -45°C! Men and their dogs transported the serum, warming it occasionally. On February 2nd, the serum finally arrived in Nome. Hundreds of children were saved.

The Iditarod was started in 1973, to commemorate this. The route is symbolically 1049 miles long: 1000 (a round number) plus 49 (Alaska is the 49th U.S. state). The race starts in Anchorage: a team leaves every two minutes. There are more than twenty checkpoints on the Iditarod, some in Eskimo villages. The mushers' dogs are Huskies, Malamutes and Samoyeds. These dogs love to run, to make their masters happy, and their masters want to come first in the race.

The lead dogs are the ones who best obey the mushers' commands. They are generally the mushers' favorites. When the dogs are not running, they live outside, attached on long chains near a dog house. Many mushers raise their own dogs. Others borrow or rent them. A musher knows all his dogs' names and he sometimes has 150 dogs!

The mushers come from England, Germany, Japan, France, Australia and the U.S. They travel across mountains, the frozen Yukon River, forests and ice fields, all in the horrible cold. With temperatures of -55°C, the mushers have to wear warm clothes. They do it for the love of it, but there are many dangers, too: dangers of being lost, getting stuck in the snow, bad weather, and animals that can attack the dogs. The race is difficult. But to the people who do the Iditarod, the Alaskan silence is the most beautiful sound in the world. They really enjoy it.
