It's really sad. I saw this poor schmuck on "Want to be a millionaire" 
once. His second question was "What is a hacker?" I don't remember all 
of the alternatives but two of them was "A computer programmer" and 
"Someone illegally using a computer".
He answered 'computer programmer'... guess what was the 'correct one'.

I guess he was lucky though... it could have been the one million question.
