I like Stallman's idea of it more.

> Thus, hacking means exploring the limits of what is possible, in a spirit of playful cleverness.

It seems to me more appropriate, More effective, better descriptive, less limiting.

Not that being a hacker means one also has to be good at writing what an hacker is, but Stallman is showing some true hacker spirit here I think.
