Difference (from prior major revision) (minor diff, author diff)

Added: 46a47,55
I checked the jargon file (as the first place to look)
It defines a Guru as someone who has a "wizard?" level of skill, AND is known as a person who is a knowlege resource to others.

Checking the link to wizard reveals that a wizard is someone who has extensive knowlege of a certain subject.

I think the sum of this is that a guru hacker and a computer scientist will often be the same thing, contrary to what is currently being said here.
