Blasted media types breaking established word usage...
Anyone who thinks "hackers" are bad, go:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/H/hacker.html
Anyone who thinks "hacking" is bad, ditto.
Hacking is an art form. The media can't be bothered to use the right words ("cracker" is what they generally mean when they say "hacker") and as a result everyone whinges about hackers.
True hackers brought you the Internet, the PC as you know it, and a wide variety of other stuff.
Now stop being all uppity about "hackers" FSODing you, or I'll come round there with my lowly Gigush+9 and beat you to death with it =)
