Comment [Cr|H]acker (Score 1) 69
I'm forced to concurr. This is a silly topic dealing with semantics and 'know-it-all' ism.
Does it really matter that "they" misuse the term ? What is the definition of a word other than what is generally accepted, or written in a dictionnary ?
It is as though we are all so self-righteous that only WE know the REAL definition of hacker (as opposed to cracker).
This reminds me of the whole nonsense regarding the word 'queer' and it's re-capture. As far as I'm concerned, 'queer' will always be a derogatory way of referring to homosexuals, much as hacker will always be the word to refer to crackers, and script kiddies (and maybe hackers by our definition too).
