This reminds me of a word suggested by a coworker of mine a few years back. He meant it as a translator to Hacker, but what he actually meant, was of course a Cracker, making the usual mistake. Anyway, the word he suggested for Cracker is "Partzan". I think it has a rather nice sound to it. About Hacker - ummm... Dunno.
