If you look at the "The Jargon Dictionary : The Meaning of `Hack'"
<URL: http://info.astrian.net/jargon/Hacker_Folklore/The_Meaning_of_Hack.html >
you see the following definition:
Hacking might be characterized as `an appropriate application of
ingenuity'. Whether the result is a quick-and-dirty patchwork
job or a carefully crafted work of art, you have to admire the
cleverness that went into it.
I think the Hebrew (slang) verb "tachmen" (&tav;&het;&mem;&fnun;) fits nicely.
The related nouns are easly derived from it (e.g. happy hacking -
tichmun na'im - &tav;&het;&mem;&vav;&fnun; &nun;&ayin;&yod;&fmem;). This has the advantage that the its
established conotation is very close to hacking as we want it to be:
changing the system by its own rules, not by breaking it or the law.
As an exercise, try to translate (fully) the following sentence:
I'm hacking the driver of the universal serial bus (USB) 2.0.
Ehud.
