See? Even you are doing it. Hacking isn't bad, but the common (and incorrect) connotation is that it is bad. I'm sure people who don't know would think that, based on the sound of it, "wardriving" has to be something bad. Of course, expecting a journalist to qualify these words properly is like expecting a politician to keep his / her word - it's nice when it happens, but nobody has any realistic expectations that it will happen.
