I agree. 100%. From the Jargon file:
"8. (Deprecated) A malicious meddler who tries to discover sensitive
information by poking around. Hence "password hacker", "network hacker".
The correct term is {cracker}."
See, the term's deprecated. Time to start using the proper term. Perhaps
someone should email people like Erwin Lemuel G. Oliva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
who wrote the Inquirer InfoTech article "Hackers launch attacks to 'teach'
RP a lesson" and let him know that it's "Crackers" and not "Hackers"? Or
actually more appropriate, "Script kiddies ...". But then maybe he's
scared of AsianPride, too. ;>
