i hate the term "hacker"... when someone says "hey that guy's a hacker"... i'm thinking "wooooooooo... a hacker..." ... why dont they just call hackers/crackers criminals... and hackers(the good kind) software engineers.. or programmers.. or software experts.. gurus.... the term hacker is so 1990's.
