s/hacked/cracked/ It is true that the media has been misusing the term 'hacking' for many years. It doesn't mean we should too. Hackers are programmers who are passionate about programming, and who take solving problems to the highest level. Whom you are referring to are called 'crackers'. You are in a Free/Open Source Software mailing list. Let the true meaning and spirit remain atleast on such mailing lists.
