I have a simple question: What the hell dose this rant have to

"Community Support For Fedora Users"??????????

If you do shut it down, and don't want to hear about the topic, then
can we PLEASE clean up our language around hacking, hackers, and "I've
been hacked"? Actually, this is not a question; it's more of a kindly
demand. Since we are all hackers, I have no clue what the term "I've
been hacked" means. If your system becomes compromised, say so, or fix
it, or ask the community to help with code, like we used to do when we
broke into each other's systems. Don't bother us with your cry wolf,
or I - or someone else - will be back with this line. The line "I've
been hacked" sounds like the author either doesn't know how to speak
or ought to get out of computers because said person doesn't know how
to code.

I agree that the word "hacker" brings to mind visions of some
overweight, glasses-wearing, geek living in his parent's garage,
surrounded by five computers that he built from spare parts, with all
manner of code running......but that's just Hollywood, in real life, as
stated before, "hackers' are hired to be programmers, and to try to
break commercial software while its still in testing mode, so that they
can ship a product that has been put through its paces. I don't think I
would have said I've been hacked, I might have gone with
"compromised"...attacked....maybe even violated"?....LoL! But that's
just me....
