That's All What Do I Want.. Either Should That Media Change the Useage of Word Hacker .. Or.. else.. Hackers Must..Select another.. Word..For Them...
I found this defenition Interesting
However, calling criminals "hackers" makes real hackers angry. Eric Raymond, author of “The New Hacker's Dictionary,” argues, “Real hackers call these people ‘crackers’ and want nothing to do with them... being able to break security doesn’t make you a hacker any more than being able to hot wire cars makes you an automotive engineer. Unfortunately, many journalists and writers have been fooled into using the word ‘hacker’ to describe crackers; this irritates real hackers no end...
“The basic difference is, hackers build things; crackers break them.”

btw. I believe is like, hacking without permission is like breaking into your house in the middle of the night, then waking you up and say
"pssst- i found a problem with your house security, its here and there, fix it"
what would you do? Get up and serve dinner to that guy just because he prevented you from a real robbery? or call the cops and turn him/her in for braking into your house?
