hmmm.... I stopped reading when I had seen the two first lines of the article. I refuse to read an article where a criminal is called a hacker (good thing no1 is forcing me to read it, hehe). This is wrong. You can go to MIT or something and study to become a professonal hacker. If it was some criminal profession then it wouldn't be taught at schools!
Call the ppl that break the law criminals. Doesn't matter if they use a computer to break the law, they're still criminals. Call 'em crackers, if u have the guts (the meaning of that word is just about as clouded as that of the word "hacker"). Well, now u know.
