Well I know what the term hacker means, but we are not using hacker we are using hacking. which according to google means

Quote:
Unauthorized use, or attempts to circumvent or bypass the security mechanisms of an information system or network.
it also means according to google
Quote:
Practice of raising animals in captivity, acclimating them to natural conditions and then releasing them into the wild (referred to in regard to bald eagles).
Remember that there are multiple meanings to alot of words. I don't know if you know but Geek originally ment a person in the sideshow act at a carnival who did disgusting things normally bite the heads off of chickens.

I am willing to change the rule to Hacking/Cracking just to make sure everyone knows what I mean. But actually breaking into others computers is normally referred to as Hacking so that is why it was used over Cracking
