I think you are probably well aware now that your terminology is in fact incorrect - I would actually hire a HACKER and be proud of it (kinda afterall theyre a strange beast). Its unfortunate that you used hacker where you shouldve used CRACKER.

HACKER is a bonafide term with positive connotations within the industry and amounts to anyone who can in fact edit code ie legitimate programmers???.

A CRACKER is the nasty little bugger that cracks and penetrates others websites and does all the weird stuff we dont like exactly like the silly immature little shit your article kindly details.
