For me, it is like calling burglars a locksmith - that don&amp;#x27;t happen and yet we see the word &amp;quot;hacker&amp;quot; used by the media to describe criminal acts so far removed from the words original meaning that it just pains me and i&amp;#x27;m sure many others.  More so when the populus definition of that word now parallels what the media have been putting out for years, it just creates whole generations that will never know what a true hacker is.</text></comment>
