while it lasted, as I'm sure they'll now "shut down" the topic and move

<div style="">If you do shut it down, and don't want to hear about
the topic, then can we PLEASE clean up our language around hacking,
hackers, and "I've been hacked"? Actually, this is not a question; it's
more of a kindly demand. Since we are all hackers, I have no clue what
the term "I've been hacked" means. If your system becomes compromised,
say so, or fix it, or ask the community to help with code, like we used
to do when we broke into each other's systems. Don't bother us with
your cry wolf, or I - or someone else - will be back with this line.
The line "I've been hacked" sounds like the author either doesn't know
how to speak or ought to get out of computers because said person
doesn't know how to code.</div>

<font face="sans-serif">I agree that the word "hacker" brings to mind
visions of some overweight, glasses-wearing, geek living in his
parent's garage, surrounded by five computers that he built from spare
parts, with all manner of code running......but that's just Hollywood,
in real life, as stated before, "hackers' are hired to be programmers,
and to try to break commercial software while its still in testing
mode, so that they can ship a product that has been put through its
paces. I don't think I would have said I've been hacked, I might have
gone with "compromised"...attacked....maybe even violated"?....LoL! But
that's just me....<br>
