Going to add my two cents on this issue. And mind you I have no ties to 
the government, nor am I a "geeK" (which at one time was attached to the 
word hacker and was usually being someone who wore thick glasses and had 
no life.!) I think the word hacker in this day and age should not be 
viewed in ANY negative way, if it weren't for these hackers, and the 
work they do....sometimes tings wouldn't get "fixed" imagine if the 
"script kiddies who hack into large corporations.....abusing Microsoft 
in EVERY way....well if it weren't for them doing that, then there'd be 
no "patching" and the exploits would remain, people would lose 
money....personal info...and lord knows what else!...and that's just ONE 
scenario!......
