RE: Paris Hilton Hacker Banned From The Internet
OK, so Paris Hilton was stupid, but what the guy did was unauthorised access of someone else's account. That is a crime.

<offtopic>
Anubis, 'hacker' can also be applied to anyone trying to find weaknesses in anything in order to propose fixes, or someone that writes code that runs in someone else's process.
Therefore, several plugin authors are hackers (including me), as is Patchou. We all write programs that run in Messenger's process space, so we need to 'hack' into Messenger to find out where to inject code, what to subclass, what hooks are needed etc.

The problem with using the word 'hacker' comes from the media twisting it's meaning to cover such practices if they are employed maliciously. Myself, I'd be all to happy to say I'm a hacker to fellow coders, but in the everyday world I steer clear of that word.
