Unfortunately the modern english dictionary is written by the likes of Stevin
Speilburg and his industry in collaboration with Oprah Winphrey and Sam Donaldson's
writers.

And unfortunately they've managed to change the definition of the term Hacker.
As long as the public sees the word Hacker as the kind of people who write computer
viruses then in effect that is what the term will mean.
