Hacking: breaking into computer systems.
Cracking: removing software protection.

Umm...me?
When somebody says 'gay' the very first thing that comes into my mind is 'happy.' But I'm sure there are many 'gay people' who are also gay, along with just being gay.

Must be a "generational thing." ;D


    "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone. "It means just what I choose it to mean - neither more or less."
    "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
    "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."
