hacking origin predates computers and perhaps started as someone in a<br>
jungle holding a machete. also Jason from the movie halloween. he was<br>
a ridiculously famous hacker. that was the common parlance at the<br>
time.<br>
<br>
language changes, though we are wont to resist it.<br>
<br>
we can consider that language doesn't come from groups of people<br>
agreeing to follow dictionary rules. rather, dictionary rules come<br>
from following common usage of sounds and phrases.<br>
<br>
indeed, there was a time not too long ago that "computer hacking" as<br>
it is commonly used today was not part of the dictionary definition.<br>
but that has changed.<br>
