Isn't that our job to keep away from that.
No? Why stop a language from naturally evolving? If we did that from the offset, we would still be going around saying 'ug'. And besides, the job of the mIRC forum is to discuss mIRC. Not necessarily the acceptable use of language.
Hacker is anyway different from a cracker
If you ask someone what they think a hacker is, they will most likely say something along the lines of a malicious user attempting to gain unauthorized access to another computer system. Oh, btw, not even the Oxford dictionary is certain as to what the definition of a 'hacker' is. They're currently (last time I heard) in dispute over this with Eric S. Raymond, so you can't say the above with absolute certainty
Anyway, this has nothing to do with mIRC (not that this thread ever did, really, imo) so as far as I am concerned, end of discussion.
Have a nice day.
