Hacker enables dual boot with Windows on Chromebooks with AMD chips – Computer – News

nice of you to claim that, but do you have a source for that or does it only apply to you and your hacker friends? – of course that sounds a bit condescending, but you also have to remember that language is first created by ‘the language rules’ and only then by organic language use, and lastly by apotion of commonly used language.

you could say that ‘printing out’ is wrong ‘because running or printing’ – but if everyone makes this mistake long enough then it will eventually become right – but the point is, it is only right when it is find that it is no longer wrong.

So it MAY be that your definition of hacker, in 10 to 25 years time, will be labeled as commonplace and therefore good, but until then what you are saying is simply incorrect. ‘the dictionary says = so it is certainly true here. Only in case of obvious incorrect information could you go to the publisher and have it corrected, but then you must provide sources that prove you are right.

and then your comment about hacker and cracker – that is most definitely nonsense.
yes the word hacker has been around for a long time and so has cracker but certainly not in the sense you mean it.

traditionally there were hackers who broke into networks and systems for good or bad purposes, and there were crackers who broke protections (usually copy protection). hackers were thus active in the security scene and crackers in the warez scene. that a group of persistent screamers at one point wanted to change those terms for lack of a nickname for ‘well-meaning’ hackers is almost childish.
