No one can be that stupid, can you? You wrote it. You were the one deliberately being a jackass over the issue. I'm calling you out on it. You're getting perilously close to turning this into a straw man argument. I think that it's very safe to say that ever since the 1980s the term "being hacked" has been well understood to mean just what I, and others, in this thread have said. Buggering around obtusely or inappropriately with something to gain unauthorised access *is* hacking. Hacked the website, hacking the phone company... *We* all understand what that means. It's merely breaking something to do what you want it, instead. And unless they actually did crack the password or encrypting, cracking is a less appropriate term. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.8.8-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 17 17:15:40 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
