The word may imply different things in different context. When used in the Free Software or academic circles, it is what KK defines it as. For a lay person, when used in a technical context, it almost always implies cracking. When used in context of farming it means cutting grass. When used in the military/terrorist/killer context, it means killing people. -- Siddhesh Poyarekar http://siddhesh.in -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
