Re: [WikiEN-l] Hacker does not equal Cracker

 In a group dedicated to publishing kludges and various manners of creativity
 with machines (unspecified moderator), that is true. In the popular press,
 of course, since a hacker is human and can be bribed or even supported and
 indoctrinated, crackers are hackers. Hackers are not necessarily crackers.

Hackers aren't crackers, and crackers aren't hackers. Hackers build
things, crackers break things.
