About hacking

[renis]

actually not. hacking is used also for obtaining illegal passes for one accounts. sometimes, cracking is used in the same sense (it actually mean to break, or fracture ...), so, u are not really telling anything and a sense of a word is given by its use, not by authorities

Well... you can define your own "definitions", but hacking and cracking were never used in that mode. There are too many individuals (even businesses) that make the same error. They try to use their own definitions, before they make them standards (by making their self authorities, or certifying their definitions to authorities)

You can use it in whatever mode you want, but that means you are out of standard. And looking that you are not authority in this field, you will be simply not out of "business".

P.S.
A definition used wrongly by too many persons, don't make it right (or standard). It's a question of time before that "definition' will disappear.

there are no right, real definitions. all are conventions and the standard is the usage, not some absolute meaning, a thing in itself. and sicne a lot of people use hacking and cracking like a did, ur definitions are not well suited
 
u like many people who studied philosophy that i know, confuse substance (or subject) with form, and jump into boring discussions about definitions which leads nowhere

boring discussions about definitions which leads nowhere

and yet this one is still going on...

i`m snobish. what i said is also a philosophical position (inspired by Charles Peirce and Ludwig Wittgenstein)

and is a good way to avoid an unending cycle of definitions, but i`ll stop with the definition issue
