[citation][nom]halls[/nom]To be fair, "hacker" wasn't always a malicious term when it came to computers. You used to call any programmer a "hacker" because they were trying to make things work or were a hobbyist.[/citation]

The issue isn't really about the logical or actual definition of the word 'hacker'.

The issue is that the public perception of 'hacking' is that it is illegal and malicious, and as such it's a bad marketing move.
