[CS-FSLUG] Who's Afraid of a Big Bad Hacking Story?

[Yamandu Ploskonka]

+1 all the way.

Big Media wants to own truth. So it is a priority of them to keep silent 
those vocal, those able to find and disseminate information, those who 
think, those who are not sheeple. Thus, misusing the word "hacker" is 
likely in the orders that frontline journalists are forced to obey, even 
though "cracker" especially in context., would be so much more accurate.

I did debate this point in Wikipedia, and also blogged about it, 
following a post by a challenger to Rep. Lamar Smith, our friend from 
SOPA, who was careless with the word. Eventually he twitted that he 
agreed with me...

http://richardmorgan.com/ this is the guy taking on one of the most 
powerful members of Congress.
He's a Believer, strong and active on Creationism and Pro Life - those 
are the subjects trolls attack him with in Reddit.
