  1. Bad use of the word hack by felipeal · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'm not aware of the details, but it seems objprelink is rather a "hack", i.e. a quick change that doesn't address the whole issue.

    I undesrtand what he tried to explain, but I think it gives a negative conotation to term "hack", which already has a bad reputation of meaning "crack" (thanks mainly to the mainstream press).

    Given the fact that the audience of the site is not yout typical Joe-AOL dude, the author could have ommitted that i.e. explanation without compromising his answer...
