I think you misunderstand where the MTV producers are coming from. What's their target audience again? 12-22 or something like that? On average, how many 12-22 yr. old's actually KNOW the difference between "hacker" and "cracker"? As for this article being a "slap in the face" I have to say, that I agree. We don't really need to know which jounalist is writing which story. This is news that matters. C'mon people, give us something that matters. And I totally agree with you about the power of wording. Why is that I wonder? Saying you have the "power" to do something and saying that you've "done" something are totally different things and treated with a totally different level of respect. Zxer0
