Well Ranjeet,
I had said if you dont like MSN dont read ahead. Anyway its your anti-MSN(or MS) thinking talking here. If you check 1) Merriam-Webster: http://m-w.com OR 2) http://www.dictionary.com
You will find that one of the meanings of 'hacker' there will hurt you again. And I hope you will principally not use those websites too. :-).
Amish. P.S. I am a bit against MS too but not blindly against MS. Also point to think over is MS will not earn any money by adding that meaning to hacker.

well, unfortunately, it's been wrongly used for so long, that it has now become mainstream, and is in the dictionary as well.
