I guess I don not understand the context in which the word
hacker is being used on the net.  I looked up the definition
and the closest thing I can figure out is that a lot of people
posting news also drive cabs as a side job.  Maybe you have
come up with your own perverted conotation of the word, but
I really think you should stick to dictionary definitions or
at least something close to it!
