Two different interpretations of the word actually...

In the literal sense - Saw an article today about the newest kind of hacking on the block. No exactly mainstream anytime soon, but makes for interesting read. (Y'know, why can't Hollywood ever come up with anything as out there as reality?)

In the colloquial sense - saw a case today where the customer opened it just to complain that the Location Server they received won't fit in their rack. Not sure what they expect tech support to do about that. My first impulse is to respond: "get bigger rack?" XD

*cough*

The dictionary definition for "hack" includes "One who undertakes unpleasant or distasteful tasks for money or reward", so both those examples are literal interpretations. :p

Of course, the irony here being that "hack" is also "a rack for holding fodder for livestock". Get a bigger rack indeed. XD
