I've heard this argument for years from the ranks of the computer elite (ie geeks)

You can get as offended as you want, but the simple fact is that years ago the general public (ie nongeeks) heisted the term hacker, and there is no amount of whining, begging, complaining that you can do that is going to change it.

If you were smart, you'd get on with your life and come up with a cool new term...

Its a fact of life.. Countries get invaded, people and puppies die, terms are stolen and used in improper contexts...
