Default The more adequete Description of "Hacker"

Those defintions were from Marrian-Webster online. www.m-w.com

I guess another question to ask is whether or not you dislike being referred to as a "hacker"?

Myself, the term tends to lend to the connotation of the destructive type. Therefore, being referred to as a hacker offends me.
