Member since:  "[jabbotts] I might suggest though that if the
person developing the system is not themselves a hacker or
employing hackers they are being negligent in there duties."
"So banks should be employing thieves when they design their
bank vaults? Having a generally idea about how hacking works is
useful, yes, but specific knowledge is worthless for this
purpose."  Wait, how did you get from someone being a hacker to
that person being a thief? Or any sort of criminal for that
matter? Many hackers are in professional occupations and there
is nothing unethical about it.  I think maybe there's cross
talking going on due to a difference in the definition of
"hacker" - yours seems to imply a criminal element, but many
hackers don't consider themselves criminals (and nor does the
law for that matter).  "True but unlikely."
