In the term "hack value" it also acquired a meaning of anything that was simultaneously fun and clever. A hack is not just stealing or destroying data. A hack is also not just an elegant solution, it can also be an "ugly" solution for something, that could have been accomplished much easier if you could fully access it.

I cant mention Lego often enough. LOL You mean finding alternate ways of accomplishing something given the poor functionality of RF. This is not hacking. Clever? Sure, but not hacking. actually the origin of the slang "hack" is just a term coined by computer programmers who use it to describe a solution that required some unconventional methods/thought ... But now days it seems like its a term only used for illegal methods to gain access to servers ... Page 2 Multiple Page Topic : 1 2
