It does in this case, There are many meanings to word, but putting them in a cetain context makes them clear, and if you cannot see that 'hack' in this context mean to change the programmers original content. Then I suggest you get the other two mederators to read it, then if they think it is fine. I suggest you get steve to read that CCC is now a place for people to post rewards to program hackers of chess programmers. And if he thinks it is fine then you can leave this illegal activity up here. > >bruce Bruce this line of thread should be given the boot. He is clearly asking for someone to hack a program, thus changing the programmers original program. And even worse he is putting up a price for someone to do this. So all I can see is that the moderators are allowing people to come in here and put up a reward for someone to crack and hack a program. You can come make all the comments you want, this is very clear, and is also very illegal.
