- xcdzvyn 3y agoI'll gladly agree to disagree, but I still think there was some degree of ingenuity involved in the whistle thing that would make it "hacking", whereas these kids basically just called a phone number.
- smcl 3y agoYeah the main thing is - terminology aside - if you can easily bring a nation's rail network to a standstill then that's a bit of a problem.
- ilyt 3y agoBack then "hack" didn't really meant what it means now. Now it is much more of a blanket term for near-anything
- nxobject 3y agoI'll admit, I find that this question goes alongside "is a hotdog a taco or sandwich?" in my box of amusing questions to think about on the toilet.
