This is exactly the same as your "What is an algorithm?" question. http://delphi.about.com/library/glossary/bldefapi.htm?terms=API Looking for great places to eat in Grand Junction?

The use of "hacker" to mean "security breaker" is a confusion on the part of the mass media. We hackers refuse to recognize that meaning, and continue using the word to mean, "Someone who loves to program and enjoys being clever about it." -------------------- "Its not a bug, its a feature" (Epic Games)
