I use Hacker in both ways - it should be obvious from the context - if
people are too stupid to follow what you're talking then it's not
worth worrying about semantics.

Personally I'm far more concerned about how the media and much of the
public seem to think 'asylum seeker' means illegal immigrant, rather
than somebody who has had to leave their home, friends, job,
possesions and community through intimidation, violence or despotic
government.
