cracker

The word "Cracker" was coined in the south by white slave owners. Slave owning whites refered to non slave owning, or poor whites as "crackers." Although it is considered in this day and age to be derogitory word for whites, if you know the history behind the word it is actually a form of flattery.

"You ignorant cracker, the word didn't come from the sound of a whip!"

cracker

A computer expert who specialises in removing protection mechanisms from commercial software. These protections often limit (cripple) the software functionality or render the software unoperatable after a certain number of uses or when a expiry date is reached.
This activity is ilegal in many countries because it forces the software developers to increase the price of their products in order to recover lost revenue.
A cracker will usually have low level programming experience and a detailed technical understanding of commercial software protections.

Hardware protections are the best defence against crackers because they require great technical expertise to circumvent.

cracker

A "talker" in the sense of a Gaelic word meaning talk..."craic". The term was originally used to describe Scots, Irish and Ulster-Scots and -Irish (many of whom settled in the Southern US) with the "gift of gab". As these folks were almost exclusively Caucasian, it somehow (don't know) evolved into a derogatory term for them.

"and the crack (craic) was good"- from Van Morrison's "Coney Island". He's a cracker.
