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.
