You know the term wasn't all that positive in its earlier use. Using hacks
instead of doing things right isn't a good thing. (Though it might be good
in some cases to trade off time and effort now against future costs.)

Perhaps next time someone gets an interview with the media we could call
them idiots, just as bad as Fox; they don't allow our side of the story.
Many phenomenal discoveries have come from the likes of a "hack"!
Discoveries like the Higgs boson came about in such a way, found (not
necessarily the Higgs) by mistake while we were looking for something else.
Hacks were also helpful in discovering holes, or breeches in other's
software.
