Hacker News Reader

I'm fairly sympathetic to the issue but I've flagged it anyway since I can't seem to find any relation to either hacking or startups.

I saw the news and the videos and is just got my mind going, so I posted it here. The whaling ship is kind of "hacking" the law by hunting whales unter the pretense that it is for scientific research (anything else is outlawed by int'l law I believe). The eco ship is also "hacking" in the sense that it is doing anything it can to stop the other vessel from doing its job without breaking int'l laws (?).

That's got to be the furthest stretch of the word hacking since I saw Michael Jackson be called a hacker here.

The reason why I'm sympathetic to this is because I remember this:

Even if I don't always agree with Greenpeace as an organization their struggle to literally save the wales is a noble cause. The rest of it I'm not so sure about, they are much more of a political and marketing organization now.
