"Hacking"

== Hacking ==
Hacking is a commonly used term in the BWMC, and it is something I find somewhat flawed. How do empires which have existed hundreds of years apart from one another hack eachother with COMPLETELY different computer programming languages? Are we to assume that the galaxy used 1 universal language? Hardware compatibility wouldn't be there to facilitate such a thing. Aside from civil war and conflict between closely knit partners, I don't see that hacking would be at all an effective combat measure.
