After trick

Speedier Sites use CSS Sprites
An Image Sprite is simply multiple images combined into one image. Using the background-position in CSS you can display a specific image from the image sprite.
Sprites reduce the number of files that are requested and downloaded by site visitors, resulting in noticeable decreases in Page-Loading times, Bandwidth usage, and Server loads.

Hacking and Hackers
The use of "hacker" to mean "security breaker" is a confusion on the part of the mass media. We hackers refuse to recognize that meaning, and continue using the word to mean someone who loves to program, someone who enjoys playful cleverness, or the combination of the two. See my article, On Hacking.
