Cosplayers are people who love attention but are too insecure to call that attention to themselves without a costume on.
At some Hackathons, there are activities or challenges that involve hacking. Most Hackathons involve zero hacking. It's just a cute name.
How is Chu going against intended design with Jeopardy?
You know, dictionaries. Only the first sentence of your first link suggests that there could be hacking that doesn't involve a computer.
Hacking definitions:
I'm talking about the actual definition of the word. He didn't hack Jeopardy because he's doing what anyone could do. It'd be like saying the first team to run a no huddle offense in football hacked football. Or the first person to attempt a jumpshot in basketball hacked basketball. Hacking something is very different.
Hacking has to do with gaining access to something you're not supposed to have access to. He's using a strategy not employed often by others.

What animosity? What scorn? He's just some random guy winning on Jeopardy and then Kotaku/Gawker is talking about him "HACKING" Jeopardy.

Are these random, public fantasy leagues that people are getting pissed off about? Why would they care if someone took a shitty player?
The state of Oregon doesn't use salt on the roads at all, just deicer and gravel, and survives snowstorms.
Maybe next time take $1,000 out of that $51 billion to get a plumber to take his talents to the lodgings.
He hacked Jeopardy in the same way that offensive coordinators hack football or the way Kasparov hacked chess.
This is very true.
I went to Seattle a few years ago for a Niners game when both teams were bad and I still almost got my head kicked in. Never again.
I've watched Jeopardy for a long time and I love this guy.
