(2) A person who reverse engineers software and modifies it for fun. The term often applies to game software. See disassembler.


I don't think we should provide full definitions for terms like this one. I think "(software) cracker" or just "cracker" with the comp tag is enough. We don't specify on sense 1 that it's an edible cracker as opposed to a braggart etc. (the definition that leads in some ei-ei dictionarie)

I think "hot spring area" can suggest an area *outside* of town, as in "Jigokudani Monkey Park is a famous 
hot spring area near Nagano, Japan" -- that area would not be considered a 温泉街 because it's not a 町並み 
(as in Wikipedia's definition -- 温泉の宿泊施設や温浴施設などが立ち並ぶ町並み). 
.
And adding "e.g. within a town" also suggests that it could be outside the town (thanks to the "e.g."). 
.
I suggest that we could say it's a "district", by analogy with the term "red light district", and that we 
should remove the "e.g." since it's necessarily part of a town, and not out in the countryside.

+<gloss>hot spring area (e.g. within a town)</gloss>

"a part of town where hot spring inns or facilities are clustered" -- I think 
that's a nice definition there from GG5, and I think my "resort" is a bit off the 
mark, since it suggests that it's the whole of the town rather than just a part.
.
How about "a part of town with a concentration of hot spring facilities and 
related businesses" or something along those lines?

mountain skills training, and hiking equipment." The examples 
of its use on the Web tend to be connected with Japan.
