Yeah, a lot of people hate windows too dang much.

Linux users are the worst "nix is so superior, it never craches, it never has bugs, it's so 1337!"

Truth be told linux is awsome, as a server. And yeha, they did locate a few bugs making every single linux distro hackable. And as a desktop pc, it just doesn't cut it. Windows has a lotta issues, but right now as far as pc's go, it's the best we got :)

Mind you this site runs on linux!

lol,hey it works better than my 95 edition!

Us old fogies don't know what 1337 is.

1337 is 1337 :) Gotta be 1337 to know what it means ;)

Oh, yeah, well 4238989643523882378903012 you, pal!


:D

Chris is right. If you aren't a 1337 h4x0r, ya don't hafta worry 'bout it. ;)

How do I know if I'm a 1337 h4x0r, if I don't know what 1337 is????
I'm beginning to dislike 1337, just because of all the mumbo jumbo! :roll:

Randy, I think it means "elite" but I've no idea how those particular numbers came to mean such a thing. I believe it's part of that whole youth-IM-cyber-speak phenom. Personally, I wouldn't want to be that young again for anything, so I'm glad to not be 1337!

It's mostly spoken by wanna be hackers and gamers. Either way you an typically tell whos a fake hacker or a lame gamer by who speaks like that. No offence Chris, but it is the truth. Most hackers generally don't do that, with exceptions.

It started out as hacker talk, and you were cool if you did it in your hacking clans. Then kids thought they too could be elite if they followed suit. Mostly gamers do it, but they too pretend to hack. It originated supposedly from a game.

look it up at urban dictionary.

It's ok, neither Chris nor I am actually 1337 either. We like GUIs too much. ;)

HAHAHAH its all about the GUI.. i love the click and run shizzle... that whole compiling thing is just a waste of time.

Dunno 'bout "waste of time" but it definitely takes more time. :)

lol true... check ur PM btw

Having been involved in too many fourms, as well as the internet game we play, I'm actually getting proficient enough at 1337 that it scares me.

Basically, 1337 involved replacing letters with similar looking numbers or keyboard characters. Hence, 'E' is replaced by '3', the 'L' is replaced by the number '1', which looks remarkably like the lower case 'L' anyway. 'T' is replaced by '7'. In many cases, phonetic sound-alikes or similar sounds replace words, and letters are almost randomly capitalized. It's annoying as all get out when you're a writer who prefers proper spelling and punctuation, but it's not difficult to decipher once you get used to it.

Of course, once you get it, things like this get really funny...

Heh. That is funny. ;)

Huh? :lol:

Hoomi, you just pulled it all together for me! I just knew it had something to do with replacing letters with similar numbers, but couldn't figure out how 1337 translated to a word meaning "elite"....but of course... it's 'lite or "leet" Not that I'll ever actually use it...but I post on a gaming board as well and it has always irked me when people used it. I could infer a meaning from context, but could never puzzle out WHY.

I'm a stickler for spelling and proper grammar, too. 98% of the people who post on the gaming board drive me batty! LOL

That cereal box is pretty funny!

why... because its something other than the everyday, run of the mill, bum drum of daily life. Thats why we do it. plus its easier to spell when totally shizzled face drunk :)
