is that a movie review? or some piss weak excuse for one?

Jargon File wrote:Here is a brief guide to cracker and warez d00dz usage:

Misspell frequently. The substitutions phone → fone and freak → phreak are obligatory.

Always substitute ‘z’s for ‘s’s. (i.e. “codes” → “codez”). The substitution of ‘z’ for ‘s’ has evolved so that a ‘z’ is now systematically put at the end of words to denote an illegal or cracking connection. Examples : Appz, passwordz, passez, utilz, MP3z, distroz, pornz, sitez, gamez, crackz, serialz, downloadz, FTPz, etc.

Type random emphasis characters after a post line (i.e. “Hey Dudes!#!$#$!#!$”).

Use the emphatic ‘k’ prefix (“k-kool”, “k-rad”, “k-awesome”) frequently.

Abbreviate compulsively (“I got lotsa warez w/ docs”).

TYPE ALL IN CAPS LOCK, SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE YELLING ALL THE TIME.

The following letter substitutions are common:


a → 4
e → 3
f → ph
i → 1 or |
l → | or 1
m → |\/|
n → |\|
o → 0
s → 5
t → 7 or +


Thus, “elite” comes out “31337” and “all your base are belong to us” becomes “4ll y0ur b4s3 4r3 b3l0ng t0 us”, Other less common substitutions include:


b → 8
c → ( or k or |< or /<
d → <|
g → 6 or 9
h → |-|
k → |< or /<
p → |2
u → |_|
v → / or \/
w → // or \/\/
x → ><
y → '/


The word “cool” is spelled “kewl” and normally used ironically; when crackers really want to praise something they use the prefix “uber” (from German) which comes out “ub3r” or even “|_|83r”

These traits are similar to those of B1FF, who originated as a parody of naive BBS users; also of his latter-day equivalent Jeff K.. Occasionally, this sort of distortion may be used as heavy sarcasm or ironically by a real hacker, as in:

> I got X Windows running under Linux!

d00d! u R an 31337 hax0r



The words “hax0r” for “hacker” and “sux0r” for “sucks” are the most common references; more generally, to mark a term as cracker-speak one may add “0r” or “xor”. Examples:


“The nightly build is sux0r today.”
“Gotta go reboot those b0x0rz.”
“Man, I really ought to fix0r my .fetchmailrc.”
“Yeah, well he's a 'leet VMS operat0r now, so he's too good for us.”

Regardless of where your religious beliefs lie, parents should think more than twice about taking little kidlets to see The Passion of the Christ. Two hours of gruesome, sadistic, stomach-turning and hard core graphically violent torture detached from any background information is not something to expose kids to, regardless of religion. Kids of a slightly older age may ask "Mommy? Why is Jesus a punching bag?" and then you can explain all the stuff about "dying for your sins," and inflict enough psychological terror on the kid to require a good twenty years of therapy. Or you can blame the Jews which, intended or not, is the message the film delivers as Gibson caps the piece with all the high priests standing at the foot of the cross, looking, ah, regretful.

This audience is the exactly the type who've never in their entire lives seen a violent movie/tv show/anything like that. Suddenly, they're exposed to this. Having them watch 'Kill Bill' would probably be hilarious.

Heheh, I realized this earlier today. It's especially funney when I realized that these aren't just normal easily tramatized children, they're the kind of children who have parent's who screen everything they watch and have never been exposed to violence. Tomorrow will be wonderous when I get to hear all of my friend's who had to explain everything to their siblings.

Would it be ironic if some of the people who took their kids to see it were up in arms over Janet Jackson't halftime stunt?
