I don't think that really qualifies...

 

Not sure what you mean?


Using steganography and the right key, my sluggo avatar transforms into Charles Suitt's white cat, with a special message for those willing to persue.... k337 ?

 

Sorry, but I see people who use leet or AOLspeak are loser morons who want attention. JUST USE ENGLISH, PEOPLE! If you want to be cute and use the PC equivalent of hearts instead of dots on your "i"s,don't expect normal people to bother to take the time to translate. Kinda like Star Trek geeks who speak Klingon to each other.

Just my opinion... nothing personal.

 

You left off the option "I am literate in elite speak but choose to select communications over jargon." It is hard enough to communicate ideas clearly with proper attention to grammar, syntax, word choice, and spelling. I prefer to live by the philosophy that "the people who understand what they are talking about can express themselves in words that anyone can understand." (Sorry, can't remember the exact wording or source of the original so I have taken the liberty of degendering my paraphrase of the quotation). Slang, jargon, speed codes and the like are only useful when FULLY understood by all parties involved. All too often, they seem to be used to impress others rather than enhance communications.

FWIW: YMMV 73

Morse Code. Not exactly L3375p34k.

Morse Code is an officially recognized form of communication, used by numerous organizations, military, etc... Not some "cool" h4x0r crap.

Is ok IF you can also write perfect English. Problem is, a lot of kids in school are intermingling the two (I'm including IM shorthand too). I have a friend who's a high school teacher, and you should see some of the written stuff he gets...

 

There should be an option for those of us with a "primitive" understanding.
I read your 4850|u73|y option, but I need something like N3\/\/8y |337. Or does that take away the "eliteness" of it?

I also couldn't get the firefox extension to work. I use firefox (of course) but it tells me Firefox is configured to block installations, open "edit options" to change. It handily gives me an "edit options" button right there. But I don't see an obvious setting to change, I've tried a few possibilities to no avail, and I can't download it and install from another window. I guess I need to be a H4x0r.

I still love the "Hacker" language selection in Google. Go to http://www.google.com, go to Preferences, and select "Hacker" for language. Save, reload, laugh.

I understand it, I simply choose not to use it (unless I'm making fun of it).

I had the same problem. If I remember correctly, in the options, go to Content, and check the Warn me when web sites try to install extensions or themes, then go to the exceptions button, and enter the sites there to allow. I may be off on this, but that's what I'm remembering.

 

Thank god it says "English" in parens after you do that! Whew.

 

Yeah, that's what I did. Maybe I need to restart Firefox?

I also like the "Elmer Fudd" setting in Google preferences.

Oh. I don't think sufferin' was saying that morse was leet, he was demonstrating some of the transformations of the firefox plug-in. For the life of me, I can't decode his last message...
