what does "|33t H4X0r" mean ??

[Droid]

I have been seeing these "|33t H4X0r" weird codes, everywhere. I was wondering if anyone here know what they mean, & how to translate it to normal english.

l33t hax0r = Leet Hacker = Elite hacker

Elite, one who excels.

Hacker, one who hacks.

Therefore it means skilled or excellent hacker.

Although most of the time it means nothing and is just some weird way of referring to someone in a sarcastic manner

It won't translate back to English but at least you can use it to translate your own words into "L33t Sp34k", as well as several other dialects.

In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

(Translation: Nope this would produce senseless stuff like this.)

Note: LX wants to kid me because I have this cool looking wireless keyboard w/o numblock.



And sometimes when we chat together I'll have the numblock on but the keys are integrated in the standard keyblock so it produces that crap above.

ha, it feels goot to ruin insider jokes

hacker speak also comes from password security, i.e its better to use the password like "110v3st8c3" which would translate into "ILOVESTACY" or whatever password, so that dictionary brute force hacks wont get the password.

It's the language of a 13 year old hyper-dweeb that thinks it's cool and funny to type like that. No one else thinks it's cool besides them.
