*Fires up his Movie OS*

Whoa, code is flying all around me....*trippy*

Anywho.  The original use of so called \'l33t sp34k\' came from old BBS\'s and Forums that would block certain words.  To be able to use the censored works people would come up with interesting ways of writing the words.  Substituting most notibly 3 - e, 1 - i or l, 5 - s, and so on.

Man, you guys have it easy!  I live in Los Angeles and am on a college campus.  The lingo here changes every damned day.  Do you have any idea how accurate the (albeit crappy) movie Malibu\'s Most Wanted is?  Christ, it\'s so hard to take some times.

On the other hand, I\'m involved in an argument in \"Languages in PS\" where i fight for linguistic diversity, this is just another example.  It just hurts to be principled some times!

Sounds kind of like a debate we\'re having in my government class,  \"Is free speech only free until somebody says something that somebody higher up doesn\'t agree with.\"  Steming from the Ward Churchill essay controversy.

1337 Speak has many different contributers to it.  Alot of its being a way to get around banned words in chat / forums.  Another place is online gaming- i mean gaming like counter strike / or RTS games.  This contributed words like pwnd, ownd, woot, n00b, etc....  The reason for these abbreiviations is that you only have a like 3 second timeframe to gloat over your kill, else you get taken down in the next game, or lose a vital strategic advantage.  Thats why you say \"pwnd\" instead of \"Woo hoo i beat you so much that time you suck\", and expressions like \"woot\",. etc.  I undedrstand people using it in those situations, but outside of that its just stupid.

Back in the days when my mother went to college, it was \"31337\".

Wow, the fact that this topic went so far is a testament to l33t\'s (1337 hehe :D ) history and misuse. I like to learn javascript exploits and server-side includes and such, but I don\'t really consider myself a hacker in today\'s terms (cracker) but more of the 80\'s term, when it meant you knew the inner workings of your computer and software, and how to fix it and keep it running. Well, I think 1337 15 teh 5uxX0R5zz! (hehe, it is \"xor\" encryption!  :) )

Would you believe Microsoft have a guide to this?

http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/children/kidtalk.mspx

Crazy but true.. and there is a wikipedia entry also

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet ( This has a large amount of very disturbing detail. The easily shocked, the very young, the elderly, and those with a family history of heart-problems should not view this link - you have been warned !)

Personally I regard the utterance of leet-speek as an open invitation to inflict great bodily harm upon the speaker. That, or a sign of impending apocalypse and the downfall of civilisation.. I\'m not sure which.
