I like the info regarding "griefers" and cyberbullies.
I swear man, we really are living in strange times.

Still, that doesn't change the fact that Micro$oft is t3h su><0rz, and Firefox is the Pwn!11!

Trying to crack down on potential kiddie pirates, Bill? Congratulations. You have just surpassed Bin Laden as one of the low points of humanity. Now by your definition, anyone using l337 is by definition a pirate. And D&D is a portal to hell. And earwigs like to lodge themselves in your ear canal and drill your eardrum. And Bill Clinton didn't have sex with that woman. And Nixon was not a crook... and... ah, screw it.

Doesn't Microsoft have something better to do with their time than write silly guides to "leetspeak"? Like, I dunno, maybe fixing the countless bugs in their OS?

And nobody who really knows how to hack uses leetspeek. It's just stupid kids who don't know anything. Anybody who uses leetspeek couldn't haxx0r his way out of a wet paper bag.

when i first opened it i thought it was going to be a joke. like the Apple iProduct advert Neon posted a few days ago. well anyway, it is funnier as a serious article than it would be as a joke.

"Doesn't Microsoft have something better to do with their time than write silly guides to "leetspeak"? Like, I dunno, maybe fixing the countless bugs in their OS?" How true!
