Yeah, well, at least one of the places, the archivist looks through the submissions.  She started the archive back when there were dozens of word processer programs in use and asked for txt files to make sure she--and everybody else--could read them.

Well, it goes back at least to 97.  I think that was about the same time I started getting into fanfics, although I don't think I found that particular fandom until a couple years later. (The one story in that fandom I've finished was posted in 2000)

Semi Retro-posting, but here's some advice.

It's often easier to ask forgiveness than for permission. . .
Tracers work both ways. . .
Incoming fire has the right of way. . .
Does this smell like chloroform to you?
HEAT means never having to say you're sorry. . .
Friendly fire, isn't. . .
Get friendly with the cops, know the judges personally, but always, always, have an alibi anyway.
Chunky salsa is *NOT* a party invite. . .
Never take point.
Keep your enemies close, and your friends closer. . . chances are they'll stop a few bullets. . .
Cut the red wire. . . Cut the red wire. . . Cut the red wire. . . Drek! They're ALL red!!!
If you shift consciousness, and smell something burning. . . chances are, it's probably you . . .
If at first you don't succeed. . . then parachuting is not for you. . .
"How much explosives did you bring? "Ten." "Ten units?" "No ten kilos. . . "
Friends come and go, but enemies accumulate. . .
Having a bad day? Alter your reality by bending your mind on prescription drugs! Better living through Biochemistry.
Eight billion people in the world. Sooner or later, you'll match the description of the criminal on the Trid. . .
It could be worse. . . Your run could have taken you to Alpha Complex . . .
Never trust anyone farther than you can throw them. . . which is why most trolls love dwarves. . .

~~ And the deal with Miho is that she really is the queen of the undead. At least in the sense that she feeds off of social contact. She leads the living dead, the social outcasts. . . A vampire of a different sorts. Their primary objective? Social acceptance or dominance. Revenge for loss of honor on the field of social battle. And she loves to play with people's heads, and when dealing with people like Largo, can you really blame her?

Or I think too much. . .

Four, if you count me even though I haven't said anything yet. ;D

The thing is, is that 1337 speak was, at one time cool. I wasn't there for it. Now it's dead, and crippled. But I still my run with it. It used to be the smart hackers who used it, but then wannabes, punks, and other drekheads overused it, annoyed people with it, and generally shot up a great cultural event.

Sigh.

Yeah, I pretty much missed it, too.  Somebody tried to show me a few years ago, but it wasn't until I started reading Megatokyo I really figured out how to decipher it.

Actually, it's a bit of a missnomer that 'hackers' used it.
it's more like; kids who didn't want their parrents to see what they were talking about in chatrooms online used it.
everyone had a watchfull parent or gaurdian who would ocasionally look over their shoulder to see what they were talking about on this 'inter-web-thing', if you wanted to talk about stuff that would make them take away your internet access, then you used L337.

J0 Ch1X0R. W4N7 70 H00X0RZ UP? 1 l1V3 N34R 7H3 M4LL.
D00D, 1M 4 D00D 2, JU57 L0X0R1NG 4 L35B0Z! LOLORZ!

because it used 'numbers' it was assumed that there was some sort of math involved, as opposed to the digital pig-latin that it really was.

it enjoyed a brief stynt on IRC, where people paranoid that '7H3 C0P5' were using B075 to check on things. in reality, no cop would ever go on thoes boards. too much trash to dig through just to find someone who's got a three year old version of photoshop they are willing to trade for porn.

As it turns out, most of the digital security people 'in the know' could crack the pig-latin code, so they could set their filters to look for 'W4R3Z' just as easily as 'Hacked Software' so it really wasn't much of a savings. the only people it worked on were mom's and dad's who couldn't speak pig lattin, or make the connection.

'Real' hackers, speak English, or German. (mostly)

I knew one guy who would try to send code in 'klingon'... but that was a bit too geekey for even the geek-hackers I knew.

Or Japanese. All of my programming skills are but a drop in the ocean that all of my asian friends know. . . Indians too for that matter. . .

I imagine that there's a lot of Indian hackers out there. they got all the key elements, the opressive info-structure, a job culture they are practicly required to 'live' in, and managment/customer base that typically dosn't know enough to follow what they are doing.

however, I've never gotten to know any. the Japanese hackers I knew were more wageslaves than hackers. the punk Otaku over there are more interesed in photoshoping porn of their favorite actors than looking for security holes. (my experience with them, perhaps not the norm)

of course, judging anyone by a steryotype is bound to have inconsistancy built into it, expecially any profession as 'frindge' as 'hacking'

it's not like there is a goverment training class you can go to and become the super-delta-forces-hacker-of-death. almost to a T, most of the hackers I know got their start cracking copyright encryption, because they had more time than money to pay for games; and then went from there.
