Hacker Spaces

A place where Art Students and others who lack the essential self-direction to be Real Hackers go to acquire Geek Chic with their snap-together Arduino kits bought online.

Person A: Last Saturday evening I attended the local Hacker Spaces advertised in the recent MAKE magazine. I showed them my $30 MP3 Arduino shield. It was soo Cool. There was even a guy there giving lessons on how to use a soldering iron!

His Dad: Christ. You're 32 years old. Learning to use a soldering iron is what 10 year-old nerd kids figure out for themselves.

abbreviated hacker language 

Hacker Language helps re-enforce the barrier between computer hackers and normals, and it also helps distinguish crackers from hackers. First of all, are things normals wont understand, such as TCP, IP, winsock, Linux, root access, vi, etc due to being simpletons and not bothering learning how to do more than open M$ word and type. Secondly, SOME computer hackers have decided to modify the english language and its structure. Ways in which this occurs can be seen when a hacker goes to replace ‘f’ with ‘ph’, and ‘s’ with ‘z’. Also hackers use numbers in place of letters such as '0' for 'O', ‘1’ for ‘i’ or ‘l’ (though replacing ‘i’ is not the proper usage), ‘3’ for ‘E,’ ‘4’ for ‘A’, '5' for 'S', ‘7’ for ‘t’, and even '9' for 'G'. Other popular effects include cAPiTaliZaTinG, abbrv.'in, jargon, emphasizing words by putting ‘k-‘ before them ("k-rad"), and finishing a statement with a series of characters for emphasis.

NO REAL HACKERS EVER USE THE WORD SCHOOL, NONETHELESS DO THEY ABBREVIATE IT SKEWL.

if you ever see sK00l or anything like dA or any of those ghetto abbreviations, thats not real hacker language. Hackers hate using stuff thats not theirs, especially when its crap made up by losers in high school. GG.

Since the person defining abbreviated hacker language confused himself with 13 year old AOL speak circa 2004. I think even those 13 year olds realize they were stupid and have stopped.

Hacker 

Seen at the top of the technological heirarchy, a person fully capable of using a computer to the fullest extent, and knows at least three programming languages without having to refer back to a tutorial, and has done at least one recognizable thing with them.

Not to be confused with cracker. While a hacker may have the capacity to gain unauthorized access to a computer, he/she will only do it to expand the boundaries of knowledge and promote virtue, while a cracker will destroy the results of a hacker.

It is unorthodox to consider yourself to be a hacker, rather than be considered a hacker by other hackers.
