ZX81 H4x0r0r

My current jolt ranking..... but what does it mean? :confused:

Aparently it means that you don't deserve the ranking!

:D

Or something. l337 has never been one of my strong points.

ZX81 H4x0r0r

My current jolt ranking..... but what does it mean? :confused:ZX81 is some really crappy old computer (i think) and H4x0r0r is hacker

ZX81 = a very early (and cheap) computer popular with gamers of the day
H4x0r0r = hacker

ergo, this board assumes by your post count that you are an elite person who has been around for a while... although the majority of people here were probably born well after the ZX81 debut of '81.

beat you!

ZX81 H4x0r0r is a mixed language title.

ZX81 is hard to translate into 'leet' because, well it's not. ZX81 refers to Timex Sinclair ZX81. basically the "first home computer" but more like a fancy uber calculator.

H4x0r0r is - "Haxor" or hacker. Anyone with skill with the internet, networking or computers.

So you achieved the rank of Haxor, which is good but only enough skill to hack the oldest of old computers. It's a tongue in cheek compliment or an insult. :rolleyes:

Thank you people. Now that I look closer I could have probalby figured out hacker. Other one would of stumped me though. I wasn't around then.

Yeah. Nice. :rolleyes:

Calnevzona,

Aren't those uber calculators german?

Doing fine. Type 'leet translator' into Google for a start. The super basic premise is you try and replace as many a-z keys with symbol keys. Very early leet let you use 2 characters to replace one like /\ for A, but that’s not cool anymore.

We think this stuff is funny but you just know they will be teaching it in college in 50 years. :p

Hm. I thought it was still fine to do that--two characters? Everyone I know who does 1337 still uses multiple characters for letters like |/\|, ><, and |2--along with a bunch more, but they cut down where possible, using 4 for A instead of /\.

Well, if you get stuck hacking your calculator, you will be thrilled to know that there is still one zx81 User Group out there to help you out...
