For actual real world usage…um… perhaps: - april fools day joke on web site - translate all of your comments and posts to any blogs or on IRC to l33t speak - encode your any document or article so it can only be read by uber l33t speakers … I don’t have a real clear view of where it would be useful. It just seemed like something fun to do. Although if you can think of any ideas I’d love to post on my blog about why l33t speak is useful. (of course all in fun =) Zach -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - [http://enigmail.mozdev.org](http://enigmail.mozdev.org) iD8DBQFE393hMyx0fW1d8G0RAvMpAJ0TrIOWXfDllxY/PhT5yt8Se2j88ACdGon9 0J0y0CQU5IKrsB3oJmOgIHM= =do2q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---

You should definitely open up the String class and add a to\_1337 method, so you can write: “hacker”.to\_1337 =\> “h4x0r” 🙂 Best, Thomas Am 11.08.2006 um 04:48 schrieb zdennis:
