This might strike a contrast to what everyone else in this forum reads for leasure:

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodorovich Dostoevsky
Crime and Punishment by Fyodorovich Dostoevsky
Vanity Fair by William Thackeray (very slowly and occasionally)
Just finished Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev
I've ordered a biography of Tito that was recomended to me. Balkan history has been one of my passive interests.

The past summer I finished Hugo's two works, Les Miserables and Notre Dame de Paris s well as some Tom Hardy, The Mayor of Casterbridge. Pretty much a smorgasboard. I've put Sci-Fi on hold for a while...

Reading? The hell? I just look at the pretty pictures in back issues of The Incredible Hulk, and then Liam tells me what's going on.

Comics is good. You will read comics.

You know, I'm glad no-one gave the smart-arse answer.

Ah, but you see, Liam wasn't using Hacker-Speak, he was using Cracker/Phreak/Lamer-Speak.

The main rules are:


  • Misspell frequently. The substitutions
    phone => fone
    freak => phreak
    are obligatory.

  • Always substitute `z's for `s's. (i.e. "codes" -> "codez"). The substitution of 'z' for 's' has evolved so that a 'z' is bow systematically put at the end of words to denote an illegal or cracking connection. Examples : Appz, passwordz, passez, utilz, MP3z, distroz, pornz, sitez, gamez, crackz, serialz, downloadz, FTPz, etc.

  • Type random emphasis characters after a post line (i.e. "Hey Dudes!#!$#$!#!$").

  • Use the emphatic `k' prefix ("k-kool", "k-rad", "k-awesome") frequently.

  • Abbreviate compulsively ("I got lotsa warez w/ docs").

  • Substitute `0' for `o' ("r0dent", "l0zer").

  • TYPE ALL IN CAPS LOCK, SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE YELLING ALL THE TIME.

His CASP LOKC was indeed correct.
