Speeding up Linux

zLinuxz · 09-22-2002, 09:56 AM

go to the closest computer store, right before it closes. Then, with one of your best friends, use a replica gun sprayed painted black and assault the place. Tell them to give you the fastest CPU that they have, and also a couple of 256 RAM chips! After that, tie their arses to the desk or something, and quickly get out of there! Oh, make sure you guys wear masks, or chose a place where there are no video cameras.

Then enjoy the high speed in your Linux box,

If you are gonna go out like that, at least make it a few GB sticks of RAM, none of this wuss 256 stuff

And don't forget to spray paint: H4X0R all over the place, just so they know the l33tness if the people who did it.

Cool

hehhe, thanks for the correction, had forgotten there are already GB simms, heheh. Tight.

Yeah, you can also leave a message like..."I just wanted to make my computer faster!, thank you for the supplies!" using that spray paint, hehehehe.

sorry for total lack of hacker slang but what the ___ is:

H4X0R &
l33tness

You don't want to know.

...but if you do...

H4X0R=haxor=hacker

l33t=leet=elite

These terms are used in different ways by different people. If you wanted to compliment someone, you wouldn't called them a h4X0r - it generally refers to someone who believes themselves to have great talents, but is clueless (read: script kiddies).

As for l33t, I believe that started more in gaming. That term's more acceptable - one might in fun refer to someone's "l33t skillz".

Of course, these aren't in the dictionary, and mean something different to everyone.

he he he, yep, and those are the extent of my h4x0r skillz

I really don't know anything about things like that, just read a few things here and there, for fun you could check out:
www.wtfiml33t.com and see their difinition(s) and things.

Cool
