It's ª smªll 'a' rªsied in the ªir. Nobody reªlly knows whªt it's for but it mªkes you feel speciªl to use it, just becuªse n00bs will wonder how you typed it.
<no_one_2000> Dude, what is this ª character? It's in the ASCII chart but nobody ever uses it.
<fyrehart> No clue.
See 5 and 120 for an explanation.
calkfreak83: Just to make things weirder, we should start saying "120d".
120d = "LOL!", just use 120d in replacement of it.
Nothing is compatible with a Mac! Not even viruses! 120d
Combinations of curse words are typically used for insults when angrier than usual. This one, for unknown reasons, sounds better than most others and continues to be used by many in random explosions of anger.
<fyrehart> I am a shitfaced cocksucker!
<no_one_2000> Yeah, you are.
A clever way of denoting an ellipsis (those three dots "..."). It's commonly used after an idiot makes a stupid remark.
<tehn00bz0r> hey wat iz teh numbar for 911?
<Scr33nName> dot^3
"1337" typed with the shift-key pressed. Seen most commonly from n00bs who type in all caps (but are too stupid to use the caps lock key), or by those making fun of n00bs.
<n00b> OMG HOW U KIL ME U MUST B !##&
<me> Stfu, n00b.
"To be or not to be, that is the question." It is believed that Shakespeare was actually a Java programmer and this famous line was originally recorded as
boolean question = (_2b)||!(_2b);
But that's just a legend... ;-)
...And according to boolean logic, the question is true.
The most annoying line a beginner Java programmer has to type in each one of their programs. This is also the line where most n00bish typos appear.
Comparison of Java to QBASIC
Java:
public class PrintHi{
public static void main(String args){
System.out.println("Hi");
}
}
QBASIC:
?"Hi"
Hmm, 95 characters or 5? Tough choice.
