* ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'' ref: You get to kill monsters who do this. With a dictionary, no less. It's almost as satisfying as killing the drunken frat boys a few quests later.
* The Freakshow name themselves in l33tspeak in ''[[City of Heroes]]''. Even more disconcerting: some of them apparently ''speak'' it aloud. [[
** An early mission to defeat a Freakshow gang leader (named "T3h PwNxx0rz") rewards the player with the 'Pwnz' [[Bragging Rights Reward|badge]]. Badges can be displayed underneath your name, as sort of a title, so you can see people with that badge walking around like this:

Line 144:
* Inserting Leet characters to passwords is actually a very effective yet convenient way of increasing its length and complexity, making it exponentially harder to crack, especially against dictionary attacks. For example, if your password is "Password"[[hottip:*:The [http://www.tomshardware.com/news/imperva-rockyou-most-common-passwords,9486.html fourth most common password used on rockyou.com in 2009], changing it to "P4$$\/\/0r|)" puts your password past the length and character range of all but the most persistent hackers, while still maintaining enough visual cues for you to remember that it is merely your intentionally screwed-up way of spelling "Password"[[hottip:.:The human's superior symbolic solution ability is the reason why CAPTCHA images are still readable, [[Technology Marches On|at least for now...]]
