| Haha. That was done by one of our guys. He had designed some warm up jackets for the club, and used that photo in the flyer he gave out. He's an awesome guy.

| I think that picture is taken from Richard Cohen's By the Sword, and it's a photograph of the author. | |

| Correct on both counts, Dev. It is Richard Cohen in midair, though his leather-jacketed opponent eludes me at the moment.
I'm the one who modified the image, just like RITFencing said. I rasterized the copy I had of it, and now it is on my living room wall. | |

| And the yellow card for either scoring a touch while falling, or abnormal fencing action goes to the right... | |

| Understandable Jason! Haxxor is a term they came up with on certain bulletin boards frequented by computer hackers. The mods would try to suppress the dissemination of "How-to" knowledge by filtering certain words such as "Hacker". The hackers of course live to circumvent such limits so "Leet speak" was born and has continued to evolve since then. At least that is my understanding of how it came about.

| And I just thought it was people spending too much time with a computer, not enough with real people, and spelling things phonetically . . .
Well, not really. Leet speak is dumb ><

Uh...because hackers are so admirable? Because their stupidity is worthy of emulation by the masses? They are somehow to be admired and followed? 
Sometimes I despair of young people. Their gullibility seems to know no bounds...

Peter Gustafsson | I'm sure he was the most troublesome teenager the Carthagenians had ever seen. | |

Sometimes I despair of young people. Their gullibility seems to know no bounds... | Eh... to me it's like saying "because rebels are so admirable?" Rebels are morally justified sometimes, as I think history has shown us.
Similarly, some hackers do "good" deeds, in my eyes, such as taking down Sony Music's website temporarily. Yes -- I'm the naive sort that believes some corporations truly are evil. ):
Of course, that doesn't mean that hackers by their nature are admirable. | |

| They aren't "rebels", either. They're just vandals. And criminals.
Color me unimpressed.
