You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks.

    I'm making money at this.

Unix: UL+++

Linux:

I don't need to crack /etc/passwd because I just modified su so that it doesn't prompt me. The admin staff doesn't even know I'm here. If you don't understand what I just said, this category does NOT apply to you.

Perl: P(+)

    I range from ...

I know Perl exists, but that's all.

    ... to ...

I know of perl. I like perl. I just haven't learned much perl, but it's on my agenda.

I've managed to get Linux installed and even used it a few times. It seems like it is just another OS.

    ... to ...

I use Linux exclusively on my system. I monitor comp.os.linux.* and even answer questions some times.

Emacs: E-

Emacs is just too big and bloated for my tastes.

Politics-Economic: PE(-)

I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality I am not really all that active or vocal.

    ... to ...

I am on the cypherpunks mailing list and active around Usenet. I never miss an opportunity to talk about the evils of Clipper and ITAR and the NSA. Orwell's 1984 is more than a story, it's a warning to ours and future generations. I'm a member of the EFF.

It's ok if you like paranoia and conspiracy stories, but, let's face it, it's crap.
