- 90 or more: Hacker Guru, and a Jedi Master. Bow down to him.
So, what is your score?
I have a clue, but i’m not a hacker.
Guess i mostly choose the easy way to access my email and stuff …
(thunderbird instead of telnet)
If this is Question`s for a hacker , then the writter is like 9 years old.
Heh good for a few laughs. Too lazy to add those all up though ;).
I initially wanted to make this as a form, and hack up some Javascript that would calculate your score and then display results, but I also got lazy.
I always wanted to be a Jedi. I better get typing my dissertation in VI so i can get that PHD before i’m 90.
Bloody Hell, i could go grey before ever finishing a document..
a modest 30… almost some of your bases are belong to me…
I got 55 :D
(it was 45 if you don’t count double answers, such as using IceWM as well as no x-server :P)

1:c,d,e
I use tenfourfox and handbuild links and lynx. I also like to surf around with gopher protocol by netcat and less.
2:c,d
Pine is awersome, but I sometimes have to use the webmail interface of gmail. (On school for example)
3:d,e
I kinda like OS X, but it is sometimes too restrictive. If I had to choose my favorite OS it would be either some unix clone or AmigaOS/MorphOS/AROS.
4:d,e
The absolute best is vi and its clones. It is default on my linux boxes(Server/tinkering machine(100MHz Pentium, 40MB ram, 1GB HD) and desktop), my MacMINIX box(Mac Classic) and MacVim is default on my OS X laptop. I also really like ed becouse it can be used over very slow network links. (I have to control a server on my school over network and for some reason it takes around two seconds to send a single char. ouch)
5:c,d,e
I love kde 3.5 becouse how customizable it is(I hate kde 4), but I dislike how slow it is. I usually run openmotif mwm or wwm. On my server/tinkering machine I either live without X or run tinyX.
6:c,d,e
C, scheme, python, 16 bit asm(I have written multitasking OS using only 16 bit asm)
7:d,e
8:c,e
I can’t stand csh and I have never used scsh, but it looks interesting.
9:c,d
If I have to give document on ms word format I use libreoffice, but otherwise it is Vi and Latex
10:I am only 14 years old
If I calculate average of every question result is 42, but if I add all answers together result is 110
