In case you're serious (a possibility, given the tremendous number of posters in this thread who didn't get such an obvious parody)...
the number 0 represents the letter o
the 3 is supposed to be the letter E (backwards)
so it's pronounced "owned" as in "bought and paid for".
As far as beginning the word "owned" with a p, it depends who you listen to. This is either taken from a typo in Warcraft (a typo in the program itself) or a typo that a (famous?) player made during an online Quake game. Take your pick. Here's a few definitions of pwned
I am sure you can figure out Pwn3rsh1p by yourself now. Think about what that number 1 might represent. Think harder.
Now, as for the point of the whole article. Owning a computer means [h|cr]acking it and thereby doing whatever you want with it. They are admitting that Windows is easier to hack that Linux. Get it now ? Hilarious, I'm sure.
Oh and btw this swapping numbers and letters around is called "leetspeak" (elite speak) and it's really cool. Only tremendously intelligent people can understand it, and "speaking" that way demonstrates that you are a 133t h4x0r and can 0wn anyone with your skillz. Yawn.
Yeah I had the same response. He does eventually get to the point though, and quite a cleverly made point. All the contibutors to Perl are like his little screensavers, and doctors and nurses, all performing surgery on each other in a big ol' Perl love-fest. It's all about the Perl modules, and he really appreciates all those who contribute. I imagine this is one of those "you had to be there" speeches.
And you can do very nearly the same with 2 fingers ? Excuse me for doubting that. try typing some English prose, rather than shell commands and such.
FWIW I also used to type faster than most people with only 4-6 fingers, but when I learned to "home row", after the initial drop in speed (while forcing myself to use the "correct" fingers) I eventually picked up about a 40% speed increase (estimated). Another advantage is that I don't have to look at the keys - I think that is what they call "touch-typing". Try it some time, hopefully you will experience the same benefits.

Dude - that's not what TFA says at all. They have it correct (micro = millionth, nano = billionth).

Please tell me how, the closest I can get is one light off, all the rest on.
