Out of all the groups of people

Out of all the groups of people that annoy the heck out of me (telemarketers, ricers and scientologists to name a few) I still cannot help but crack up when I read something written in 1337 hacker talk. Thank God they don't rule the world.

What did he do wrong, people?

The first and last links don't work for me. They both say

"Sorry suckah, you either typed the page address wrong or I accidentally deleted all the files again...Try locating it via our homepage."

Which makes me even more curious to see what the links actually are.

Thanks for clearing that up, I hadn't clicked the other links (boy I feel sheepish now).

sudama: I'm guessing... oh, you Meta'd it.

I hope nobody is led to believe that the (t r a c y-fixed) link isn't worth checking out - in fact, it's hilarious. So is the first link. So well-deserved thanks, hidely!

insomnyuk, etc.: some 18-24 months ago, Google introduced Use the Google Interface in Your Language, in which the interface elements are translated by hand; accessible here. If a language you speak isn't represented, you can volunteer your services. So far, in addition to scores of human languages, they have Elmer Fudd, Pig Latin, Klingon, Swedish Chef, and the aforementioned Hacker.
