I want a 'Hacker' nation to be more... h4xx0r! The legend must be in
Leetspeak and I want the leader list to consist of handles when
available. =)

Here are a few:

rms (Stallman)
dmr (Ritchie)
Ken (Thompson)
Julf (Johan Helsingius)
Cap'n Crunch (John Draper)
Condor (Kevin Mitnick)
Dark Dante (Kevin Poulsen)
Phiber Optik (Mark Abene)
rtm (Robert Morris)
Woz (Wozniak, of course)

(mostly from http://progsystem.free.fr/greatesthackers.htm)

What about Torvalds? Maybe he's too wholesome a guy to have a hacker
handle.
