Humour:	7	There were some good laughs in here, but it didn't really come together in the end. Here's the breakdown: WHAT WORKED: The lede. It's delightfully ridiculous. The Retarded/Awesome joke was a bit cheap, but still pretty effective. "You ask a nice man why it will not work. He stabs you. You go over to your Friend's house and ask him to let you borrow his computer. He lets you." Other Uncyclopedians might criticize you here for excessive randomness and inconsistency (that is: why doesn't your Friend notice that you've been stabbed?) But I love it. I think I like the parallelism between the two sets of sentences the most. Makes me laugh. Some of the list of bad hacker names. A 1337 h4xx04 named "Ilovekitties" is a pretty funny concept. Also, the idea that "11/m/ny" is a good hacker name is hilarious. Describing MS Office and programs that ship with Windows as essential hacker tools. WHAT DID NOT WORK: Everything between the words "1337 warriors h4x0ring guide" and the list of hacker names. During this section, all I could do is think "What the fuck just happened to this article??" Remarkably, there were few to no bad jokes in the article. There were jokes that didn't quite hit home, but there were no jokes that made me pissed off that you even attempted them. And that's actually better than 90% of Uncyclopedia articles.
Concept:	5	This article has two entirely separate concepts. One is "Why?:Delete run32.dll", and the other is "HowTo:Be a 1337 h4xx04." (with absolutely terrible advice). And, unfortunately, I can never tell where one is going to end and the other is going to pick up. I give each of these concepts a 10. Sadly, in Pee Review math, 10+10=5.
Prose and formatting:	5	The fact that this article keeps vastly changing its subject is a testament to the fact that it is not well organized at all. There are all kinds of grammar errors, the section breaks are incomprehensible, and the capitalization is at times bizarre. Despite all that, it actually does have a kind of a flow to it; the writing style is, at least, consistent.
Images:	4.6	This article has no images to speak of, so I averaged the scores, and then subtracted 1 because I think a good image could make it funnier. Even a simple BSOD would be funnier than a picture of black pixels. Also, any place besides "after absolutely everything, and on the right" would be a better place to put the only picture.
Miscellaneous:	9	I'm putting a 9 here to bring the score up because I think a final score of 27 is a bit harsh. I mean, I did enjoy the article.
Final Score:	30.6	It needs work, but you're on to something good. More specifically, you're on to two good things. You do know that you can have as many articles as you want, right?
