| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. When personal
computers started to become mainstream in the early 1980s, it became one
of the things associated with the hacker culture of the time. Some
cartoons depicted computer users talking in binary code with 1s and 0s
using a slashed zero for the 0. The use of the Scandinavian vowel ø in
the name of the Hawkwind-influenced 1980s space-rock band Underground
Zerø may have been inspired by the usage of the slashed zero by many
computer systems of the time; which resembled ø (see article "Heavy
metal umlaut"). The slashed zero symbol is widely used in written
Amateur radio callsigns, codes for video-games, software product keys,
New Zealand alphanumeric car number plates, and any other instance when
clarity is necessary. Slashed zeroes can also be used on cheques in
order to prevent fraud, for example: changing a 0 to an 8. |
