˙˙00˙ ˙00˙01˙03˙01Lunch of the Ace Hacker˙00 ˙ ˙ ˙03˙02PUH / AGONY ˙02˙01˙01˙00˙˙01 My lunch reminds me of my Amiga: cheap, fast and very tasty. I keep getting these questions all the time about how I can make a full-size lunch for less than 8 SKR (about 1 USD) and keep a fair level of taste at the same time, and all along I have refused to give away the very key to my success here in life ("Oh, THAT success"). Now, however, I have decided to let you into the world of the instant noodles, hoping that you will come to insight about what really matters here in life. ˙021.˙01 Buy a packet of Nissin (Demae Ramen) instant noodles. Notice that NO OTHER brand will do; only Nissin has got what it takes to make you a real hacker. It (i.e. the noodles) should cost somewhere between four and five SKR unless you live in Norrland, where they charge the double. ˙022.˙01 Tear the package apart and put the noodles in exactly 4.10 litres of boiling water. ˙023.˙01 Add the seasoning oil and the soup powder as well. Do not pay any attention to the fact that the package tells you not to; you MUST add these two components to the noodles in the early stages of boiling. ˙024.˙01 Add a tiny bit of butter and some salt. ˙025.˙01 Boil for exactly three minutes. Don't overdo it, or your noodles will become as slippery as FiShAwVeS spell-checker after checking one issue of Seenpoint. ˙026.˙01 Serve immediately, i.e. eat it directly as soup. Use a spoon. Be a hacker. Well, this is it. I strongly recommend you to try this one out, as it is one of the best meals available here on Earth. If followed by some coffee and General Portion, well then you know you are in heaven. ˙01
