I've got one question...How did u come to your names? I'm askin' this because I wondered how some of u guys ('n girls) come to such coll names?
so I think, I've got to explain my Name first:

Alhexx is a mix of Alex (no, my real name isn't alex) and Hex (Hex-Editor  :wink:), so:
Alex + Hex = Alhexx

- Alhexx

Mine's kind of long to explain, but it explains me pretty well. My name is taken from "Haruhito Wada" it's an alias I used when I was doing research of my PSX project. Japanese are a bit xonophobic, you see. I used that name so that Japanese I chatted with online would talk to me a bit more freely. Social Engeneering at it's best. There are chinese characters for that name too. "Haru" is spring and "hito" is person. The last name is "wa" which is "old japan" and "da" is rice field.

The reason I chose "Haruhito" as the first name was because it was the first name of the Japanese character designer for "Macross" (Haruhito Mikimoto) It's because of that anime I speak Japanese today. Haruhito Mikimoto was often called "haru-kun" for short (-kun is a japanese term of endearment, kind of like -san is for honorable people) or simply "hal"

HAL is also the name of the computer in 2001. If you take the letters HAL and write out the next letter in sequence H becomes I, A becomes B, and L becomes M

HAL -> IBM

Which are the type of computers I program on.

The last name "Wada" was the last name of a dear Japanese friend when I lived in Japan from 1992-1996. Her name was Yukiko Wada. I had very strong feelings for her but was unable to communicte them very well because I didn't know enough Japanese at the time. This is another reason why I speek Japanese so well now. I use the Yukiko's name in the past tense because about a month ago she got married to an American serviceman in Japan. I beleave her last name is "Brown" now.

"Wada Haruhito" in Japanese is this;

Back in the day in high school there was this girl "Mary Jane" and she was tripping on acid... and said i looked like the Cadbury Bunny, but she made me spell it Caddberry.. (the cadbury bunny and the cadbury cream egg that might just be an american thing i dunno)

Simple, really.  My dad's name is Mike Miller, and when we signed up for cable internet, there were already 7 MMiller's.  So we became MMiller8.  I just use it here for simplicity.

Yeah thats probably what he meant.
And yeah Cadbury's is a brittish company they used to run the national lottery(camelot used to be a subsidary). Also they got all that stick for putting to much milk in their milk chocolate (from the european union) stupid brussels, they wouldnt change it and if they did there would be an outrage

Well, I got mine from my friends. They taught that Joey was perfect for me, and I accepeted it. Although a famous female Hong Kong artist is also called Joey, but I assure you that I'm a boy. This is NOT my real name etiher. So, Alhexx, where do you come from and do you practise black magic?(hex = curse)

I'm a Japanese lit major. I currently have two teachers. One really cool but a bit nieve. When she asked why I wanted to be a Japanese lit major I said "Because The games are awesome, the cartoons are cool, and Japanese girls are gorgeous" She thought it was cute.

The other teacher, however is not very fond of my reasoning (possably becase she knows I'm telling the truth and not saying that to be "cute") I was recently humbled by her when I made the remark that Japanese text input into a computer was a pain because there were three differnt text standards (Jis, EUC, and iso-2990-jp) I added that after the language reform in 1969 that trimmed the characters from over 50,000 to 1,945 there was no need for such extreame fontsets and Unicode should be fine.

The reply made me have a whole appriciation for Japanese sarcasm.

"Did you know", she said, "that 90% of all keyboards are manufactured in Asia? How would you like it if we started removing keys from it. I mean, after all 'c' and 's' make almost the same sound. Oh, so do 'n' and 'm' so we'll just combine those as well. 'i' and 'j' look so much the same, we'll just drop one."

"Did you know", she added, "That when epson made an 8-pin printer in the 1980s was so they could print hiragana and katakana in one pass? It had absolutly nothing to do with making better looking "A"s and "B"s.

"And as far as Unicode goes. DO you know when the committe came up with that 'standard' they invited everyone execpt for China, Korea, and Japan? How would you feel of you had a bunch of countries trying to tell you how to code your own language."

oops, noever brough that up again

Oh dear, what was the teacher for? Like what subject?

Joey: Why don't you take your own time to look around on Napster, Google and other sites like http://www.mp3delivery.com" TARGET=_blank>http://www.mp3delivery.com  instead of just sitting around waiting for one of us to give them to you.

I use this nick, because I like the manga of the same name by Momoko Sakura very much. The main character is basically just like me on the early days....
