[Eaglet]

Typically people guess that it means that I am an underage trap

An underage sexy mexican trap.

[Ruldra]

That was actually what I first thought when you joined the forum. But then you posted a pic of yourself and saw that you're no trap.

So I'm like "Oh, I guess he likes traps then".

[Kollision]

Faith No More's Album of the Year track 1

I was learning German at the time

King For A Day was better though.

Agreed!
Yet my favorite FNM song is in AOTY (Stripsearch)

[BIL]

Muh name is BIL
I got sick SKIL
All the ladies in the house just can't sit STIL

"BIL could you open this mint Recca box for me?!" "Sure thing sweetie." *FINGER ACTION* "Ohh BIL!"

[CMPXCHG8B]

"lock cmpxchg8b eax"

Also known as the Pentium F00F bug. Issuing that instruction on most early Pentium processors will cause the entire CPU to lockup and require a reset. I still remember when Linux implemented that patch and everyone was freaking out over it. Man, I miss my PowerPC PReP and Sparc boxes...

BIL, you are legendary for your box opening skills over here in the states. The girls just swoon!

[BIL]

I'm thinking of writing a short FAQ on box opening techniques, stay tuned. It's all about the index!

No bad intentions on calling you nerdy

Trap15 should get to keep the nerd trophy. He works for Hex-Rays, and that makes him an assembly god. I just pretend to know assembly, and I only know of the F00F and FDIV bugs because I was a sysadmin around that time and had to return several FDIV-blessed Pentium processors to Intel.

Agreed

Thanks for explaining the username, trap15, I was wondering about it yesterday. I thought maybe it had something to do with a debugger.

<- definitely knows nothing about 68000 instructions

I was playing Wizardry: Knight of Diamonds back when I registered and I lifted my handle from this bit:

What is that?

[BryanM]

Brian Mosers, the greatest hero of olde.

[RaidenViper]

a mix of Raiden and Vic Viper. Not too obvious.

[Cagar]

It means shit in Portuguese.

No I didn't know about it when I decided to start using this.
I just have no idea where Cagar came from. It sounds cool and looks stylish.. i think

[spadgy]

I really just made up a name I liked the sound of. I wanted it to be a completely fabricated word, and I wanted it to suit a squirrel because I adore squirrels.

As a kid I always wanted a dog, and my mind thought 'Spunky' was a really cool name for a pet (I wasn't then aware of the ejaculation reference!) so I guess it kind of came from there. Wasn't there a dog called 'Spunky' in that cartoon Rocco's Modern Life? It might have come from there. I'll admit (never thinking I'd become a mod!) I was also aware 'spadge' is a very obscure rude word, and I liked the idea of something puerile which barely registers as crude.

In other words, it's an alternative version of 'spunky' as a name. I've grown up to become my own childhood pet.

I made up 'spadgy' for this forum, but now I'm called it in person across the game industry (my work) by fairly senior people, down the arcades and even in the UK's jungle scene, where I know a few people who always call me 'spadgy'. I even get shout outs as 'spadgy' on the odd jungle radio show.

It also means to defecate in spanish

one popular swearing here is "Me voy a cagar en todo"

Look for the meaning on google

[Drachenherz]

Wasn't there another thread like this? Anywhoo, "Drachenherz" is my main internet-handle allost since the beginning of me being online, at aroundish 1997 or so. (Oh dial-up, how I loath thee...)

I started using it in one of my very first emailadresses, drachenherz@swissonline.ch. I was looking for a good and powerful sounding name, with a hint of mystery and don't-know-what.

One or two years later, even before I got in to this bloody forum-addiction-craze that still got it's firm grip on me until today, I started using this handle in several chats, and then from aroundish 2003 or 2004 onwards, it's become my more or less standard forum handle.

It means "Dragonheart" in english, but personaly I prefer the german version, as it sounds... I dunno, as it sounds stronger and more mysterious.

Unless you call me "Drachi", "Drach" or "Drachman".

[Ruldra]

It means shit in Portuguese.

It doesn't mean "shit", it means "to shit". It's a verb.
