Hexspeak

Hexspeak, like leetspeak, is a novelty form of variant English spelling using the hexadecimal numbers. Created by programmers as memorable magic numbers, hexspeak words can serve as a clear and unique identifier with which to mark memory or data.

Hexadecimal notation represents numbers using the 16 digits 0123456789ABCDEF. Using only the letters ABCDEF it is possible to spell several words. Further words can be made by treating some of the decimal numbers as letters - the digit "0" can represent the letter "O", and "1" can represent the letters "I" or "L". Less commonly, "5" can represent "S", "7" represent "T", "12" represent "R" and "6" or "9" can represent "G" or "g", respectively. Numbers such as 2 or 8 can be used in a manner similar to leet or rebuses; e.g. the word "defecate" can be expressed either as DEFECA7E or DEFEC8. (2 bears a resemblance to Z, but because that letter is the least used in the English language, such a usage is rare.)

Notable magic numbers

Many computer processors, operating systems, and debuggers make use of magic numbers, especially as a magic debug value.

  • EED

    Polycomb protein EED is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EED gene.

    Function

    Polycomb protein EED is a member of the Polycomb-group (PcG) family. PcG family members form multimeric protein complexes, which are involved in maintaining the transcriptional repressive state of genes over successive cell generations. This protein interacts with enhancer of zeste 2, the cytoplasmic tail of integrin β7, immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) MA protein, and histone deacetylase proteins. This protein mediates repression of gene activity through histone deacetylation, and may act as a specific regulator of integrin function. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

    Clinical significance

    In humans, a de-novo mutation in EED has been reported in an individual displaying symptoms similar to those of Weaver syndrome.

    Interactions

    EED has been shown to interact with:

  • EZH2,
  • HDAC1,
  • Histone deacetylase 2,
  • ITGB7,
  • PPP1R8, and
  • TGS1.

    Braindead Hero

    by: Udo

    For a long time he's been lucky man
    No difference if it's good or bad
    The trigger's his - the orders others
    No way to stop the final blow
    The message: here ya go
    The countdown's on a roll
    War against the world
    All systems deadly armed
    Machine, man, all in one
    They're all oblivious to the crime

    Braindead hero - out of the sun he comes
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - feel the blazing guns
    Now we got to blow his circuitry
    Drain the poison from his veins
    Degenerate - corrupt his memories
    Fire at will - just do or die
    The message: here ya go
    The countdown's on a roll
    War against the world
    All systems deadly armed
    Machine, man, all in one
    They're all oblivious to the crime
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero -like a hammer from the sky
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - supersonic cry
    You better stay just where you are
    Consequences in the fire
