WTF are they doing registering a .com domain?!

probably so no one would make a porn site from jhu.com (which was what i was going to do).

 

[BMdoobieW]

BMW = BMW

doobie = doobie

I've always wondered if I should have chosen BMdoobieU instead....

 

[Rallispec]

a coworker of mine a few years ago had a subaru impreza tuned by Rallispec, he was the one who introduced me to anandtech and got me really interested in cars.. when i was trying to think of a username, rallispec was the first thing that came to mind. It has stuck with me since.

Warrior237
The college I went to were the Warriors and my dorm room was #237. G/f also pointed out it is the "bad" room in the Shining also

 

[illusion88]

illusion...
An erroneous perception of reality.

Actually it came about in my 8th grade hacker days. I used to go around the schools computers and just tag that name where ever I could. Hellrazor was another one but that alias is lame. I stopped that hacker stuff years ago, too risky to get cought and risk my job and future ones.

 

[RaynorWolfcastle]

MacBaine was already taken, so I had to improvise

 

[coolVariable]

Read the book "Clear and present danger" (or was it "Without remorse") and liked the radio nick "Variable" that was used in it.
But Variable is often taken ...
And then I though I might just as well call myself coolVariable since I watercooled my comp at that time (good old K6-2) ...

And for my sig I usually use cool°Variable since the cool actually stands for cool temperature-wise as in 0° F ...

 

[Gatsby]

From the Great Gatsby.

Junior Year analysis of my life that led me to emulate Jay Gatsby.

Took a year to get over it but I've kept the moniker ever since.

 

[chiwawa626]

When i first got aol about 8 years back my dads friend was setting up our account and he asked me what i wanted as my username...I was like i dunno, then he said to just say something random, i said chiwawa, then he asked for a number i said 649...later it evolved to 626. I never liked this name, yet i dont know why i still have it. Generaly i use Limca3 everywhere which is a soda on the other side of the world

 

[Aceshigh]

My favorite band is Iron Maiden.

My username is taken from one of their best concert openers. The song "Aces High" from the excellent album "Powerslave".

Hearing Churchill's speech and then the opening chords to "Aces High" as the concert began still gives me chills.

 

[Evadman]

nickname since I was in 5th grade. My real name is dave. dave backwards - Evad. For online, I added a "man" at the end. I am Evadman! I also good friends with Dahc (pronounced "Doc" like doctor) and a Nad, pronounced how it looks.

The correct way to pronounce Evad is a long "E" then "vad". Not like "evade" as in "evade the cops".
