n. 1. Short for hexadecimal , base 16. 2. A 6-pack of anything (compare quad
|
|
, sense 2). Neither usage has anything to do with magic or black art ,
|
|
though the pun is appreciated and occasionally used by hackers. True story:
|
|
As a joke, some hackers once offered some surplus ICs for sale to be worn as
|
|
protective amulets against hostile magic. The chips were, of course, hex
|
|
inverters.
