Gerogorian's starting date is according to birthyear of jesus christ .
about Persian's I can tell Persian's starting date is according to astronomical computations for considering more accuracy.
That's what they thought, because when the first calendar based on the birth of Jesus was introduced the priest that created it made a mistake in computing the year of his birth. In the Roman Empire the years were counted since the foundation of Rome (21 April 753BC) and there was a mistake of 4 years. Jesus was not born in 753 FR (Foundation of Rome), but 4 years earlier, in 749 FR, which means 4 BC. (Though some argue it was 3 BC (some say 11 september 3BC) others even 5BC.)Quote:

Yes, your name can be changed, but you can't do it. You must contact Brad, provide a good reason and he can do that since he has access to the database.
BTW, Mick also changed his name, in his early days was known as Mick2002.
I'm currious what name you want. By your avatar I would say something like "bug_in_the_machine" would be appropriate. :D
This is my full name
Okay.. thanks Cilu for the info ..will try reaching him but a little bit later may be.Quote:

Initially it attracted me a lot ..and hence I kept it when I couldnt find something better and not taken away by others..but now it seems a bit odd ... :pQuote:

"Byte ptr" lets the assembler know you want to store a byte. This must be done if variable was declared as a word. (DW). If variable is declared as a byte (DB), the "byte ptr" can be ommited. :D
I registered with this name coz its programming/developers forum and im also programming in ASM. That's all.
Some members interpret my id as "RXB Again", but there's nothing symbolic/meaningful on it except my real name. My name is Rex Bagain and I just removed the "e" in it.
Anyway, I carry this name in most online registrations like yahoo, hotmail, aol etc.
Aha, so you're the king. ;) Is your real name Rex?
Yup, it's really Rex. I'm not sure though if they got it from Latin or they just picked it somewhere. :D
I wanted to be a musician and I dreamt of my records going Platinum.Quote:

Someone has asked me this question before, but let me explain here too: my user name is my firstname without the underscore. Since "cherish" is almost always taken as username, I came up w/ "che_rish". That's all there is to it. :D
It is nice to see you after a long long time :wave:Quote:

Yes, but I know he's very busy with other things just to be bothered with changing a username, right? :)
Well he may have other things...that's up to him, but when he is the chief of CG he *has* to listen to the other CGians. Ejaz had is name changed so has Shuja (vb_the_best) and Nauman (Abdul Nauman). You can PM him with the request just as you PM others here. No additional formalities...
Oh, okay. Thanks for tip, Mathew. :)
About Naumaan and Shuja, its true, but I haven't get my name changed. ;)Quote:

You are really scared aren't you :lol: ??
Be a more frequent visitor to Feedback forum and you can see others grumbing, not to mention mine :D
Yes... a bit. Anyways, its too late now. I already sent him a PM. I wonder how it will turn out. :sick:
It is not late. You still have the option of deleteing if he hasn't read. I think it is only if you have requested a read receipt.
:D
EDIT: I wonder what the contents of it will be
Respected hon. Brad,
I consider thee as most high and exalted. Thy awsome presense in this forum is very much appreciated. I consider it a previlage to message thee privately....
At the time of joining CG, I was lucky that no one else has this name, otherwise I had to have something with it.Quote:

Ooooh. I'm scared. Not. :lol:
Maybe you didn't read my edit :D
Nah. Your edit came in too late. :pQuote:

No, I didn't say "please" but my message was very respectful.
Maybe you need to close your eyes when reading the response as well ;)
I'm sure Brad! will certainly laugh seeing this part of the thread :D
Brad : :ehh:
che_rish: :o

There are things that bump in night, and Bradula is the one that bumps back. Just wait a while and you'll realise that we were not scaring you. :p

See how much people care about you, cherish :DQuote:
