Okay. I'm digging up this old post I typed up on another forum.

This started back in 2001. One classmate had this obsession of calling himself 'THE man', so I countered that one day by creating a personal site (now long dead) called 'the REAL man's site'. :whistle: The problem was that 'realman' was used a thousand times, with numbers following the word 'realman'. Since the year was 2001, the online form suggested I use 'realman20010', so I accepted. For the next two years, I would use 'realman20010' whenever I signed up for something on a site, for instance, Hotmail (my email still remains to this day as realman20010 at hotmail dot com).

However, starting from 2003 I thought having the word 'realman' in my nicknames was a bit foolish, and plus I don't have such a big ego in real life. ;) I abbreviated it to RM20010 (or rm20010) ... and that remains as my nickname ever since.

Back in the early years of Active Worlds (when it was cool - hey, it WAS cool), a bunch of my friends owned a few different "worlds." One of my friends met someone called RealmX, I believe, who helped him work on his world. My world was called Dreamscape, so I used that for DreamX, but it was taken. Added "The" and the legend was born :D

First four letters in my first name + first four letters in my surname = My username.

I used to be called "ProxXect" which I came up with somehow while playing James Bond: Nightfire online back in 2002 when I was 12. Nowadays I'm older and more mature and I've realized what an unprofessional, odd and silly name ProxXect was, so I've changed my username wherever I could to "martskre" which I think looks and sounds much more professional.

I still go by ProxXect in Jedi Outcast though, whenever I dust off that old game and play online with my clan.

Snyper.

back in middle-school and my ICQ days, my name used to be meta-morfo - mainly 'cause I had this habbit of spoofing e-mails and pretending to be other people on-lie (yes, I was a very bad person).

after 2 years with that handle, some of my friends started to call me "morfo" or "morf" for short.

I was also a fan of "Ahh! Real Monsters" at the time and Ickis was my favorite character, but I thought it was spelled "ickus" at the time :p

meta-morfo --> morfo + Ickis(ickus) = morficus

dispite what many people think... it is not a matrix rip-off (morpheus), 'cause I've had this handle since 98-ish, and Matrix did't come out 'till 99

Mine was pretty good.

I dunno when I cam up with it... but my name is Sahil so thats where the Sah comes from and I put Crazy before it to make Crazysah. I put Crazy because I had to come up with some crazy and unusual name. So I came up with Crazysah!

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
