Or
"Low-Level Programming Bible"
Or
"Low-Level Programmers Heaven"
Or
something like "underground" sounds good, but if someone hear it, does not understand what is about.

I like "Underground" nothing more, nothing less, but i thing there is allready a magazine with that name.
What about "Ground Zero"?

I like Ground Zero, The Underground or Low-Level Programming Bible.

Why does the word "Bible" have to come up in every other topic here?

"Ground Zero" might offend Americans.....

The Underground.. Well, that shouldn't offend anyone..

I can see why, but thats only because it is misinterpeted. Originally Ground Zero was the middle of Pentagon.

And alternative could be Ground One

Yeah, ground zero is not a good idea.

I googled around a bit and found The Underground (with the THE) is not a magazine at all, and the only one close was called UndergroundZine and it is a hardcore music lovers e-zine that isn't looking to good lol.

Alternate names could be Underground Code, the Underground Hackers Magazine, the Underground Coders Magazine.. etc...

I mean... we are hackers for the most part (without the malicious misconceptions).

It may offend Transport For London, who run the London Underground Railway (just known as 'The Underground' or 'The Tube' if you live in London). Having said that, I doubt many TFL employees are in to OSDev

I also fail to see the offensive part towards them?

AJ · Post by AJ » Fri Feb 22, 2008 11:34 am

Well, OK - I was just really meaning that you can always find another meaning for a phrase (particularly when there are so many people from different countries and cultures on this board). You will always find someone to offend...

Cheers,
Adam

How about "The Underground Hacker's Magazine" and abbreviate it to "tUHM"?

it really shouldn't be to long a name.
"0xAA55" would be kinda cool, but only if you know what it means, and then again, not really.

"Don't (kernel) Panic" ? or "10010000b" one byte NOP instruction

damn, i don't have an imagination...

I think "0xAA55" is a good idea and if you do not know what it means, you will not be interested in the mag anyway.

you might be right, but still, i don't really think its that cool, but i hav eno other suggestions
