Hexspeak is a novelty form of variant English spelling using the hexadecimal digits. Created by programmers as memorable magic numbers, hexspeak words can serve as a clear and unique identifier with which to mark memory or data.Hexadecimal notation represents numbers using the 16 digits 0123456789ABCDEF. Using only the letters ABCDEF it is possible to spell several words. Further words can be made by treating some of the decimal numbers as letters - the digit "0" can represent the letter "O", and "1" can represent the letters "I" or "L". Less commonly, "5" can represent "S", "7" represent "T", "12" represent "R" and "6" or "9" can represent "G" or "g", respectively. Numbers such as 2, 4 or 8 can be used in a manner similar to leet or rebuses; e.g. the word "defecate" can be expressed either as DEFECA7E or DEFEC8.CodeDecimalDescription0x0000000FF1CE1044942("office") is used as the last part of product codes (GUID) for Microsoft Office components (visible in registry under the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall registry key).0x00BAB10C12235020("uber (ooba) block") is used as the magic number for the ZFS uberblock.0x1BADB002464367618("1 bad boot"[1]) Multiboot header magic number.[2]0x4B1D19229("forbid") was a password in some calibration consoles for developers to peer deeper into control registers outside the normal calibration memory range.[citation needed]0x50FFC0011358938113("soff[t] cool") was used as a macintosh debug value to help identify nil references, and later to cause bus failures.[3][4]0x8BADF00D2343432205("ate bad food") is used by Apple in iOS crash reports, when an application takes too long to launch, terminate, or respond to system events.[5]0xABADBABE2880289470("a bad babe") was/is used by Microsoft's Windows 7 to trigger a debugger break-point, probably when a USB device is attached[6]0xACE0FBA5E46406810206("Ace of Base") Ace of Base is a swedish pop band, which was very successful in the nineties0xB105F00D2969956365("BIOS food") is the value of the low bytes of last four registers on ARM PrimeCell compatible components (the component_id registers), used to identify correct behaviour of a memory-mapped component.0xB16B00B52976579765("big boobs") was required by Microsoft's Hyper-V hypervisor to be used by Linux guests as their "guest signature".[7] One proposal suggested changing it to 0x0DEFACED ("defaced"),[8] but it was instead initially changed to decimal and then replaced entirely.[9]0x0B00B135184594741("boobies") was likewise required by Microsoft's Hyper-V hypervisor to be used by a user of XEN as their user id.[10] It was removed on January 22, 2010.[11]0xBAAAAAAD3131746989("baaaaaad") is used by Apple's iOS exception report to indicate that the log is a stackshot of the entire system, not a crash report.[12]0xBAADF00D3131961357("bad food") is used by Microsoft's LocalAlloc(LMEM_FIXED) to indicate uninitialised allocated heap memory when the debug heap is used.[13]0xBAD222223134333474("bad too repeatedly") is used by Apple's iOS exception log to indicate that a VoIP application has been terminated by iOS because it resumed too frequently.[12]0xBADDCAFE3135097598("bad cafe") is used by Libumem to indicate uninitialized memory area.0xCAFEB0BA3405689018("cafe boba") is used by datp as canned return value for QKit MFCC keyword detection for Host GUI development since his colleague likes coffee (and maybe boba, too).[citation needed]0xB0BABABE2965027518("boba babe") is used by pton as Host GUI Ack to QKit MFCC keyword detection response.0xBEEFBABE3203381950("beef babe") is used by the 1997
