hex: 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.
