Aren't we all?
I think it's more a shark dorsal fin, but don't know for sure.
Yes. Please deposit 800 microsoft points on B3D's account. Thank you and have a nice day.
Your old posts will be under the new name.
@ homerdog; Shifty Geezer and Arwin: Individually you're all partially correct, and collectively close...
Firstly: "Jaws" not only contains a few initials from my name, but it's also one of my all-time favourite films. However, I didn't want it to be associated with the hilariously bad (and therefore awesome!) character from the James Bond films... So I put a "^" between the first 2 letters to represent a "shark fin"... This is the literal representation of the username...
Secondly: I didn't want to use a 'circumflex' to modify the pronunciation of "Jaws", but to use it allegorically, in more than one sense. And "Tooth" is a word that you can easily associate with a shark, e.g. It can bite back...
Thirdly: It's all lower case because this allegorically represents my interest in mathematical expressions, specifically Complex Numbers. It reads:
j^(aws)
... The expression itself doesn't mean anything specific, it represents a theme for Complex Numbers; their simplicity and the complexity they 'hide'... A capital "J" for example, could represent a Jacobian Matrix; instead the lowercase "j" represents Imaginary Unit "j" (aka "i") etc... The symbols themselves are often found in various functions and formulae...
Anyway, It's been so long that I almost forgot why; I think I originally tried to register (old forums) with j^aws, but I had some trouble for some reason and just settled with Jaws. I've used the username j^aws almost as long as a Jaws, but on other forums though; it's kinda weird coming back to "Jaws".
Okay that's cool. Please let me know when it's done. And a sincere thank you in advance is worth more, and will last longer than any MS points, or console! ;P

I want to change my name to PhysX. Thanks.
Which mods/ staff have the power (no pun intended) to change names? Just asking, so I don't have to chase anyone in particular...
jmagine a white shark, roaming the planes of Mother Earth; its mate is its sensor, and blood is its major. It makes no distinction between bees, nor Aussies; it just be. It's neither puny nor old, but imaginary and timeless; it just be.

When did Jaws turn French? 
When did Jaws turn French?
BriT said:
It does occasionally turn French, but only for their bread-like cuisine. The kind its jaws can nonchalantly nibble and gnaw on; and serrate the spleen. The kind that smells like crunchy-blood; buttered-blood, to surrender to, with a hint of lime. And blood-like wine, that tastes sublime; cultured by Space, and Father Time.
