Today, I am coming out of the closet to all of you.
I hereby declare that I identify as Hexidecimal.
My pronouns are: "thing", and "it".
You may now refer to me by my real name: 0x5C008A
But feel free to call me #5c008a for short.
Just don't call me @scu8a.
Your comments of support are greatly appreciated.

I am humbled.

Looks like it was moved to a random place.

It's actually the reply to the post I linked to, sorry.

Yes, I think it was deleted. After first posting it, I realized that I had misspelled "hexadecimal" as "hexidecimal". I did it in this post, too. D'oh! 
So I edited the post to change the spelling of hexadecimal, and shortly thereafter the thread disappeared. Being new here, I assumed that the forum Gods did not approve of the post. That's fine; the forums belong to them, and they work hard to maintain them. I respect that.
The topic amuses me, and I'm curious how you guys would reply. I decided to approach it differently and post again. The worst that can happen is that the post is denied, right?
The other day, I saw a bumper sticker. It read "My AR-15 identifies as a Musket". I had to laugh when I read it. Previous to seeing that, I came across a cartoon depicting a man on a motorcycle riding ahead of a group of bicyclists. The caption below read "Motorcyclist who identifies as a cyclist wins the Tour De France". I couldn't help but laugh at that one, too.
The world is a ridiculous place. If you don't laugh, you're gonna cry.
BTW, what does the hex code you replied with mean? I assume it's code for "dude"?

Same. Although they've let other pollical posts though, so I'm starting to have less and less respect for some people.

Learn how to spell hexadecimal.

I got an astrology book in Russian and interested to convert it into English to take a look.
Somehow google can not convert PDF file as a whole.
any recommendation?

Use one of the conversion tools to change the PDF to something that Google can handle. There's got to be something out there that can do PDF text extraction and conversion to UTF-8 if needed.
It might take a couple steps: extraction to simple text, then character set translation (a Russian code page for example to UTF-8).

Getting the text is the trick. The PDF may just be images (of text); then you need OCR.

Just make it up. It's astrology, not astronomy. Since it's all mumbo-jumbo BS, who'll be able to tell the difference?

Oh, you're bad.

I used it as my astronomy and mainly check aspects of the planets etc..

If you want a planetary ephemeris, they are available for a small sum on Amazon and presumably other sites. I use a 10-year ephemeris good till 2030.
If you want specifically astrological references, I'm certain that you can find them in English.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

why would you wish to do such a thing . it is after all astrology . how can Russian astrology not be just as stupid as English astrology . no doubt there are more interesting / productive ways to spend your time .
