Off topic, but I wonder if the authors of zero-to-nix.com are aware that their project name actually reads quite funny for German speakers (as "Nix" in German also means Zero)
In Dutch, "niks" (same pronunciation as Nix), actually means "nothing".
His nickname is niksnut, which means "good-for-nothing".
In german that would be Nichtsnutz. Would the english word deadbeat mean the same?
