I don't know what? If you're just here to randomly insult people, please leave. Update: ah, you just mishandled the threading. But still... I asked very specific questions, in order to under…
comment
Absolutely. But the two "g" haven't diverged, yet. We don't give out code points to speculative future developments. If and when they diverge one will get its very own code point.…
comment
Some. I know that not every letter has been Han-unified, but I don't know the specifics. Is it possible, that this problem of yours has actually been taken care of? If not, is it possible that it…
comment
Actually, I can't. I can decipher quite a bit with lots of effort, but I wouldn't call that "reading". And there are very few people around who can read all those (especially Textu…
comment
No, you don't. It's the same letter and it's always "goto". Your local setup determines the look of the glyph, so nobody sees an unfamiliar form. But maybe you'd like to …
comment
Antiqua, Fractura, Schwabacher, Textura and all those other charming variants of writing European languages don't have seperate code points for all those presentational variations. Do we white We…
comment
But Unicode emphatically does not define a rendering, a glyph. To me it sounds like the rendering needs to be fixed, not Unicode.
comment
As usual, the S looks strange. No wonder Knuth dedicated a whole chapter to this one letter in "Digital Typography".
comment
I don't see any real connection. The HTTP header doesn't make the requested web page be sent over and over. A better way would have been to establish a series of SMTP servers ("towers&q…
comment
That's been disproven. Sweden did not interrogate those suspects in order to "charge" them, but in an earlier state of the murder investigation.
comment
Yes, I think he would be arrested immediately, but I guess there's no reason to keep him. The bail has been forfeited. And if the prime cause for the arrest warrant is gone, he would (and should)…
comment
Why can't the police just enter your house and use your LEGO toys? Because the laws forbid them to. Not because your house is extraterritorial.
comment
He was not "charged", because that's not a Swedish word. But all the courts involved in the matter, in Sweden and abroad, have come to the conclusion, that the procedural state Assange …
comment
Of course it's part of the UK. Will the old urban legend about extraterritoriality never die?
comment
Single words aren't too useful, because there are many ambiguities. You'd better use simple sentences. Another thing: Be very careful about capitalization. I just got "Sie means they&qu…
comment
Oh, they "just missed adding the statement with the update". How reassuring! I see two possible cases: 1. They have been served and are compelled to mislead their customers. 2. They are incr…

> See section 8 of http://cr.yp.to/cv/activities-20050107.pdf Last sentence in the paper: "I won't be satisfied until I've put the entire security industry out …
comment
We also have plea bargaining, in various forms.
comment
I wish we could all just leave off those "of course, I'm not condoning the threats" statements and also the "you didn't include such a statement, would you like to add it?&quo…
comment
Good enough. Everyone has exactly this board. I don't have to worry about whether the compatibility promises carry some footnotes with them. Arduino is about having a common baseline. People who …
comment
That has been there for some time now. In the board overview you'll find it listed as coming soon.
comment
Absolutely, the AVRs have a huge hobbyist community, but they have really aged. I can see why people who are well-versed in AVRs and their tool chain stick to it, but everyone starting today won'…
comment
There are several Cortex chips. Cortex A (with rather high numbers) are relatively high performance chips, commonly found in one board computers, something like the BeagleBoard. Cortex M are microcont…
comment
Is it? I don't know about the construction of crime in America, but it surprises me. In Germany there are three prongs to a crime, all of which must be fulfilled: elements of the crime, lawlessne…
comment
Although there seem to have been parts of it that hadn't been formally verified: "Using Csmith, we found previously unknown bugs in unproved parts of CompCert—bugs that cause this compiler t…
