Ascii is an asteroid named after that code.. And devuan should certainly run when one's computer is on an asteroid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3568_ASCII http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=3568+ASCII#content Different names of asteroids seem to appeara on the different database. Ascii does not appear on the lists of asteroids and minor planets at http://www.nofs.navy.mil/festsci/list/astname.html or http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/lists/MPNames.html ceres, by the way, is an asteroid too, on both lists. I haven't found jessie on the asteroids name list at http://www.nofs.navy.mil/festsci/list/astname.html, but did find Jessiecheng. Jessie is on the list at the minor planet center. On the JPL small body database browser, I find http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=1+CERES#content http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=3568+ASCII#content http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=10464+JESSIE#content -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
