Great Renaming          The {flag day} in 1986 on which all of the       non-local groups on the {Usenet} had their names changed from       the net.- format to the current multiple-hierarchies scheme.       Used especially in discussing the history of newsgroup names.       "The oldest sources group is comp.sources.misc; before the       Great Renaming, it was net.sources."          {FAQ (http://www.vrx.net/usenet/history/rename.html)}.          [{Jargon File}]          (2000-07-14)

Great Runes          Uppercase-only text or display messages.   Some archaic       {operating system}s still emit these.          See also {runes}, {smash case}, {fold case}.          Decades ago, back in the days when it was the sole supplier of       long-distance hardcopy transmittal devices, the Teletype       Corporation was faced with a major design choice.   To shorten       code lengths and cut complexity in the printing mechanism, it       had been decided that teletypes would use a monocase font,       either ALL UPPER or all lower.   The Question Of The Day was       therefore, which one to choose.   A study was conducted on       readability under various conditions of bad ribbon, worn print       hammers, etc.   Lowercase won; it is less dense and has more       distinctive letterforms, and is thus much easier to read both       under ideal conditions and when the letters are mangled or       partly obscured.   The results were filtered up through       {management}.   The chairman of Teletype killed the proposal       because it failed one incredibly important criterion:             "It would be impossible to spell the name of the Deity          correctly."          In this way (or so, at least, hacker folklore has it)       superstition triumphed over utility.   Teletypes were the major       input devices on most early computers, and terminal       manufacturers looking for corners to cut naturally followed       suit until well into the 1970s.   Thus, that one bad call stuck       us with Great Runes for thirty years.          (1994-12-02)
