That said, I have experimented a couple of times with national non-ascii variable names, and I think that such programs are actually easier to read and more fun to write.
In particular when the problem domain is highly national it often is counter-productive to try to invent english names for variables, since these names would not be the ones used by the customer or related documentation.
So my programs use ascii for variable names (obvioulsy) but often in a mix of english and my own language, the ratio somewhat depending on the problem. Even standard english actions such as get/set/create... might be followed be national words.

In other news, yesterday US sent official greetings because of the national day June 17th, reminding Icelanders about good old times and promising friendship and support during the current financial crisis. (text Icelandic only, but there's a Hillary video)

It might ... maybe.

Since we're being pedantic, Eyja*fjöll* is the mountain (welcome to Icelandic). That said, the friendly natives as well speak of the cloud coming from the glacier/jökull.

Precisely my experience too. Being ten years wiser and more motivated made all the difference in the world.
Do -not- just read about the stuff, practice! Make errors, figure out what you did wrong, do it over again. And again. Though this may sound terrible now, finally getting the hang of these things will actually feel nice.
I also found it useful to make my own quick references (cheatsheets). The formulas stick better when written down by yourself. It's a bonus if you are allowed to use them on the exam, but if you really practice a lot you won't need them anyway.

tortious: "having the nature of or involving a tort; wrongful"

I should have looked up "tort" as well, but I'm not in a recursive mood today.

Honestly I don't see your problem. When working with files and drives, approximate sizes usually suffice. Give or take 10%, it rarely matters.

Now, if I really need to compare sizes, I use the single bytes. And if the numbers are big, SI prefixes *just work* unambiguously.

Graphviz ?

And while you get accustomed to it, you can use this friendly calculator in the meantime.

In cases where countries or organizations felt affected, they _would_ try to strong-arm Iceland to yield. I don't think that a small country would be able to stand up against much pressure from the outside. At the moment Iceland needs all the political friends it can get, and this move is not necessarily a step in that direction.

As such they do make a very interesting and non-gruesome read. We have come a long way.

I also found the article itself to be remarkably readable in every aspect (language, spelling and fonts). I did not expect that at all, but then again I am not in the habit of reading 17th century English.
