dread high bit disease
(foldoc) | dread high bit disease
A condition endemic to PRIME (also known as
"PR1ME") minicomputers that results in all the characters
having their high bit (0x80, see meta bit) ON rather than
OFF. This complicates transporting files to other systems and
talking to true 8-bit devices. Folklore had it that PRIME
adopted the convention in order to save 25 cents per {serial
line} per machine; PRIME old-timers, on the other hand, claim
they inherited the disease from Honeywell via customer
NASA's compatibility requirements and struggled heroically to
cure it. Whoever was responsible, this probably qualifies as
one of the most cretinous design tradeoffs ever made. A few
other machines have exhibited similar brain damage.

dread high-bit disease
(jargon) | dread high-bit disease
n.
A condition endemic to some now-obsolete computers and peripherals
(including ASR-33 teletypes and PRIME minicomputers) that results in all
characters having their high (0x80) bit forced on. This of course makes
transporting files to other systems much more difficult, not to mention the
problems these machines have talking with true 8-bit devices.
This term was originally used specifically of PRIME (a.k.a. PR1ME)
minicomputers. Folklore has it that PRIME adopted the reversed-8-bit
convention in order to save 25 cents per serial line per machine; PRIME
old-timers, on the other hand, claim they inherited the disease from
Honeywell via customer NASA's compatibility requirements and struggled
heroically to cure it. Whoever was responsible, this probably qualifies as
one of the most cretinous design tradeoffs ever made. See meta bit.

dread questionmark disease
(jargon) | dread questionmark disease
n. The result of saving HTML from Microsoft Word or some other program that
uses the nonstandard Microsoft variant of Latin-1; the symptom is that
various of those nonstandard characters in positions 128-160 show up as
questionmarks. The usual culprit is the misnamed ‘smart quotes’ feature in
Microsoft Word. For more details (and a program called demoroniser that
cleans up the mess) see http://www.fourmilab.ch/webtools/demoroniser/.
