For the anecdote, I was also thinking about the ASCII standard, in which most of the first characters are useless with stuff like UTF-8, I'm also trying to think about some tinier and faster character encoding. Edit: It may be worth adding to this, as some are insisting that those saying bytes are always octets, are confusing bytes with words. Again we see here a difference between C and C++ where int is defined in terms of word-size and long being defined to take advantage of a processor which has a "long word" concept should such exist, though possibly being identical in a given case to int. was a mixture of commercial success, it being a convenient enough number for the people thinking about it (which would have fed into each other) and no doubt other reasons I'm completely ignorant of.

The device can only be accessible by your unique 7-15 digit PIN, which is entered via the on-board alphanumeric keypad, giving yourself the peace of mind that whether your drive is misplaced or stolen, your data cannot be accessed by prying eyes.In languages which aim to be more consistent across machines, rather than reflecting the machine architecture, byte tends to be fixed in the language, and these days this generally means it is defined in the language as 8-bit.

Extended ASCII codes (such as ANSI character sets) used the 8th bit to expand the character set with graphics, accented characters and other symbols. Built-in to the datAshur is a rechargeable battery allowing the user to enter a 7-15-digit PIN onto the on-board keypad before connecting the drive to a USB port. If you are using a computer (or at a higher abstraction level, a programming language) where bytes are 8-bit, then this is easy to do, otherwise you need some conversion code (or coversion in hardware).

With no software or drivers required, the datAshur's advanced security features include auto-lock and brute force protection, delivering complete data security and guaranteeing 100% protection of your data at all times. The concept of octet exists precisely because 8-bit bytes are common (hence the choice of using them as the basis of such standards) but not universal (hence the need for another word to avoid ambiguity). NET languages take the approach of defining int and long as fixed across all architecutres, and making dealing with the differences an issue for the runtime (particularly the JITter) to deal with.The metal displaced by the head flows smoothly and evenly around the ribs and into the annular groove – creating a flushhead assembly and securely locking the stud into the sheet with high torque-out and pushout resistances. SI (Standard Inserts) Molded-In Inserts are installed during the molding process, and the inserts are located in the mold cavity by core pins. NET the size of a pointer (in unsafe code) will vary depending on architecture to be the underlying word size, rather than a language-imposed word size. My question is a little too metaphysical, but I want to make sure it's just an historical reason and not a technological or mathematical reason.

Given the point in history when they were made, and that most machines now have 8-bit bytes, the distinction is largely moot, though it's not impossible to implement a compiler, run-time, etc. All data transferred to the datAshur PRO2 is encrypted in real-time with built in military grade AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption. Type FHA is recommended for use in aluminum sheets HRB (Rockwell “B” scale) 50 or less and HB (Hardness Brinell) 82 or less.Hence, octet, byte and word are all very independent of each other, despite the relationship of octet == byte and word being a whole number of bytes (and a whole binary-round number like 2, 4, 8 etc.
