Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

iago use the linux
I'm pretty sure this was posted on here before. iago or someone articulated the reasoning behind it quite well, if I remember correctly.
Well la de da. Didn't look for it. I didn't recall hearing about it, so I assumed it wasn't already posted.
No, I remember it being posted here less than a year ago. "Old" Here's the link.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests
You might be right about that, Joe.
Long story short: it's because of a bug when deciding whether or not a file is unicode. And incidentally, it's not all about 4 3 3 5. For example, "Bush hid the truth" doesn't work.

For example, "Bush hid the truth" doesn't work. It's not really a bug. A heuristic is being used to guess whether a text file with no indication as to whether it is Unicode or not is probably Unicode. As such, it's really just making an educated guess based on whether something is likely Unicode or not, and like most guesses, sometimes it gets it wrong.
And it doesn't learn from its mistakes either! Sheesh.

.... It was a joke. And there would be a mistake. It would have to make atleast one mistake first before it learned from it. That's how you learn from mistakes, you make them.

That's how you learn from mistakes, you make them.How's it going to learn from a mistake if it's unable to identify it? That was my point.
Hmm, I wonder if there's some way to fool it for longer text?That might be useful for somebody who wants to raise the bar for viewing source on their website, since IE opens source in notepad.
That's assuming they take the entire file as a sample. Perhaps they take the first 1024 bytes, in which case it'd be much more possible.
I don't know about you, but I'd hate to have to click "Yep, it's encoded correctly" every time I opened something with notepad.
