Spelling of people names varies from language to language even if the orginal one is written in the latin alphabet.
And it seems that a language is not even consistant in the way it spells something. Old arabic mathematicians are spellt in French "ibn something". For example we write ibn Musa al-Khawarizmi: this is the guy from which name the word "algorithm is derived (sorry of my convoluted English). But we say "Ben Laden". So much for rm -f /bin/laden in French. Go figure. (OT) Anyway, like any human being, if captured, Ben Laden is entitled to a fair trial. Very strange, America spoke of war before it was clear countries were involved but once it got people captured in what it called itself a war, it does not apply the Geneva convention. Probably good to read Chomsky to get things straight. -- stefp -- check out TeXmacs wiki In reply to Re: Re: Re: Vigenere Cipher: Encode and Decode
