Actually it’s Сорм.

The russians don’t use the latin alphabet. If I search for COPM using google, I’m not going to get the same results as searching for Сорм. An attempt to render Cyrillic using Latin-1 is like publishing a article using screencaptures of your word processor instead of actual text.

So, does this differ substantially from what was done in the US?

Now Vovik has someone of his own to serve a lawsuit to for breaking an NDA related to state surveillance. Although “lawsuit”, translated from the Russian, means “polonium cocktail” in these cases.

Kind of like the difference between I and l . (capital i and lower case L) Even if the gylpfs are the same in a particular font the letters are different)
