Russia Is Torn Over Push for Use of Cyrillic Web Domains
By CLIFFORD J. LEVY
Computer users are worried that a move by the Russian government would end up restricting access to the Internet.

Or so the thinking goes, anyway. The problem is that over the course of the 20th century, greatness has turned out to be an increasingly blurry business. In part, that’s a reflection of the standard narrative of postmodernism, according to which all uppercase ideals — Truth, Beauty, Justice — must come in for questioning.



Omicron or Omikron (uppercase Ο, lowercase ο, literally "small o" : Όμικρον, o mikron, micron meaning 'small' in contrast to omega) is the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 70. It is rarely used in mathematics because it is indistinguishable from the Latin letter O and easily confused with the digit 0. This letter is equal to the Phoenician letter Ayin. In modern Greek, Omicron represents the sound IPA: [ɔː]. Letters that arose from omicron include Roman O and Cyrillic O.
