First we thought the PC was a calculator. Then we found out how to turn numbers into letters with ASCII — and we thought it was a typewriter. Then we discovered graphics, and we thought it was a television. With the World Wide Web, we've realized it's a brochure.
Douglas Adams
I knew she’d have an ASCII table in there somewhere. All computer geeks do.
Andy Weir (The Martian)
determined that the information content of typical written English was 1.0 to 1.2 bits per letter. This means that a good compression algorithm should be able to compress ASCII English text—which is 8 bits per letter—to about ⅛th of its original size.
Randall Munroe (What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions)

ASCII text files, in other words, are telegrams, and as such they have no typographical frills. But for the same reason they are eternal, because the code never changes, and universal, because every text-editing and word-processing software ever written knows about this code.

AsciiDoc is similar in intent to Markdown, except that it can render to more backends than just HTML5.

IBM launched its Chess machine, renamed simply the Personal Computer, in August 1981, a scant four months after the Star. Judged against the technology PARC had brought forth, it was a homely and feeble creature. Rather than bitmapped graphics and variable typefaces, its screen displayed only ASCII characters, glowing a hideous monochromatic green against a black background. Instead of a mouse, the PC had four arrow keys on the keyboard that laboriously moved the cursor, character by character and line by line. No icons, no desktop metaphor, no multitasking windows, no e-mail, no Ethernet. Forswearing the Star’s intuitive point-and-click operability, IBM forced its customers to master an abstruse lexicon of typed commands and cryptic responses developed by Microsoft, its software partner. Where the Star was a masterpiece of integrated reliability, the PC had a perverse tendency to crash at random (a character flaw it bequeathed to many subsequent generations of Microsoft Windows-driven machines). But where the Star sold for $16,595-plus, the IBM PC sold for less than $5,000, all-inclusive. Where the Star’s operating system was closed, accessible for enhancement only to those to whom Xerox granted a coded key, the PC’s circuitry and microcode were wide open to anyone willing to hack a program for it—just like the Alto’s. And it sold in the millions.
Michael A. Hiltzik (Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age)
Guessing that the string may actually be a hex encoding of a string of ASCII characters, you can run it through a decoder to reveal the following: user = daf; app = admin; date = 10/ 09/ 11 Attackers can exploit the meaning within this session token to attempt to guess the current sessions of other application users.
Dafydd Stuttard (The Web Application Hacker's Handbook: Finding and Exploiting Security Flaws)
What is polarity? The measurement of gravity What is purity? The measurement of light " " Finite = NotFalse/IsTrue % Infinite; Rectangular = Triangle/Square % Circular; Ratio = Pyquad % Sequence; ASCII = Hexagonals % Decimals; Prismatics = Polarity % Purity; Music = Octave % LikeHymn; " e.g. It's IF " Only The Penitent Man Shall Pass " - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Jonathan R. Mckinney
Kepler quickly designed a script, an automatically executing command sequence that converted the six-character code into an ASCII sequence.
Brandon Q. Morris (Ghost Kingdom (The Death of the Universe, #2))
Computers can use combinations of bits to represent anything; the number of bits depends on the number of messages that need to be distinguished. Imagine, for example, a computer that works with the letters of the alphabet. Five-bit input signals can represent thirty-two different possibilities (25 = 32). Functions within the computer that work on letters sometimes use such a code, although they more often use an encoding with seven or eight bits, to allow representation of capitals, punctuation marks, numerals, and so on. Most modern computers use the standard representation of alphabet letters called ASCII (an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange). In ASCII, the sequence 1000001 represents the capital letter A, and 1000010 represents the capital B, and so on. The convention, of course, is arbitrary.
William Daniel Hillis (The Pattern on the Stone: The Simple Ideas that Make Computers Work)
Сильные люди конвертируют фильмы в ASCII-art, слабые люди смотрят то, что сконвертировали сильные, а ленивые используют mplayer :)
