Once is not "every so often" [0] and reposting something that you feel is worthwhile but didn't gain traction is acceptable. This is mentioned in the FAQ [1] as it's basically a "keep it reasonable" honor system. Sometimes when you post something matters. For example, I've posted something and it got 1 upvote and fell off the front page - then was reposted 2 days later by someone else and was on the front page for the day. I just had poor timing as there were other far more popular stories going on at the time.
>Are reposts ok?
>If a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we kill reposts as duplicates. If not, a small number of reposts is ok.
On topic: I agree with Aardwolf, I prefer Hexadecimal but having a better symbols for A-F would improve it.

I assumed (incorrectly) that 2 links I saw via google would have made this 3 at least)
