Hiding secret messages in email jokes

An alternative to such steganography would be to hide a message in plain sight within a plain text document. Unfortunately, despite the much smaller file sizes that would be possible, secreting a message within normal text usually disrupts the grammar and syntax or the spelling and so immediately looks suspicious.

CodePlex - Open Source Project Hosting

Microsoft's open source project hosting web site. You can use CodePlex to find open source software or create new projects to share with the world.

First, whenever some other modules are mentioned in a review, it should perhaps be shown as reviews/mentions for that module. For example, just minutes ago I added four reviews each for Text::ASCIITable::TW, Text::CharWidth, Text::VisualWidth, and Text::VisualWidth::PP.

What would Psychic::Ninja do? | brian d foy [blogs.perl.org]

I have the Psychic::Ninja namespace. I was making a new GitHub repository, and GitHub suggested that name. I took it, but I had no idea what to do with it. I created a distribution that doesn't do anything. I've been thinking about what a psychic ninja would actually do.

Stereoscopic 3D movies have been kicking around since the 1890s, and the fad gained steam in the 1950s. It's worth experiencing in theaters at least once, but it's something of a novelty. Nothing substantial, right? Maybe not for entertainment purposes, but 3D technology has the potential to help surgeons work faster and more precisely.

Do we want CPAN to be some sort of an ISBN authority, where we merely dole out namespaces and unique IDs? There should be no requirements of content or any editorial activity on the modules. We should not discourage (nor encourage?) experimental modules or implemetations, modules for personal or semi-private use, etc.

High Scalability - High Scalability - If Your System was a Symphony it Might Sound Like This...

Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at 9:30AM I am in no way a music expert, but when I listen to Symphony No. 4 by Charles Ives, I imagine it's what a complex software/hardware system might sound like if we could hear its inner workings. Ives uses a lot of riotously competing rhythms in this work.

Whats wrong with the Perl Community? | Sven Eppler [blogs.perl.org]

Hi There, this is my first post here. I never thought about blogging here, because i just didn't felt to do so. But the last weeks made me to think over this. More and more i read negative stuff about Perl coming from the people using Perl. This irritates me.

In an interview with Andrew Binstock in 2012, Alan Kay described the browser as "a joke." If that surprises you, you'll be glad to know that Mr. Binstock was surprised as well. Part of the problem Kay pointed out is well-known: feature-set. Browsers are doing today what word-processors and presentation tools have done for decades.
