Making The Case That Voynich Is A Hoax
DeadVulcan writes "The Voynich Manuscript, a mysterious book of uncertain age, is widely believed to be written either in an unknown language or a long-lost encryption scheme. Nature reports that computer scientist Gordon Rugg has demonstrated that it's possible to generate a text like the Voynich manuscript -- containing language-like regularities, despite being potentially meaningless -- using cryptographic techniques of the time. This lends some support to those who claim that the book is a hoax."

HAHAHAHA...funny as hell.

A blog about stuff.
FUDmaster reports "The SCO arguements, a mysterious book of uncertain age, is widely believed to be written either in an unknown language or a long-lost encryption scheme. Groklaw reports that computer scientist Gordon Fud has demonstrated that it's possible to generate a text like the SCO arguements -- containing language-like regularities, despite being potentially meaningless -- using cryptographic techniques of the time. This lends some support to those who claim that the manuscript is a hoax. Dr Fud calls this language legalese and it is so convincing that major thinkers of the day are struggling to comprehend it!" Wow what do other slashdot readers think? (laugh it's funny - if off-topic)
blog and junk
Now that I stare at this lustingly, I realize taht I don't think I've seen it in bold before. Thanks you vely much.
my companies site has been slashdotted lol, going to be a hell of a traffic day :/ damnit why did u guys have to make me pay attention and do alot of work on new years eve :)
Ha-haha. Not.
Well, I could say the same thing about this famous book, and let's see how funny that is. Just because you disagree with Ms. Clinton (one of the few female politicians, and a good one at that!) doesn't mean that her work is trash and undecipherable gibberish.
I normally wouldn't respond to this sort of a troll, but this sort of sheer idiociy makes my blood boil- though not as much as the asinine modding up of this troll.
The Library at Rotten. Its got a fuckton of actually entertaining and fairly informative articles on subject matters from pissing to bizzare religious beliefs, and conspiracy theory.

Since slashdot is a place for nerds, I propose binary to be accepted as official language :)

Fortunately the article didn't show the goatse illustration.

No, no. She's a blithering idiot who didn't actually live in the state she ran for office in, therefore her book is gibberish.
Republicans are not immune from writing crapola either, btw...
