Francis Bacon created this method of hiding one message within another. It is not a true cipher, but just a way to conceal your secret text within plain sight.
The way it originally worked is that the writer would use two different typefaces. One would be the "A" typeface and the other would be "B". Your message would be written with the two fonts intermingled, thus hiding your message within a perfectly normal text. There are two versions. For example, let's take the message "Test It" and encode it with the distinct codes for each letter.
When decoding, it will use "0", "A", and "a" as an "A"; "1", "B", and "b" are all equivalent as well. This is your encoded or decoded text: Fiscal FactCheck | FactCheck.org. Summary Washington's spending has recently been higher as a percentage of the nation's economic output than at any time since World War II. But by the same measure, Washington's revenues are the lowest in more than 60 years. So does the U.S. have "a spending problem," as Republicans keep repeating in the current debate over how to reduce the nation's record deficits?
Or is the problem that taxes are not high enough? Some key facts we think are worth considering: Federal spending ("outlays" in budget jargon) is expected to equal 24.1 percent of the nation's gross domestic product in the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. It's easy to argue one side or the other by just citing facts that support a particular view, and omitting others. Analysis A glance at this chart quickly puts our current fiscal mess in historical context. The current situation is a marked change from the booming 1990s. But then a string of deficits began in the fiscal year 2002, and there is no end in sight. U.S. Review of Richard Evans, Lying About Hitler.

The Irving Case For about a decade Richard Evans's (1987) book Death in Hamburg: Society and Politics in the Cholera Years 1830-1910 had been on my "read someday" list. But at the beginning of 2000 I ran across his name again. He was to be an expert witness for author Deborah Lipstadt in her defense against David Irving's charge that she had libeled him by calling him a "Holocaust denier.
" Irving had sued Lipstadt because her 1994 book Denying the Holocaust , had called him a "discredited" historian with "neofascist" connections, an ardent admirer of Hitler who "on some level... seems to conceive himself as carrying on Hitler's legacy," who skews documents and misquotes evidence to reach historically untenable conclusions in the interest of exonerating Hitler (see Evans (2000), p. 6). Holocaust Deniers and their Motivation.
Who Denies the Holocaust And Why Do They Deny It? By Amarnath Amarasingam The Holocaust may be a matter of debate but the question of whether it happened is most certainly not. Thousands of personal testimonies, tens of thousands of documents, and documentary films are all testaments to it and the horrors it represented. Hundreds of books have been written about the Holocaust and any clear commentary is usually welcome.
How is one to approach the deniers? Who Says the Holocaust Never Happened? The denial of the Holocaust has gone through its own unique form of evolution. As far as tangible organizations go, the Institute for Historical Review (IHR), situated in southern California, is the foremost Holocaust denial group in the United States, if not the world. The IHR was founded in 1978 by Willis Carto and gained popularity in 1980 with its headline-grabbing $50,000 challenge to anyone to prove that Jews were actually gassed at Auschwitz. Lipstadt and Penguin had succeeded. (Objective historian standard applied to determine libel in Irving v. Penguin Books Ltd)

My Decision to Testify for David Irving. By Kevin MacDonald The decision to testify for David Irving was an agonizing one for me and I want to make clear exactly why I did so. Irving approached me to testify in the trial because I had included the suppression of his book on Goebbels as an example of Jewish tactics for combating anti-Semitism in Separation and Its Discontents. Actually the suppression of Irving goes far beyond what I included in my book. Irving has been prevented from publishing his original archival research, from traveling to several countries, and even from giving lectures.
The second defendant in the case, Deborah Lipstadt, has contributed to this effort at censorship. My statement to the court and my entire testimony in court involved this issue, not the Holocaust or the culpability of Hitler. Irving's book on Goebbels was rescinded by St. In the trial, the defense argued that my testimony was irrelevant and the judge seemed to agree but then changed his mind when the link with Lipstadt was made clear.

GasBuddy - 50 Best Websites 2008. KurzweilAI.net. Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe. Two For One: Crackpot Physics and Crackpot Set Theory : Good Math, Bad Math. I was asked by a reader to take a look at yet another crackpot theory of everything. This time, it’s the Cognitive Theoretic Model of the Universe.
This one is as cranky as any, but it’s actually got some interestingly silly math to it. Stripped down to its basics, the CTMU is just yet another postmodern “perception defines the universe” idea. Nothing unusual about it on that level. The real universe has always been theoretically treated as an object, and specifically as the composite type of object known as a set. Right from the start, we can see the beginnings of how he’s going to use a supposedly set-theoretic notion. I particularly love this next bit. When theorizing about an all-inclusive reality, the first and most important principle is containment, which simply tells us what we should and should not be considering. Now for a brief word on sets. First – he gets the definition of set wrong. Yes, the solution is to take an unsound mathematical theory, and make it doubly unsound. Front Page.

In the 12 months since our last installment of Top 100 Web Sites, I'm betting you signed up for a Twitter account (and likely abandoned it), browsed the Web on a mobile phone (if you haven't yet, you soon will), and read 3.4 online news stories about Michael Jackson and watched 5.8 MJ videos on YouTube (I like this one).
In other words, some things about the Web are changing incredibly fast, others seem like they'll stay the same forever.

Why the Singularity isn't going to happen. Oh, Annalee... where to start? I'll keep my criticism simple, and focus on two things: First, your definition of a Singularity would likely be unrecognizable to actual Singularity theorists. It's not techno-nerd wish fulfillment (well, not JUST such wish fulfillment).
It's a simple breaking point that renders what comes after incomprehensible to what came before. It's not the development of better medicines or faster computers. It's the development OF medicine, or the development OF computers. Actually, even that's looking at it too narrowly: really, the only thing we have in human history approximating a Singularity is the development of intelligence. Technological advancement brings bounty and it brings problems. Thus, second: the two likeliest candidates for a future Singularity are post-humans, either genetically or cyberneticaly modified (or some combination of the two), *OR* artificial intelligence.
