Unless the targeting sentance has a lot of "Big 5 letters" in Scrabble, you're very likely to be able to find any arbitry sentence hidden in any articles that are long enough.

Your ELS Skip Sequence makes no logical sense.

DarthVista not making sense? Surely you jest </sarcasm> :P

Yeah exactly.

If one takes any long text, or a set of texts (i.e. the ones on MSDN), one is likely to find that a string will be hidden in there.

Think about it. :s

I hope you enjoyed my little nugget of insurance architecture! :)

In the coming months we will have even more IVC and interoperability related material on MSDN. Keep an eye out on the Financial Services Architecture Center (http://msdn.microsoft.com/FinServArch) and my blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/MikeWalker)

The MSDN Code?!? What's that? Well, it is a search for hidden meanings and phrases within the text of the MSDN library. I'm developing software to search for these phrases as we speak. The process works like this: take a document from the MSDN library and remove all the spaces within the document. Second, scan the text for "skipped letter" phrases--for instance, scan every fifth letter and record them, and then search for patterns of letters within that text. I feel this search has great potential to unlock hidden secrets and meanings buried within our libraries. Here's an example from "Building Interoperable Systems with .NET 3.0 Technologies":

The DarthVista code says: "DarthVista lies always" - I'm sure there is also a mathematical formula for that. Haha! :P

So the Bible Code didn't work so good, neither did The Moby Dick Code or the Da Vinci Code, so now there's an MSDN Code?

Let's place bets if the Windows NT Kernel source is hidden there.
