New Mehdown Slash Command: /rot13
6From Wikipedia:
ROT13 (“rotate by 13 places”, sometimes hyphenated ROT-13) is a simple letter substitution cipher that replaces a letter with the letter 13 letters after it in the alphabet. ROT13 is a special case of the Caesar cipher, developed in ancient Rome.
Because there are 26 letters (2×13) in the basic Latin alphabet, ROT13 is its own inverse; that is, to undo ROT13, the same algorithm is applied, so the same action can be used for encoding and decoding. The algorithm provides virtually no cryptographic security, and is often cited as a canonical example of weak encryption.
ROT13 is used in online forums as a means of hiding spoilers, punchlines, puzzle solutions, and offensive materials from the casual glance. ROT13 has been described as the “Usenet equivalent of a magazine printing the answer to a quiz upside down”. ROT13 has inspired a variety of letter and word games on-line, and is frequently mentioned in newsgroup conversations.

If you look at it long enough, do hi think you can just learn to reverse it in your head?
@RiotDemon dude, spoilers!

Nice, but does it support my favorite form of encryption, double rot-13?

@thismyusername
so if I want to read this, I can just cut and paste:
ok now I’m taking it personally… /me would be so easy to add.
And then either leave it (as I am this time) or delete it (as I may in the future).
There is probably a Chrome extension that does it too.

Let’s test the veracity of this whole ‘26-13=13’ claim…
Whew, it checks out.

@heartny my phone thinks it can dial all of those numbers…
@mehdaf Now, that’s funny.
Translated via http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/binary-to-ascii-text-converter
http://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/hex-to-ascii.htm that conversation went:
[heartny] (binary): When will you be adding a slash command for binary?
(hex): Or maybe a slash command for Hexadecimal would take up less space?
[thisismyusername] (binary): right after they do the /me command
[heartny] (binary): Sounds like a plan to me. Let’s see what Shawn has to say about it.
Can we have hex speak next?
Thanx for adding it @shawn.
To make it really useful, being able to decrypt easily would help quite a bit. If you’re not interested in adding a mouseover with the decrypted text, a link where the link is the decrypted text, or a button to decrypt the text, maybe a link to http://www.decode.org would help. Just add ?q=the+text

I was hoping g this was about the slash and guitars!
Nope, and speaking of slash why doesn’t meh ever undercut guitar centre and sell some nice guitars or stomp boxes.
Darn it, you guys! I have a hard enough time understanding Pig Latin!
