masak writes "The developers of Rakudo, an actively developed implementation of Perl 6, give you their first "Rakudo Star" release. Quoting the announcement: 'These "Star" releases are intended to make Perl 6 more widely available to programmers, grow the Perl 6 codebase, and gain additional end-user feedback about the Perl 6 language and Rakudo's implementation of it.' It's been a long wait, and not everything is in place yet, but Perl 6 is definitely feeling less vapor-y today."

the capability to create a hidden encrypted volume within another encrypted volume, thereby allowing you to grant access to unimportant/dummy data when a password is asked for without the attacker knowing additional information even exists.

Here is a story from a guy who had a similar solution in mind. Apparently the airport people get suspicious if the laptop runs something that they are not used to, like anything non-Windows.

On the other hand, he suggests that they are easily satisfied if you setup your laptop so it boots Windows by default and shows some normal-looking desktop; and that they are stupid enough not to suspect that there might be other operating systems installed if they don't show up in the boot menu.

Maybe it would suffice to setup your boot loader so that it boots Windows unless you press Shift or something like that.
