Microsoft is pro Bush

[chiadennis]

Try this out.

For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want..
4.) Close it, and re-open it.

is it just a really weird bug? :-??

=rand (200, 99)

And then press ENTER

[chiadennis]

Try 1 more.

No magic, just bug and OS design issue

Windows are written by hundreds of software engineers, and they also do not meet with each other, and the entire code are never on the hand of any single person except the boss himself. Hence. Code to Windows and other MS applications are scattered all over the word, and non can work without the other.

These bug may have been created by the programmer, ie, more like a cheeky action rather then mistake lah.

Not sure which u refering to
but the above are very much genuine bug and not easter egg
the bug on the first post does not work only on "Bush hid the facts"
but also "aaaa aaa aaa aaaaa" (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notepad)

Just that someone wanted to stired up something thus the "Bush".
Im not covering microsoft in anyway, but tracking bug is sortof my job.

Actually if you ask Ah Gate himself.. He won't know either as he's more interested in deciding what to eat for dinner, and what role to play during bed time..

Yes.. These may be bug which coincidently act eerily.. But imagine.. You have programmers from all over the world, and with MS exposure where their OS is use by almost everyone for everything. Who will not want to exploit these code? Some agency may one something inside, maybe to serve as a distress signal. Those who makes peking duck may also want in.. what about those hooded ones? they sure want a piece of the actions, and guessing the amount these programmer makes, I believe it's not difficult to rope them in to spice things up. Therefore.. this explain why even MS can't explain some of these bug,

Yep, theres alot to explore within Microsoft stuff, are you in IT sec too?
But then again, im not too sure if MS can explain the bugs posted above (and the link) or not .. but there're lots of explaination elsewhere anyway.

for the first bug - what do the chinese words mean???

[CKS]

it just garbage.. shouldnt be translated to unicode
Would be scary if the chinese could coincidently have another sound meaning..

Yep.. I'm in IT, and my job is to explain to my customer why their system behave like this thread I'm not joking OK.. What we do is to try to make sense to what may cause the problem, and sometime why and how and what possible means can a user cause a problem and also it's impact. Lot's of things usually happen when a staff leave the company..

As mention.. MS have no idea these bug exist, and we can't really blame them, as since the code is so well protected, and we're talking about a hugh hugh code here.. How is it possible for anyone to debug MS codes? and this also explain why Windows is soooooo "Holy" I guess we can take it that these programmer have configured a throttle hold switch for themself.. But they don't know where to find it after the code have been merge..

Ic ic, im IT security researcher, so job is to make things happen haha

Its actually very possible to debug MS codes, as long as one is trained to read assembly code like english, at least MS provides debugging symbols, so its not that bad after all

Well ya, programming is not easy job too, so cant blame them.

I remembered back in the early 90s u can key in a string of code in Excel or Word, once entered, voila! u got Flight simulator.
