Wow, I was not aware of those.  It also seems you cannot name any folder "nul" (presumably for the same reason).

And the other one -- are those simply un-printable characters "hiding" the facts, or are they supposed to be asian characters that I don't have installed or something?

[SmartBoy16]

i think they are Asian characters. on some computers, they show a few random characters. some people who have reported doing this used other "4-3-3-5" sentences and got the same results. although, i have never gotten that to work

i think theres a page on wikipedia about windows easter eggs.

Edit: here's the answer to that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_hid_the_facts

bush hid the facts doesn't work in windows 7, it did in windows xp though i remember.

EDIT://

This bug does not work in Windows Vista and Windows 7 because IsTextUnicode is fixed and does not show this bug.

That explains why it doesn't work for me. I got a Vista.

I don't get it.

There are only 10 types of people, those that understand ternary...

[SmartBoy16]

you, me, and probably bluemonk

"C#" literally is "C++++"


EDIT:
@Tony: The Onion is a parody newspaper. One of the ads they had says to look at the top of the page.

[Vincent]

He said 3 "types of people" not 3 "persons".

[tprime]

So you're saying ternary is like binary except dealing with 3s. Like 3 is 10 and 1 is 01.

But what did the top corner have to do with C#. I get it, the # is made up of 4 "+" signs.

Plus now that I think about it, more people must understand ternary than binary.
