Microsoft facts

Recently I came across this forwarded email. Probably many of you have not heard about tis. I searched on the net n asked around bout tis so called 'magic'. I posted the findings as comments.Take a look...

Email Part 1:

An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the
Computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty
Cool...and Unbelievable.... At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this
happened!
TRY IT NOW ,IT WILL NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER

Comments: Not only 'con' but 'NUL', 'lpt1', 'com1','com2'...blablabla.....wouldnt work as well in any of the windows operating system. I heard it from a couple of frens. This is simply bcoz these variables are reserved system names. IT is not true that the Microsoft Team couldnt answer to this. They knew this stuff!!!

Email Part 2:

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? :-??

Comments from Wikipedia: Bush hid the facts is the common name for a bug found in the Microsoft Windows XP version of Notepad. It is sometimes referred to as an Easter egg but is not an intentional addition to the program. While "Bush hid the facts" is the sentence most forwarding around the Internet the bug does not exclusively occur with that phrase. The bug will manifest itself with many sentences of a particular structure: One word with 4 letters, two or more words with 3 letters, one word with 5 letters. Except for the starting character all the letters must be lower case. The bug appears when such a string is entered into Notepad (with no other characters) and then saved as a text file. Upon reloading the file into Notepad the text will be replaced with nine Chinese characters (or squares if the language pack has not been installed).

Email Part3:

Microsoft crazy facts

This is something pretty cool and neat...and unbelievable...

At
Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!
It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself...


Open Microsoft Word and type

=rand (200, 99)

And then press ENTER

Then see the magic


Comments from Forum: It's a test feature. It's been in Word for a long time. You can vary the numbers to get a different number of results. The first number is the amount of lines, and the second the amount of times the sentence is printed per line.

The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is a sentence that contains all 26 letters of the roman alphabet. As such, it's a convenient test phrase when testing things like fonts and markup. Again it is not true that Microsoft Team couldnt answer to this!!!


Amazing???Feel free to share your knowledge on this.

Boredness is killin me.

My day starts around 11-12pm. Without cleanin myself, sit infront my Compaq Presario M2000, check emails, friendster, and slowly start browsin net till aprrox 3pm. Somehow, I gotta push myself to brush teeth n have my shower. Probably by this time, I will be damm hungry n so gotta drag maself 2 d kitchen n cook something....most of the time is just IndoMee, noodles, bread or pasta cz that d simplest n fastest thing I could cook.

After fillin my stomach, continue with my surfin or watch some movie continously up to 10 pm. At times, I might take a short nap for 2 hours around 5pm plus. Approx around 11pm plus, my stomach will start makin some weird noise....gotta feed tat fellow. Then continue doing nothin till I fall asleep till 2 am.

The next day...I will be goin tru all over again n again. This is wat I've been goin tru for past 1 month. Boredness is killing me. BORING BORING BORING!!! I really cant stand this shyt...gotta find a temporary job...but yet freakin lazy. Been sending some words to my fren to help me intro me to some temporary job. I wonder when my day gonna change. When??? I also need to find a permanent job. Will I manage to find any ere? Or gotta pack my stuff back home n find ther? I dont wanna work in Malaysia...wanna work ere...ere...ere....

At the same time, I feel like goin home...wanna spend time with my family n love 1. Wanna hangout with frens n waste time n money in dota-ing. Sit in mamak...talk cock n bullshyt stories...drink Milo Ice Kaw Kaw...with nasi lemak+ telur mata kerbau+ayam goreng. I wanna eat my mom's cook....ayam sambal, Sothe Curry, Lamb Curry....too much to mention ere. Damm I miss all this stuff. Wondering when I can go home...

All I can do now is to wish my application will be approved soon so I can go home. I need to work hard to find some job. Hopefully tommorow, my day is not like wat I been going tru for the past 1 month. Wishing maself all the best for tommorow and all the upcomin days.

Dedicated to Thevan.

Since this is the 1st blog in blogspot.com, I would like to start with a story that Thevan (Fren who introed me to this) should follow to proceed with his life. I got this forwarded email from a fren of mine which I think pretty suitable for Thevan. It goes:

A soldier stationed in Afghanistan recently received a letter from his girl friend back home. It read as follows:

Dear Ricky,
I can no longer continue our relationship. The distance between us is
just too great. I'm sorry. Please return the picture of me that I sent to you.

Love, Becky

The soldier, with hurt feelings, asked his fellow soldiers for any
snapshots they could spare of their girlfriends, sisters or ex-girlfriends.

In addition to the picture of Becky, Ricky included all the other pictures of the pretty gals he had collected from his buddies. There were 57 photos in that envelope along with this note:

Dear Becky,
I'm so sorry, but I can't quite remember who the hell you are.
Please take your picture from the pile, and send the rest back to me.

Take Care,
Ricky

Moral of the story:

If you can't change your fate, change your attitude...
