Weird Phenomenon With Windows XP wordpad! Try it! #1 (permalink) Wed Sep 05, 2007 7:40 am   Weird Phenomenon With Windows XP wordpad! Try it!
 

<Got from other website>

Ok ok, get a load of this. Get a hold of a computer running on Windows Xp and open up the program: Windows wordpad and type in the sentence " Bush hid the facts " without the quotation marks. Now save it on your desktop using any random file name. Close the current window and open the file you have just saved.

WEIRD ISN'T IT???

In most cases it might be a random code of digits, typed boxes or a line of text in Chinese.

Some say that it's an error in the C++ ANSI coding of the system.

Others say that Bill Gates has a secret loathing of the President who has recently come to be deeply despised by many.

Well, try the same process with the sentence " Bill fed the goats". It amazingly yields the same results. However, if you write "Karl fed the goats", it saves normally, so the number of letters in the string of words doesn't have complete influence on the results.

So....whaddaya think!?!? Is there a loophole in Windows programming? Or has Microsoft revealed it's hatred for the American President? Or have other-worldly beings decided to infiltrate our technology and corrupting our software?!?!

Well, programmers have a sense of humor too :)
It is a hint at the fact that Bush didn't hide anything from American people, he's honest !
Nice going, I'd say !!

PS: Incidentally, how did you find it out? Yourself (then I'd say you need to put more trust in Bush :) ), on the internet visiting some site or other?

I just tried the first and I got "摩" and "映" which means "rubbing" and "reflection". What ever that is...

Interesting technically, but I was expecting something funny.

Yesterday when I was at school taking a computer course, one of my friend told me, he might get it from other websites who knows. Is it cool??? :lol:
