Maleeq: No biggie. Its a known tradition that programmers/developers add "Easter Eggs" to applications.

These are hidden features that don't necessarily add features to the application. But they are kinda cool. Google it out, do you know there are hidden car racing games in lower versions of excel??


There are several reserved keywords in Windows. The restriction isn't a mistake/magic that, as you claim, even Microsoft cant explain. Ofcourse they put it there to avoid conflict. The CON is a DOS reserved keyword that was brought forward into Windows. CON is used to specify the device file used to capture whatever was printed onscreen.


And oh yes, you can create the folder. You have to specify the UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path though. Try it:
Open the Command prompt by clicking Start -> Run and typing cmd
Enter: C:\> md \\.\c:\con and press the ENTER key.
Now, Open My Computer and browse through the path where you created CON folder... Surprising.. ?? Yeah.. you have created it successfully

Now, try to delete the folder from My computer. OOPS!!! You cant delete it...

Now, try this in command prompt console

C:\> rd \\.\c:\con

Yeah!! You did it...

Another hoax. They put it there to create "Filler texts" in a document. Not just the numbers (200, 99), try any combination.
Typing =rand(X,Y) (with numbers for X and Y) results in X paragraphs of Y repetitions of the sentence.
For example, =rand(10,10) will produce ten paragraphs, each with ten repetitions. Microsoft has officially described this as a feature and not an Easter egg.
While you are at it, try =rand() and see the "magic"


Wingdings font is all about symbols (characters to symbols), it was developed by Microsoft in 1990 and since then it has been a part of every text editor by Microsoft. Its no magic or hoax, but an amazing coincidence.
The magic is valid, but the flight number is a lie, those are not the flight numbers of the one that hit Twin Towers. The flight numbers were United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines flight 11. These, if shortened, would be UA175 and AA11. Q33N is just an interesting coincidence in notepad.

Neeeeeeeext!

BOBZ. I bow o!

But men, you be hacker?

tjskii: Forkadict keitaz snitchin is part of his game strategy

That one na lie. That is how the guy is in real life. A two faced murraforker!

Demdem: I was in Uniport live and i asked one of the students within the faculty to assist in achieving this while i stayed nearby. never wanted to expose myself anyway. he was asked some questions which i wouldnt want to divulge but the bottom line was he came back empty handed. i was just being curious u know. Having the retardeen's so-called thesis probably may shed more light to his dumbness and stupidity.

Na since the presidential debate saga when he dey find expo i don search internet for him thesis. My brother, i search tire i no see nottin.

But copies should be available in the school library if his contribution to knowledge is worth anything.

But men, i sure say no be the guy write that thesis

^^^^^ Forget dat tin. Prezzo can never win. i am far more worried that Keita will win than i am for Prezzo.

Seydou fine pass keita wella. Lee sef fine pass am. malonza sef fine pass am. all the dude has goinf for him is his height and THAT IS ALL.

honeric01: Please just answer this: Of what benefit is oil to us if it can't be subsidized for the citizens? being a Nigerian, what benefit do we get from owning or having oil?

No mind the bagger ogb5. I guess his full name is ogbologbo OLE. You no see say i no answer am. I have learnt that you dont respond to evryone on nairaland. Maybe his father operates in the downstream oil sector.

^^^ Your reasons for disliking keita might be foundeed. However many viewers dislike him because of his snitching. He runs to narrate to Prezzo and Roki all that transpires between him & maneta majorly plus other petty gists and reciprocates same to the ladies. Now with maneta and barbz out of the way, he's got reduced snitching tendencies if you catch my drift...

BTW, how could you have expected keita to come from DV and call Prezzo to order in UV given his conduct while at DV? keita was on the quite side while at DV. i can't recall him having an open confrontation thruout his stay in DV. How then do you expect such a person to come to UV and face up to the President? The guy everyone expected to do that was keegan and clearly he has not done that. maybe because he doesnt have a strong enough reason to just yet. But still, fingers crossed.

uzomagic: The subsidy regime was unsustainable due to corruption and had to be dispensed with. That's simple enough. You don't need to know the dynamics to know that it will be more beneficial to the citizenry for Govt to subsidise production by investing in the productive sectors

For God's sake there is a sequenst of events whenever you want to do anything. We all know that in time, we will have to abndon the subsidy but before then, make sure you are left with no choice. Not the way things are right now. we still have choices. many choices. First recover looted funds, plough them back into the treasury, eliminate waste in the system, increase power generation so that there will be less dependence on petrol, increased wealth generation so that a larger percentage of the populace will thenbe more empowered to afford the increase in pump price,etc and when it becomes obvious for all to see that we can no longer sustain the subsidy then you remove it and that is the last item on the to do list.

Naijagunner83: Ur username is "fork addict". I know what u mean. Go do it to urself.

No problem. i will go do it to myself but I'll also make sure you drink every drop of my cummmm. You Asssssswipe!

Men.I watched DV housemates play a game of 'Never ever have i ever...' and Jannette (the mosquito)made my jaw drop all thru the show with her crazy sex.ual confessions. I hope she makes it to UV too when the time comes.

Keita's rising acceptance by the viewing public is still getting me worried for the following reasons:
1. Since Naija has won the show for the past 3 straight seasons. Since there is no more worthy nigerian left in the show to be crowned winners, the kingmakers will want to try their best possible to retain the crown in West africa at least if they cant retain the crown in naija. This automatically bequeaths the crown on Keita.
2. Keegan, one of the few contestants capable of stopping him has been in sleep mode ever since his entry into UV and i wonder when he will be activated if he ever will. I think again and ask myself, 'Will keegan really be able to stop Keita?' This question is prompted by the result of the votes that got him and Junia to UV. A potential winner would have emerged from the polls with a clear victory. Sharing votes with a contestant such as junia leaves much doubt as to his winning capabilities.
3. Keita's major distraction (Maneta) and cause of viewers dislike of his conduct in the house is out of the game. With this development, he can focus more on the game and will irritate the viewers much less.
4. His looks. Even tho, i disagree that he is goodlooking cos of his flabby physique, slight pot belly and his 'just there' face IMO. A substantial portion of the viewers are of the opinion that he can compete favourably with the world's sexiest man. Major known culprit here if tjskii.

At this juncture, i call on well meaning Big Brother Generals that it is time for WAR. @ safarigirl and other posters, we need to start an awareness campaign on why Keita should not win the moola. Maybe, we can sway some viewers and voters like tjskii to our side. $300,000 is a whole lot of money to give away to someone just because of his height.

Billyonaire: Why waste your breathe by responding to him ? You could see he understands nothing about subsidy and his brain has been overcrowded by conspiracies and lies. I can assure you, if he is enlightened to understand the basic dynamics of the Oil sector he will hide his head in shame.

OK. i understand nothing about subsidy and the basic dynamics of the oil sector right?I dont blame you. You only saw a post by Fork Addict the great and all you did without bothering to understand the content of my post was to ruch to the nearest cybercafe to you and post crap. Let me not derail this thread. By bringing up the subject of subsidy again. but in very simple terms, my point in the post you foolishly attacked was that funds, such as this and lots more that are 'lost' (I will rather say, wickedly embezzeled) in the oil sector majorly thru corruption, if recovered and ploughed to the nation's treasury, would still have sustained the subsidy regime for many years to come and there would not have been any need to increase the pump price of fuel at the time the id.iotic and clueless jona did. Simple.

Naijagunner83: This line of reasoning is novel for its foolishness. I'm mildly saddened by the crass subversion of logic and reason to your brazen lack of sense. The fight against corruption is ongoing and this is a direct fall-out of that fight. The Petroleum sector as you oddly pointed out has been riddled with corruption and if it must be deregulated, it must be sanitised. This is a bold step in the right direction and it has been hailed by many right thinking Nigerians.

God go join you with BEEF, punish una two together.
So for your mind GEJ dey fight corruption? Joker! The same GEJ that instructed the attorney general to frustrate Ibori's trial? It took a foreign country to get him behind bars. Now you come on here to tell us GEJ is fighting corruption? I no sure say you go school at all. ID.IOT

Delafruita: whydo you always assume people reading your posts are not knowledgeable?we know how much obasanjo was paying on subsidy yearly,we even know how much was paid in 2010 which was 557billion.how did it jump to almost 3 trillion in 2011?we know how many companies imported fuel under obasanjo i.e. 6.yar'adua didnt increase it.within 4 months under GEJ,they rose to 128.and you are here saying bladderdash.we are not ignorant of your tactics o

I wonder if the likes of BEEF and other PRO GEJ actually have a conscience. I doubt if they actually ask themselves if were are better of as a nation under GEJ. The idi,ots can not even mention just one achievement naija has recorded since the dum.b one assumed office. All they do is attack and counter attack anti GEJ posters who ask them questions about their fooooolish idol and hero's achievements.

ifihearam: This country sha
They still billions like its millions
Na wa oo

Nope. They steal billions like a few hundreds of naira. sometimes i wonder if those guys that report those figures know what a billion naira is. to worsen issues, the Shell MD today said that naija loses about N800B annually thru oil theft. Are you forking kidding me? about N800,000,000,000:00 lost annually? yet we are worse of than citizens of some countries whose annual budget is just about or a little above this figure? No power, no roads, no security of lives and property, education zero, health zero, corruption is just a NORMAL way of life?

God! naija makes me sick!

Beaf: You are funny. The subsidy racket has been going on since Abacha's time, when the good General built a private refinery in Ivory Coast with FG money and burst NNPC, so he and his cronies were the only ones importing fuel.

I bet our know alls in 9ja couldn't speak at the time, cos it would simply have attracted a bullet from Sgt. Rogers. Abacha wasn't a man of many words.
However, these days, it is fashionable for clever people to blame the man that has opened their eyes to the way the citizen was being phucked. 9ja is a weird and wonderful place indeed! You help a man, only for him and his family to spit on you and call you a fool; as GEJ said, "ITS A BIG BUSINESS."

Na God go punish you dis boy!

If you have been blind since the day you were born does not make others blind too. I for one, and many other posters here told your stoooooooopid, idio.tic, confused and cluelessssss boss that increasing the pump price of fuel was not the way forward. That he should fight corruption in the oil sector. You were one of the people who claimed that the best way to deal with corruption in the oil sector was to increase the pump price of petrol. now if i ask you, wasn't the increase just meant to inflict unnecessary hardship on hapless nigerians?


Your i.diotic boss emptied the treasury just to fund the 2011 presidential elections.That is why you and many other nigerians are so scared of naija having an honest man as our presido cos you know what will happen to your likes. No wahala. 2015 is around the corner. By God's grace corrupt and asssslicking low lifes and parasites like you who survive on this country thru corruption will have to pack and relocate to Benin republic. Cos we will make you guys vomit every single naira you have stolen.

livapul86: The level of hypocrisy and blatant lie on this thread is nauseating. Even for the fact that this is an Anonymous forum, people still can't be honest with themselves. What is the essence of the anonymity if you can't write freely and sincerely? Everyone is claiming not to give or accept money, all the ladies are all independent working class ladies, while most of the guys are suave, Mode men and GQ-ish guys that haven't done such and relate exclusively with top independent ladies? Oh well, clap for yourselves.
@Op: When i was at the university, na 1k i dey give o! But now, I can't give you the current Rates because since I graduated, I have been goin Solo.

In fact dude, nauseating is a gross understatement. They all think they are talking to their younger ones. Little did they know that some of us are old enough to be their fathers. For Naija? You go fork chic, you no go give am tfare? Mtscheeeew!

stepo707: How much should girls get ke? or i my eyes deceiving me? Na wao. She gets nothing men.After eating and getting all the juice outa my system,i still give her money,for what now? Except she is a student and that is understandable.

What if she aint a student but she is unemployed?

Joe Batters: "You don't pay a hoe to stay, you pay her to leave"....as for "my babe" if she is a student, i may consider, but if she is working she should be considerate.

Absolutely love your choice of words.

Shinatu: Na wa o for this generation, I have been reading through the thread, and I have been realy bothered, that a parent will give birth to a female child, nurse and nurture her, feed, clothe and go through the mental,emotional, physical and financial drain of bringing a child up in this time of ours only for one boy/man who has not asked for her hand in marrigae to be sleeping with her at weekends and think he has the right to.

The fact that she also is putting herself in that situation and calling it 'love' shows how much the reasoning capacity/pattern of our youth has been tampered with.

God help parents!

You will be much more bothered if you know how those guys fork those chics. I sometimes wish those chics' parents have the opportunity to see how those guys fork their beloved daughters. How they suspend their legs in the air and twist them here and there. And the guys are not their husbands o. I swear na heart attack go just kill some of those parents.

Theblessed: [size=16pt]Excuse me, what are we talking about here?

Are we talking about prostitution or dating

In fact, it seems to me that Africans still don't understand what 'dating' actually, means. It is not trade by barter, ok!

Giving someone money because, they slept over at yours the weekend - prostitute, eh And, when you go over at hers on a weekend - would she pay

You see, there's nothing wrong on someone lavishing on their girl/boy friends on occasions e.g. Christmas/Easter presents, birthdays, Job promotions, Outings etc and not because they came over for a leg-over at the weekend.huh!

That's prostitution in disguise and you're calling it dating. But after your weekend, which other guys weekend will she be attendng,huh!

Good luck, Mr Punter and keep paying the fanny bills after a leg-over![/size]

Thank you o. help me tell them o. Sadly enough, the opposite of what you posted is the standard in naija. Gos help us in this country. Nothing seems to function, no infrastructure, rising crime and violent attacks, rising cost of living and also rising cost of forking. Na wa o!

thegoodjoehunt:
No one has the precise solution but there is a first step to take. It is the same like the case of the so called CABALS.

If the president have the names of the sponsors of BOKO HARAM, he should make them public. Then we find a way to get them to face the wrath of the law.

Just the same as he says there are CABALS, milking this country dry. Make their names public. If he conducted a probe, make it public. Is that difficult?

Apparently, the guy is scared of the public. SMFH

afam4eva: So many nations have gone to war for expereiencing one quarter of what Nigeria is going experiencing. Then one begins to wonder when Nigerian will say enough is enough. We've had enough of this BS. When are we going to fight back and decide whether we want to remain togethere or go apart. This is BOMBS we're talking about. We're now competing with Iraq and Afghanistan that we used to see as satan's backyard.

God bless you dude. Presido dey siddon look, he no gree do notin. Citizens sef dey siddon look, dem no wan do notin. God, save Naija o!

twinstaiye: Put yourself in his position, now, just give one solution from far away that you think he can do to quash Boko Haram. Now, you will tell me it is his job. The truth is, noone would be a President of a country and wants to fail.

Many people here on NL have proferred many suggestions on how we can fight Boko to a standstill. You are the one that needs the info, search for such threads or posts.

But what the fork do you think is the function of intelligence agencies in countries? The only forking role your SSS is known for in naija is to act as bodyguards to your president on official functions. and that one sef, e no sure. Cos if dem see better bullet and gunfire, the way dem go take disapper no go get part 2.

See guy, I love naija. But what can i do when we can not even get very simple things right both as leaders and as citizens? No power, no good roads, no electicity, no security, Health? education? Our sentimental, tribalistic citizenry that can never learn to vote wisely during elections? Blatant corruption everywhere?

safarigirl: But this biggie dey take style cheat o. This new rule of 2 people going upville is totally unfair to the likes of Luke and Hilda, downvillers who could have gone up if this was in place at their time, it's daylight robbery! Who could've guessed drunken Wati would ever see the door of UV? The original upvillers will now be at a disadvantage cos downville will take over and form an alliance against em. Stargame sucks big time. Biggie shuda just done a wildcard and asked viewers to vote in either Chris or Seydou, now he's filling up all the empty space with wack peeps just so there'll actually be contestants for the finals. Mtcheww, that kain wowo ganja man go come invade my space, like Prezzo isn't ugly enough.

Are you just waking up to the fact that Biggie is a cheat? He has always been. It's all about marketing tho. He manipulates evictions or results or the rules surrounding them the best way he can to make the highest pay.

twinstaiye: I "Like" your post. However, to the bolden above. Those are two different things. As Vice President, he had declared his assets PUBLICLY, because the President ask him to because the President believed in declaring publicly and that is his own principle, but, as the substantive President, as a matter of principle, he doesnt believe in declaring assets PUBLICLY. The law allows him to declare his assets to Code of Conduct Bureau, which he had done, any newspaper or individual can go and cross check especially when the Free Information law is in place now. Mr President didnt erred in saying so. And as to saying, he doesnt give a "damn", that is talking tough, meanwhile, I thot his adversaries said he is "mumu", "Clueless", now he is talking tough, they are castigating him again.

Let him talk tough to Boko. Are you not ashamed of yourself? Saying your Presido is talking tough when asked to demonstrate his commitment to the war against corruption.

Boko dey there o, he no follow them talk tough. Mtschweeew!!!!!

omosexy1: PS: In the case of Boko Haram, history should be our teacher. It took the British Government more than a decade to squash the IRA terrorists and the US a decade to finally get the crème de la crème of terrorism.

So we should wait a decade before we see an end to Boko. That is assuming we ever will see an end to them. It's ok. I hope you and your family do not get blown to bits in the meantime. Like you are better than those who have fallen casualties. Mtscheeew!!!!

tjskii: Prezzo the actor,
Ystdy he decided to show bb d picture of his daughter(d girl looks so much lik prezzo, *in manetaz voice* its not even funny)he did dis cos he feels he has a bond wth bigbrother and bb kips him going bla bla bla


Now to downville,wati d drunken master,get serios issues o,he got high again ystday,poured dirty water into janettez chiken,and had to be cald in to d diary room,wen he was done,d housmtes carid him to bed,hopin he wud sleep it off but for wia,I laffed my buttt off at his antics,dt boy is most def goin upville hehehe

How many DV housemates has biggie provided for to go to UV? if it's just one, what makes you so sure he is going to be the one?

[quote author=sigmundfreud][/quote]Its that thing called bias...when u like sumtin or someone, u look @ their positive side.(and dont start taking me up on objectivity!)
Glad u watched the video again...av watched it so many times that i can actually play, pause and rewind the frame in my mind. So this is d breakdown
1. DKB approached Zainab chatting with lady may...angry and told her not to try that again.
2. She left her seat to meet him when he said he will slap her if she repeats it
3.Zainab then 'chested' DKB..tht was the first contact...she was pushing back with her chest....the rest happened very fast
4. Then DKB pushed her back with his both hands to which Zainab ?reflexly slapped him with her left hand as she was going back and DKB replied instantly!
Zainab...was the first aggressor!

Ok. Now you admit you were biased in evalutaing keita's entertainment worth.
You said Zainab was the first agressor. LOL. During Prezzo's and DKB's face off, Prezzo touched DKB anumber of times with his hands. Why didn't that qualify as an act of agression? I don't know how on earth an act can be counted as agression with your hands and legs all down? With no form of impact involved? I will be glad if you can explain.
You sound Ghanian by the way or are you not?

Aza Montana: Being given money after you visit your so called lover is insulting to a woman like me. You can never put a price to on my love. I give you love for free because my love is not worth a dime. If you wana pay someone for visiting you , please go to a prostitute and if you think i am stupid for nt asking you for money then you are more pathetic.

Abegiiii go siddon for one corner jor!

sigmundfreud: @forkadict....watch the video again, put it in slow mo, toook time before i was convinced too but ZAINAB SLAPPED DKB 1st and sneered saying 'i slapped ur ass first'.

Just watched the video again. But guy, you are fond of viewing issues partially. Case in point number one you said about keita '...... Kaita is a cool dude minus his snitching.' and i suggested we should consider his total package which means we will consider keita plus his snitching abilities altogether.

Case in point number two. The video in question. You said zainab slapped DKB first. Now that may be true. However we need to again consider the holistic view. DKB was the first agressor. He actually thumped her in the chest first. Now that was similar to what Hannington of BB all stars did to Lerato before being disqualified. He touched her first. Comm'on man you can't go to a court of law showing that clip and hope to prove to a sensible judge that Zainab slapped DKB first. Cos when you say Zainab slapped DKB first, a neutral observer or bystander will have the notion that Zainab was the first agressor which is clearly not the case. The question is who attacked who first? answer that mon ami.

tjskii: ^^ I swear I dey biff d babe die

But you sef, you no try at all. You really need to up your standard chico ****Speaking in Prezzo's voice*****

safarigirl: Keitta dances like a sixty year old having a seizure, when he's not waving his hand like he's got no bones in em.

LMFAO! Kai! this girl don kolo i swear!

sigmundfreud: Keegan na sedative...hez been boring since he got to upville, perhaps the 'star like persona' is affecting him
2)I like Tamara and Talia...and share ur belief that Tamara will rock UV but am voting Talia and so will a lot of others.
So its Wati and Talia to UV
@forkadict....some people are just content with taking things @ face value...Keitta face or Talia's might just win them the money and i dont think a guy that refuse to sleep with a chick throwing herslf @ him is a SissY! Dont think Mildred runs the relationship, just think i will expect her to behave herself if she is the one still in the game
@safarigirl..when a guy does that (sleep with a free chick) hez a Gee, when its a girl, shez a slut. Society double standard. Dont understand why a female will beef a guy for that
@forkadict....watch the video again, put it in slow mo, toook time before i was convinced too but ZAINAB SLAPPED DKB 1st and sneered saying 'i slapped ur ass first'.
Goldie, Goldie, Goldie....waste of space, let me not waste our time.
Enjoy!

I agree with you absolutely on Keegan. That is why he is the subject of my number one prayer point. I need him to wake the fork up!

I expect Talia to make it to UV again based on looks cos tamara is more capable of bringing drama to the house. Now, this is what i have been campaigning against from time immemorial on any BB thread. You agree Tamara is more entertaining but you are voting talia for UV. Why so? It's your money tho and you reserve the right to spend it as you deem fit voting for anyone you desire even Goldie.

In case Keegan chooses to sleep in UV until he is evicted, then I root for Lady May to win. But most def not Keita or some other pretty boy or chic. I dont roll like that. We are talking about $300K here. It must go to the most deserving housemate on the show.

Regarding Keita and Mildred. there are more mature ways Keita would have handled Maneta's advances. The way he keeps screaming Mildred this, Mildred that is enough to convince anyone that Mildred calls the shot in their relationship. It's like her fear is deeply rooted in his mind. If he was going to reject Maneta's advances, then he could have done so based on moral principles and i might have forgiven him. But the way he kept on screaming Mildred's name at every opportunity was just disgusting. Besides, i would have been cool with him just flirting with Maneta and not necessarily forking her. But if he can do that as well, then from me, its thumbs up. For these reasons, i insist that a guy that behaves like a chic particularly where he consistently fails to demonstrate independence of will from that of his partner's is as far as I'm concerned, a cissy.

As for DKB and Zainab's case, I will take my time to search for the orijo clip. E be like say na pirated copy you see. As soon as i get it, I'll post the link. Or better still, can you post the link you have of the video hwre Zainab slapped DKB first?
