Answer 1

1. EXPLANATION: File names in Windows can be up to 255 characters and can contain spaces, multiple periods, and special characters that are not allowed in MS-DOS file names. Windows makes it possible for other operating systems to access files that have long names by generating an MS-DOS-readable (8.3) name for each file. These MS-DOS-readable names also enable MS-DOS-based and Windows 3.x based applications to recognize and load files that have long file names.

:: The 8.3 format means that files can have between 1 and 8 characters in the file name. The name must start with a letter or a number and can contain any characters except the following:
.*. . " / \ [ ] : ; | = , * ? (space)
.*. An 8.3 file name typically has a file name extension that is from one to three characters long and has the same character restrictions. A period separates the file name from the file name extension.
.*. Several special file names are reserved by the system and cannot be used for files or folders: CON, AUX, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, PRN, NUL


2. EXPLANATION: There are other strings that cause Notepad to screw up, including "this app can break", which was another version of the bug that generated a lot of buzz. I've personally tested a series of strings that have the same effect, including "this api can break", "this cat can split", "jane can not dance", "text wit hou tcaps" and even "abcd efg hij klmno" and "xxxx xxx xxx xxxxx .

So, by induction, all "4-3-3-5" strings should work.

The first is that, after the ASCII-to-hex conversion of the string, Notepad rearranges the hex codes not according to ASCII standards, but to Unicode, and that messes it up. Here's the example:

Take "bush hid the facts". The hex codes (they can be seen with any hex editor you want to download) for the string are:

62 75 73 68 20 68 69 64 20 74 68 65 20 66 61 63 74 73

Arrange the codes to make up Unicode characters and you get:

7562 6873 6820 6964 7420 6568 6620 6163 7473

You'll notice that every code is hyperlinked. If you click on each one of them, you'll see that each one represents a Chinese "letter".

So this whole thing's cause is the coincidence that the 18 ASCII characters happen to represent 9 Unicode characters. And, of course, Windows' inability to determine the right encoding of the file.

And that's about it. No easter eggs, no conspiracies, no Bush interventions. JUST PLAIN OLD MICROSOFT..


3. EXPLANATION: Microsoft Word allows you to quickly insert sample text into a document. To do this, type =rand() in the document where you want the text to appear, and then press ENTER.

The inserted sample text appears similar to the following:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.¶

This feature is turned on by DEFAULT, and is disabled when the Replace text as you type option is turned off.
To turn this option on or off
• click AutoCorrect on the Tools menu
• click AutoCorrect tab
• Replace text as you type check box.

NO MORE MAGIC.. (--,)

Answer 2

This is a quick way to generate some text to test out formatting. Here are some notes about it. 1. The Replace Text As You Type option must be on. (See below for details.) 2. =rand() will get a few lines of standard text. In Word 2007, it will be some Word documentation. In earlier versions, it will be the old typing test “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” 3. To get more than the default amount of text, supply the following two numbers between the parentheses: The number of sentences per paragraph and the number of paragraphs. In other words, =rand(4,5) will produce five paragraphs of four sentences each. 4. To get the old text in Word 2007, use rand.old instead of rand. To set the Replace Text as You Type option: In Word versions prior to Word 2007: 1. Click the Tools->AutoCorrect Options menu item. 2. Click the AutoCorrect tab. 3. Check the Replace Text As You Type checkbox. 4. Click the OK button. In Word 2007: 1. Click the round Office button in the upper-left corner of the window. 2. Click the Word Options button. 3. Click the Proofing task. 4. Click the AutoCorrect Options button. 5. Continue as in Step 2, above. Hope that helps.
