Here's how to do it:
1. Open up Notepad (not Wordpad, not Word or any other word processor)
2. Type in this sentence exactly (without quotes): "this app can break"
3. Save the file to your hard drive.
4. Close Notepad
5. Open the saved file by double clicking it.

Instead of seeing your sentence, you should see a series of squares.

Kool Ay!!

. Its weird, I thought the website I got it from was just fooling around with me untill I tried it and it worked o_O. Try it if you dont believe me, and why do you guys think it happens?

Old.....Very old.

As old as ms dos

Yea, old, and its not a set of squares really, you just don't have the language installed, so it can't display it correctly, hence the squares. What it really is is some set of japanese(or some other Asian language) characters.

Its old i heard this before but its good to do it again for fun.

Wahoo · 08-12-2006, 12:18 AM

Edit : and it actually works with any 4-3-3-5 combination
Try your mom was blown and see if it works

I'm so sorry guys, I really didnt realise this was old dammit, I should of realised it when I saw it. Mods you can delete this thread if to many people get annoyed about this being so old

.

But anyways if its so old I presume the reason notepad does this has been figured out, what is that reason?

Who needs a reason.

If you can still use notepad, it's not broken.

Jeszus · 08-12-2006, 04:02 AM

well i dident know that but its not going to do me much good

FabianN · 08-12-2006, 05:10 AM

What I find funny is how such a bug could get left on there.
Really poor bug managment.
