MAGIC #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

MAGIC #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? ?

MAGIC #3
Microsoft’s 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…….

If I am WOLS, I apologized for it. But nevertheless, I tried all of them and it works for me.

The first and third work for me. The Bush trick doesn’t unless seeing what you typed in originally is the magic. I see nothing different. What are you seeing?

GaMerZ:
Sorry for ask a question here.
I take notice of your antispam with “Type: ihatespam”,and you check this in js file.
Question is:
If i set textarea and submit button “disable” first, and i check “ihatespam” on that input when “onChange” and “onFocus”, if it’s true, i set textarea and submit button “disable=false”.
This method can stop spam or not?
I means: if textaren and submit button all disable,spam can work?

I hope you can understand what i said because my poor english…

can, they can still spam you without physically going to your site to post comment via trackback and that is the reason why I disable trackback as my WP is still on 1.5.2 only, I got no Askimet to protect me.
