Bug Or ..........?

Hi All,
Real fun...
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.
AND SEE WHAT COMES..........
Is it just a really weird bug OR ..............................???? the typical American response????????????
Thanks
Bala

wow .. all squares how does this work ..Letme know technical aspects of it ..bala its cool :wink:

Hi Rupa,
You tried it out?
What did you enter? You would have typed - Bush hid the facts.
Right? What could this possibly mean?
Bush means the US President - George Bush?
Did he hide any facts? Yes, the American public themselves say that their President lied about Iraq war?
Is this a created 'bug' by microsoft ?
Or is it a 'real' bug?
Who knows????????????
Thanks
Bala

But it works only for the first time, when u open the same file and add the same words again and save it then it does not work :shock:
Can't just make out what it is :?

Notepad Phrases

Myth - "There are Secret phrases like "bush hid the facts" you can type into Notepad"

Reality - "Notepad makes a best guess of which encoding to use when confronted with certain short strings of characters that lack special prefixes. The encodings that do not have special prefixes and which are still supported by Notepad are the traditional ANSI encoding (i.e., "plain ASCII") and the Unicode (little-endian) encoding with no BOM. When faced with a file that lacks a special prefix, Notepad is forced to guess which of those two encodings the file actually uses. The function that does this work is IsTextUnicode, which studies a chunk of bytes and does some statistical analysis to come up with a guess. Sometimes it guesses wrong and displays random characters after you save and open the file. Any combination of characters in the same order will cause the same problem: "this app can break", "hhhh hhh hhh hhhhh", "this isa bug dummy" ect..."
