    What is the use of these secret actions?On first sight most of them don't seem to be very usefull.

    No offense.
    This topic with these secrest seems interesting watching the topic title.
    Reading the secret codes and watching what they do give the impression that these secret codes and their functions and actions are not very usefull.


    This topic is informative for XP users , and in my opinion is very usefull . "What is the use of these secret actions?" if you read carefully you will find .Just take your time and read carefully .

    Here is some good example :Hidden Install Creator , Hidden Text Editor , Hidden Windows Chat Program.

    So i think is very informative.

    Have a nice day.

    So , what can i say , I haven't got a chance to compare but it should be more or less the same ( HTC or Blackberry) .But if you want a real mobile phone i suggest you to choice between Sony Ericsson or Nokia , is all about what are you looking for when you choice a mobile phone , application , software , Symbian , Android , QWERTY keyboard , touch display ....and much more.Don´t rush to store and buy when the phone come up , just wait 2-3 weeks read some rewiev and then go for it.Just my opinion.

    May I add that you have chosen a rather aggressive username?

    This username have a long story ,but to be short ,if you know "Cain & Abel password recovery tool" ,with this tool you can use brute force to find out passwords and username.When i was young and start my journey on internet i use this tool several times .But now i´m to old and take it slow..... :)


    And here i´m iBruteforce .............. :D

    Here are 3 weird facts about Windows:1. Nobody can create a folder named
    \"Con\".

    Try to create anywhere on your hard disk
    a folder called \"Con\" (without the
    quotes). Go to a location on your hard
    disk, right click, choose \"New\" and then
    select \"Folder\" from the menu that
    appears. Name the folder \"Con\" (without
    quotes) and hit Enter. You?ll see that
    the folder won?t be named \"Con\". It will
    be \"New folder\"

    2. A text file made with Notepad, with
    the following content : \"Bush hid the
    facts\" (without quotes) won?t display
    the actual text.

    Go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories
    -> Notepad . Write in Notepad the
    following text : \"Bush hid the facts\"
    (without quotes) then Save the file and
    exit Notepad. Now go to the text file
    you created and open it. You?ll see that
    the text you just wrote and save won?t
    show.


    3. Write in Word this : \"=rand(200,99)\"
    (without the quotes) and witness the
    magic.

    Open Microsoft Word and on the first
    line write : \"=rand(200,99)\" (without
    the quotes) and hit Enter key. See the
    magic.


    Notice from rvalkass:
    Anything copied must be quoted.
