What is Digg?184 Comments
- cheesy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+261This is really old. And it's not a easter egg, it connects to an external server.
- LiquidPenguin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+260To begin with, this isn't an Easter Egg. Two, it's not specific to Windows XP or any other OS for that matter.
Other than that, this is great! I've got to get IPv6 to see the HD version :D - guttertrash, on 10/12/2007, -2/+151lol. easter egg.
theres an easter egg in xp, open your internet browser, and go to www.digg.com, you can read all the latest stories!!! :P - illyriah, on 10/12/2007, -3/+133They aren't commas; they're called quotation marks. :(
Comma: ,
Exclamation: !
Quotation: "
Single quote: '
Colon: :
Semicolon: ;
Punctuation is your friend. - jwhiteaker, on 10/12/2007, -15/+137Hey I have another great Easter Egg!
1) Go to http://www.azureus.com, and install azureus
2) Go to this link http://torrentspy.com/torrent/745864/Star_Wars_Episode_4_A_New_Hope_DVDRIP_XVID_AC3_DragonRipper624
and download the file.
3) Once Azureus says the file is complete, open the downloaded file.
4) Sit back and watch Star Wars Episode 4! Isn't that an amazing Easter Egg? It works on any Windows computer, try it! - nerditup, on 10/12/2007, -2/+122Where are the commas?
- SirThom, on 11/05/2007, -5/+103"2. Type in or copy "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" without the commas."
NEWS FLASH: Those aren't commas. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+101how do you "open" windows XP?
- ashchristopher, on 10/12/2007, -4/+88Wow... my Linux has an easter egg too! =P
(Please tell me that you can see the sarcasm oozing from my comment). - ninesquaredis81, on 10/12/2007, -0/+77By the way: good news - it's the original - Greedo doesn't shoot first.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+72About those nuclear missiles I told you to launch: Don't, wait 'till I get there.
About those nuclear missiles I told you to launch: Don't wait 'till I get there.
See? Grammatical errors *can* make the world explode ;-) - BlindIrishman, on 10/12/2007, -12/+65But..I thought anything involving the command prompt was an easter egg...
- ginrummy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+53Or will it?
- dblyth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+50Yes, spreading the use of an outdated and insecure protocol is _just_ what we need.
- TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+40"hopefully this will spread the use of telnet"
why? - MSTK, on 10/12/2007, -1/+37...what comma?
- lowbot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34It'll work with any computer that can run telnet. You're making a network connection out the the netherlands and loading a file that is ascii art/animation. Its not an "easter egg" at all.
- Reziarfg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+36"www.digg.com,"
With or without the comma at the end? I can't get it to work for some reason. - bobbybobington, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34I'm surprised inhumancheese didn't put AMAZING or AWESOME in the title.
- dblyth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+32its a DDDoS. The extra D is for Digg.
- Misanthrope, on 10/12/2007, -4/+32"how do you "open" windows xp?"
Maybe he meant open up a VMware session...
maybe? - turgiddahlia, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28Nothing is happening. OMG U BROKE TEH TELNETS!!!1
- Nitro187, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28"SSH, bah. What we really need is more telnet."
You've got it wrong..... what we need, is MORE COWBELL! - TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25hint: it's on the front page of digg
- Reziarfg, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29Grammar is the difference between
I helped my uncle Jack, off a horse.
and
I helped my uncle jack off a horse. - prockcore, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26I'm not normally one to harp about something being old or not.. but jesus, this was made in 1997.
- JKing206, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23JavaScript version:
http://asciimation.co.nz/ - TrueVox, on 10/12/2007, -6/+27In soviet Russia, uncle's horse jacks off YOU!
Bagh, I got nothing. - maxkelley, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23This is not an easter egg.. Sten from blinkenlights runs this telnet animation on his server, towel. So, this is inaccurate.
- Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21Do you have a version for Linux? >:D
- MackPrime, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24ADDICTING
- AnteChronos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19"I helped my uncle Jack, off a horse."
Well, if we're all going to start being Grammar Nazis, I might as well point out that it *should* be:
"I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse."
"Jack" needs to be delimited on either side by commas. - drlha, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Hence "telnet"!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17this is probably served from a P2 which means it's been dugg
- Tochi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16In case you wanted to see it in your browser window:
http://www.asciimation.co.nz/asciimation/index.html - thund3rstruck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16damn, their telnet server is getting hammered! I imagine they're running it on a 486.
- antoniojvr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17When did I enter Fark?
- aximbigfan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13this must be a first for digg. killing a telnet server...
- TNHitokiri, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14too bad duggmirror doesnt cover telnet..
- Fracture98, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14You should really try to spell idiot correctly. It's "you're" as well, by the way.
- neko, on 10/12/2007, -6/+17It says it's for winXP Home Edition. I guess it won't work on Professional.
- baldr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11fun to watch a little, but gets kinda boring fast
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11This has to go to HDDVD, I wonder if it is time-synched.
- dgh1973, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Lol, I think digg just brought down a telnet server in the Netherlands...
- darthfergie, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16really really old...As forever and a half...
Other than that fact, very cool. - afitzgibbon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9funny to watch, but definitely not an easter egg.
- dkarlson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9SSH, bah. What we really need is more telnet.
- ike368, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8@karmakanic:
i really don't know where you're going with this.... - heyitsme23, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8unable to connect to remote host
apparently telnet got the digg effect - CrookedAsterisk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9nickconsumtion,
You might have a bit of trouble formatting C drive, assuming that's what you've booted off. -
