I think many of you guys know this but what the heck...(Wind

[VanHalen]

Go to start on your taskbar and type in "telnet"

At the screen type "o" and press enter. Next type "towel.blinkenlights.nl" and you will be treated to an ASCII version of Star Wars ep IV.

make sure not to type the quotation marks ;o

and its hilarious when the characters are shocked.

I could have sworn peopl exploited that, to where some people could ping into your system.

I guess it was disproven though.
Typed in the towel thing, nothing happened.

[Randomness]

Ah. I knew it existed, didn't know how to access it.

Really? I never heard of that.

Are you sure you typed it correctly? I just typed in everything I just put and it worked.

Time to get a mac like Oran, get away from the microbling ghost boxes. Buy the bling over regular price white boxes.

[Sord]

works for me

[Sgt_Shligger]

That's because this isn't an Easter Egg. Someone made this. Telnet is the DOS version of the internet. Google MUDs and try some of those. They use Telnet.

Also, for those that have trouble, you need to open a command prompt and type in telnet there.

It's restricted in Vista. Yay Vista.

[Shadowpawn]

Unblocked telnet, thanks google. I see it nou.

[Blitzkommando]

loltelnet... Yeah. It's a remote access utility. Meaning it works both ways which is why it was disabled by default in Vista as it was a security risk. It's a neat thing for sure to see someone spent that much time doing something so useless but it gets boring very quickly. Anyway, just keep in mind that the Telnet service is very old and can be used to compromise system security.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Saw a few vids of this on youtubes and there were people (talking in complete sentences http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif) saying not to do this, as someone, in this case the poster of the vid, could hack your computer.

[Out_Kast]

Weird. I never knew about that one before.
It's not the whole film, is it?
