Full Version: Do you know any fun easter eggs?
| QUOTE |
| easter egg <jargon> (From the custom of the Easter Egg hunt observed in the US and many parts of Europe) 1. A message hidden in the object code of a program as a joke, intended to be found by persons disassembling or browsing the code. 2. A message, graphic, sound effect, or other behaviour emitted by a program (or, on an IBM PC, the BIOS ROM) in response to some undocumented set of commands or keystrokes, intended as a joke or to display program credits. One well-known early Easter egg found in a couple of operating systems caused them to respond to the command "make love" with "not war?". Many personal computers, and even satellite control computers, have much more elaborate eggs hidden in ROM, including lists of the developers' names (e.g. Microsoft Windows 3.1x), political exhortations and snatches of music. The Tandy Color Computer 3 (CoCo) had images of the entire development team. Microsoft Excel 97 includes a flight simulator! (http://www.eeggs.com/).

If you also read the comments, you will see it shows up in several places.
The line originally comes from the sci-fi, cold war, classic "The Day The Earth Stood Still.", in which it is the command Mr. Carpenter (the alien) gives to his Robot assistant.
Sam Raimi and George Lucas are both fans of this film.
Army of Darkness! Great movie. 
Do you know of any hidden/bonus songs?
| QUOTE |
| This type of hidden track (before track one) is quite common, and happens on a lot more discs than you realize. It is also quite easy to hide tracks between any two songs on the disc, just rewind from the beginning of the song as you would on track one. I know this because I am a Mastering Technician at a CD manufacturer. The "hidden" tracks at the end of the program aren't really hidden, they are simply un-credited on the track listing. |
I found a few by myself, at the end of discs, when I had left the CDs playing and suddenly heard another song start after a few minutes of silence.
But I didn't know of any before the beginning of a disc or song.

I like the easter eggs, but am not talented enough to find any on my own!
