Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Bill gates had a nick name in his youth " con" (CONsole-DOS)

now he want to be sure that no one will call him like that  ;D
he completely banned this word from Microsoft
you can try this on your computer
open a new folder and try to give "con" as a name of this folder

he also had those nick names as well ( they also banned )
LPT1, LPT2, NUL, COM1, COM2...

lol , i tried doing con,

and it just comes up as "new folder"

lol

Haha. The world's richest is a frightened little boy.

haha what the fuck.. that's weird

No, those are all port names except for NUL which ends a character string in C. Going around naming your files with those designations would get confusing pretty quickly, at least for your computer.

that's just a myth...

Reality - "Several special file names are reserved by the system and cannot be used for files or folders: CON, AUX, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, PRN, NUL. This goes back to DOS 1.0 which didn't support subdirectories, lowercase, or filenames longer than 8.3. 'CON' is a reserved word from the old DOS days, simply meaning 'console'. If you wanted to create a new text file in DOS you could type 'copy con newfile.txt' meaning copy from the console to newfile.txt. This would let you type some lines and when you ended the file you would have a file called newfile.txt containing whatever you wrote in the console. Since they are still relied on with things like batch files (redirect to >NUL) they are still reserved today."

He invented Windows yet his last name is Gates  :o
 :hihi:
sorry I suck at jokes  :(
