True, but a bug still existing over 25 years later is shockingly bad.


I say by accident/poor design.

Hahaha, I remember this vulnerability, it was used for example in LAN parties like Dreamhack more than a decade ago!
Look at those beautiful monitors!

Aw man, I just shed a few tears watching this.

Kind of sad to think most of this hardware is now probably sitting at the bottom of a landfill, or an e-waste site in some 3rd-world country, or maybe even recycled already. A lot of this hardware could still be working today if it was around (save for bad caps, which were everywhere back then).

I just bought a Ti4400 the other day on eBay. Felt like holding a little piece of history when I was testing it today.
Oh, the fun days of early "3D" games, CRTs, and tiny-whiny noisy 5000 RPM fans.

Well, can you blame them? It seems to work every time.
That said, I think even the average Jane and Joe have started to notice that something is not right anymore with the latest Windows OSes. Maybe Windows 10 will be the final nail in the MS OS coffin.

I just had to test it, first password I tried could not be cracked in 30 seconds so I selected a much easier one and look what we get.
Soooo fantastic!
