Hatchling Cockatrice ...are from Tibus Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I missed a shift-D code. It's dd, and it makes the following text appear: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque id congue metus. Vestibulum sagittis lorem at enim viverra vulputate. Apparently, this is nonsense text long used by the printing & publishing industries, and which ultimately derives from a book on ethics written by Cicero two millenia ago.

Garrulous Glaahk Clocknova Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 You'll find that kind of text used as placeholder in many of Apple's design programs, such as iWeb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody madrigan Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Just for fun, here is Google Translate's Latin-to-English translation: Hello world! is here to cancel meals. Preset congue fear. Product lor but by arrows for Consequat viverra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug othersean Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Google Translate is way off (other than the "Hello world!" easter egg). Wikipedia has the full story, but basically it doesn't mean anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
