GPT funny thing...

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

GPT funny thing...

Post by AlfaOmega08 »

Reading about BIOS Boot Partition for GPT, as pointed out by turdus, I discovered that the GUID for this kind of partition is 21686148-6449-6E6F-744E-656564454649.

Which translates to "Hah!IdontNeedEFI".
Who's the genius who thought this?
Please, correct my English...
Motherboard: ASUS Rampage II Extreme
CPU: Core i7 950 @ 3.06 GHz OC at 3.6 GHz
RAM: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Video: nVidia GeForce 210 GTS... it sucks...

These kinds of magic numbers are always fun. My favorite is the string "1AY'" which translates to 31h 41h 59h 27h.
