kalababa, to be honest, it's a rather boring game. :( It keeps repeating: "Invalid command."
MS DOS is much more interesting! ;)
That's what MS DOS is.

Funny... It reminded me of my childhood :D

That's basically MS-DOS.
More precisely, it's an imitation: it only has the "basic" commands... By the way, DOS doesn't have the out command, but it does have the type command...

Well, here's a mix; at the beginning, I tried to do it using only DOS commands, but it didn't turn out very well.

Yeah. I also initially thought I knew everything. Was that the puzzle? :D

Well, the point of the puzzle is to find the coordinates, which, by the way, are real and will point to St. Petersburg.

At my work, people who are not familiar with command lines, after entering their name and the format with a comma, entered exactly this :D

More precisely, it's near St. Petersburg: Vsevolozhsk. What's the address of the puzzle creator?

P.S. If you enter it in reverse, you'll end up on the border between Iran and Afghanistan... :D

For some reason, this flash drive isn't working when I try to use it again...
A real MS DOS actually looks a bit different. By the way, even now, anyone can get acquainted with MS DOS using DOS LIVE CD - I experimented with it myself. On my old PC, I could boot from this disk and listen to MP3 music (the sound card was recognized by the player). I could also watch videos, but they were without sound: the video player needed a driver. And, of course, I could play DOS games!

This is part of a role-playing quest, meaning people figure out the location and drive there.

A question for Pasha Dubrovin, the only employee of the Federal Migration Service that I know. The situation is as follows:
A person applied for an electronic signature:
The passport is Russian. I look at the passport scan: Surname - ***** (5 asterisks, printed that way), First name and Patronymic are indicated (complex, I don't remember what they are anymore)
We entered everything as in the passport into the certificate - GN = *****
Will the tax office accept such a certificate?

We tried to find documents regulating the rules for filling in the "Surname" field in the passport - we didn't find any. There is nothing about this in the regulations on the Passport and the description of the passport form.

Yes, a passport can be without a surname.

About what bothers me:

Natalia Belyushina. The Triumph of Vulgarity
For several years, I have been watching with diminishing interest how people are turning the Russian language into its pathetic imitation.

If you can't handle a lot of text, you can skip straight to the illustrations under the text – they are indescribable! But be careful: reading the article and looking at the pictures may be harmful to your health; you might simply die of laughter! :D

There is also a wonderful example in the comments, closer to the end; I want to quote it, but since it is also very long, I don't want to commit the sin of "creating walls of text." ;) You can find it yourself by searching for this fragment:
A guy posted this in the Community:
We were assigned to read "Don Quixote" and "Robinson Crusoe" at school. The books are difficult, complicated, boring, and tedious to read; I personally couldn't handle it. Could you please provide a summary, or a link to one!!
And people, of course, didn't skimp on the comments) I'll quote some:
I'm summarizing "Don Quixote." In principle, half of the content is already described in the title: "donkey" in English is "ass," and "hot" is "hot"...

Why go through all this trouble? Just open the command prompt in Windows and have fun! If you want a complete immersion in the atmosphere, you can run Windows in command-line mode...

But thanks for the link! Downgrading is an interesting topic! I'm hearing about this for the first time, I need to study this issue...

This is part of a role-playing quest, i.e., roughly speaking, people determine this location and drive there by car.
Yes, it's clear, but I doubt that such games are common here. Or are they still happening?

And I've encountered encoding the author's location coordinates in puzzles a couple of times (I don't know why they do this... maybe they're happy with the fame...).

Alternatively, you can take some Linux distribution, say BT3, and mess around with your neighbor's (or even a nearby company's) Wi-Fi. Complete immersion is guaranteed.

Opera, starting with version 15, simply became terrible; don't update to it if you don't already know. Just type "Opera 15" into Google if you're interested.
