I did manage to open it, there's a secret message in the middle pertaining to a princess.

Uh, you're talking about that file that supposedly expands to more GB than can fit in the average GPUs memory, which in fact it does if the color-depth is 32-bit. It's an interesting trick, and there are a few others out there such as the file that decompresses to itself.

I avoid things like this 🙂

Most programs refused to open it calling the file corrupt or non standard file format. Gimp 2.6 is trying to open it but looks like it will take until next tuesday. Shall I pour myself a drink and wait or cancel?

Windows is reporting 225,000 x 225,000 pixels. Don't know if that's accurate, can anyone confirm?

And what is that like 50,000 megapixels?

edit: I just read the OPs link that confirms it's 50 gigapixels.

These things are commonly called "zip bombs"
Not sure if this is allowed, but, I guess we will find out.

I doubt it will crash or hang any modern browser. They won't even attempt to open it. Firefox won't.

Opening a file with unknown content from the internet is generally almost as entertaining as playing dban

You cant.

Its a zip file.

And theres no place to post it online so you can put it inline.

Looks like a blank square on my iPhone with lots and lots of scrolling.

I don't know what program to use to open it, thread fail.

7zip or WinRar should do it. GNU/Linux does it natively.

Well that was a bitch. The dllhost process or whatever was at constant 50% when going to the directory with the spark folder. So I had to delete this fucker with command prompt. Here's how. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/55728-file-delete-command-prompt.html
