You need a quarter to log in

25 cents

It’s common to see gumball machines, etc with slots for 25 cents. Would you think a log in screen could probably have the same function? ;)

I read about an amusing Easter egg on Ubuntu Tutorials and I tried it out the other night. :D It was a log-in screen Easter Egg. If you type “Require Quarter” at the login screen and enter some password, it would say “Please insert 25 cents”~! How amusing! Developers really have such an interesting sense of humor including that on the log in screen. I had a bit of a problem with logging in though because it went quirky on me for a while.

Try it and you would see what I mean!

    Yeah that’s really amusing if you happen to be an American.
