alt Hacker NewsQQRIQ is a phonetic abbreviation of "kukuriku", which is the sound of the rooster in Hungarian and in several other languages (Polish "kukuryku", Hebrew " קוקוריקו" etc.). Makes wonder what the process for choosing the passwords was.

The programmers for this game were in Budapest, so this is a good guess!

could it be that the rooster/cockadoodledoo is something performed like clockwork in the morning, so the showing framedata also being tangential to time and clocks ? probably not
Also Gyugyu might be a reference to the Hungarian movie: "The Fifth Seal"
"Just imagine you are about to die, but you will be reincarnated in to one of two people; a slave or the rich master. The slave suffers under the master. He has his tongue and an eye removed and his wife and child are killed. He goes on living knowing he is a good person, as he never committed such appalling, sadistic acts on another like his master has done. The rich master has no moral qualms about it at all. He doesn't think what he did was wrong; the slave needed to be punished. You have the choice, whether to be a poor and righteous slave or be a rich and corrupt master."
Gyugyu is the name of the slave.
