- DevastatorIIC, on 10/10/2007, -1/+48Dugg for ascii Star Wars and acpi -V
- MavRevMatt, on 10/10/2007, -1/+37ASCII Star Wars is totally badass.
- TheRealToma, on 10/10/2007, -8/+35Dugg for not saying the "Ubuntu Terminal" :)
(proud ubuntu user here) - bytefoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24how about:
finger @bathroom.mit.edu
finger @laundry.mit.edu
:D - jsreid, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24the special effects on the ascii Star Wars are amazing!
- brokentone, on 10/10/2007, -12/+32I type in this special code and starwars starts playing! Umm. . . buried because telneting to a server is hardly "terminal code."
- iamr00t, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19haha! If you go on the one to "chat with a bot," all you get to chat with are a bunch of other diggers!
- SocialPoison, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Neither is using Emacs... but the star wars thing is impressive nonetheless.
- jtxx000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Don't forget ordering pizza!
http://www.beigerecords.com/cory/pizza_party/ - SocialPoison, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10the star wars one impressed me. I hadn't seen that.
- majinboy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7$ echo '[q]sa[ln0=aln256%Pln256/snlbx]sb3135071790101768542287578439snlbxq' | dc
:P - tehmoth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7not just that most of this stuff works in any reasonably modern unix-like operating system.
- dbr_onix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6"Clam Lounge: *IN*USE* for 14 days
[..]
Foo: *IN*USE* for 49 days" Erm.. - Alex2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I liked it when Knoppix added bb to one of it's disks.
You should check if ubuntu has it. - Urusai, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7That's so old, the modern nerd uses Skype on a Bluetooth headset while playing WoW, then has his mom pay for the pizza when it arrives.
- digger_twit, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6"say"
- KibibyteBrain, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Yeah, real men edit files using only cat, echo, and sed. Thats all you should ever NEED.(and really, only echo and cat are fine, if you are that 1337)
- qwuinc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Have a look at festival.
- bronyraur777, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4telnet the-funk.net 7000
instant digg chat room. - aaronm67, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I love the "Advanced users only" part...like any "advanced user" isn't going to know how to open up a file as root and make a file executable.
- hadak, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3You sir, are a ***** noob.
- NOFXY, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3anyone know of anything that will speak out whatever you type?
- niteskunk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Haha, I love stuff like that. There's a few coke machines around the internet too, they'll tell you information such as how many cans are stocked and how cold they are.
- KMartSheriff, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I thought it was the whole movie :(
Badass none the less. - JonForTheWin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2sudo apt-get install flite
$ echo hi | flite - pr1268, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Here's some TOTALLY USELESS Linux shell commands - I actually put these in an auto-signature on some forum...
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
while true; do /bin/true; done
yes I am a broken record
Again, I must stress that these are about as useless as a snow shovel in Singapore... so go ahead and digg me down!
Dugg majinboy's comment - you are such a hacker for knowing how to make text with dc! - InvisibleKid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2If you don't want to install the whole festival thing you can also try flite, the light version of festival, you use it with flite -t 'your phrase'
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Take note: Han fired first.
- KibibyteBrain, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2No, thats hardly true, the rule is:
CLI optimizes input bandwidth(you have hundreds of different meanings for even one keystroke), minimizes output bandwidth(humans read much worse than they see objects)
+ CLI tools can output data in a format friendly to machines and humans
- There are some data that plain text is not well suited for, like photo shop like strokes
GUI optimizes output bandwidth(can display anything the screen can), minimizes input bandwidth**(everything must be displayed as an option that is one)
+ The GUI is very human friendly, as it requires no knowledge of the system to use
- The GUI is a not very machine friendly in any way
** The power of a GUI over a CLI is that 1) A GUI app can utilize a CLI for input while also using graphics for output. Think Quicksilver, which even incorporates the idea of tool-chaining. 2) The GUI can overcome most of its difficulties with shortcut keys and good program design - KibibyteBrain, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2or better yet, single user mode.
- qber, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2People should know better than to enter random commands they find on the internet anyway.
- picsectionpleez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1yeah because running that was cautious
- geodescent, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Why use Skype? Talk is so last century. Only order online.
- t35t0r, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I really like the one that shows you the definition of a word using curl. So you can make a script as root or using sudo (e.g. /usr/local/bin/define in your favorite editor):
#!/bin/sh
curl dict://dict.org/d:$1
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/define. Then in a new terminal type something like "define cool" (may want to pipe through more or less for the long ones). - picsectionpleez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1noob
- picsectionpleez, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Ya'll know better than to post that *****. Seriously, that's uncool.
- Dylan47, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1lol, i was so cautious running that, hoping it wasn't going to splode my computer.
- Ademan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1They missed ddate. considering cowsay was in there... ddate should have totally been in there, far more relevant.
- OrangeTide, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Old but it's new to me and I've been around for a long time.
- picsectionpleez, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2everybody fancy it? Dude, you gotta learn some slang or people are going to think you're gay
- smallarmsdealer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Meh -- this list is OK. ASCII Stars Wars is badass, though!
My favorite thing to do from the terminal:
mplayer http://somafm.com/indiepop.pls
Instant internet radio goodness. Plays it inside the terminal complete with song titles. No need to bother launching a GUI-fronted audio app. - bjarkebech, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1 sorry double post
- wondermoose, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Dugg because Han shot first!
- Dylan47, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1well you see, i took several precautions. firstly i looked into what the program "dc" does, then i realized how novel it was, there really wasn't need for a "secondly".
- Dylan47, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1well you see, i took several precautions. firstly i looked into what the program "dc" does, then i realized how novel it was, there really wasn't need for a "secondly".
- lintmonkey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It is old, but I'm assuming a lot of people still don't know about it, and really, how secure does it have to be?
- hutchy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2For those of us with Vista, enable telnet here: http://blogs.msdn.com/shamit/archive/2006/07/07/65 ...
- antdude, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1URLs?
- bjarkebech, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I just deleted half my applications folder because of this... no *****.
- Shootfast, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1On ubuntu you can sudo apt-get install bb
