so stupid
when did digg become spam paradise. who is digging this crap?
stupid
what a pile of crap spam.
this is spam.
tupperwear spam.
so spammer.
what is with all the sale spam on digg.
if this isn't spam, I will eat my hat. - inactive, on 08/11/2008, -3/+29Why can't we bury as "Pointless"?
- richbradshaw, on 07/19/2008, -9/+29echo "I wish you could just install DOS in linux. ls? why not just use dir! One extra letter makes all the difference. Pipes? Who needs them - pipes are the most useless thing ever. Grep? Christ, who needs regular expressions when you can use find and replace in Word. ssh? We already have telnet, and that's all we need." > /dev/sarcasm
- neopherine, on 07/19/2008, -1/+18RTFA
- colonelxc, on 07/20/2008, -1/+16I wanted to make my DOS prompt look like a bash prompt, so I installed linux
- KhaaL, on 07/19/2008, -3/+18This could be used as a prank on a linux loving user. I'll be using this in time for aprils fool!
- ktxxx, on 07/19/2008, -2/+17I was about to say "Oh dear god why?!" but then I read this... 'Why would you do it? You shouldn’t; unless you have something for dos prompts.'
- mem2, on 07/20/2008, -2/+16"ls? why not just use dir!"
nearly all modern linux distros alias or symlink ls to dir
"Pipes? Who needs them"
DOS apparently
While I appreciate any jab @ the windows user fan base you should at least be correct, or were you intentionally imitating a very dumb windows user ? If so I apologize for my misconstruing of your sarcasm. - jokr004, on 07/19/2008, -0/+12pwd would be better than ls, besides, most default .bashrc files tell you where you are in the prompt
- arjie, on 07/19/2008, -1/+13You must be one sick bastard, you plan your pranks a year ahead. I wouldn't cross you, man.
- nnagflar, on 07/20/2008, -1/+12To trick someone, kinda like it says above.
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -1/+11And yet Bash is like 9000 times better... Let's not count all of the awesome features it has aside from changing the prompt.
DOS and CMD.exe are HORRIBLE. DREADFUL. Any other negative word - Compared to BASH. If you think else, you've never used BASH. and also - Bash Scripts > Batch Scripts x 1000... - xShifty, on 07/20/2008, -0/+10This is only the first part of his plan. You see, his prank will make his friend think he's entered an alternate, parallel reality. Eventually it will be so elaborate that it will be the only April fool's joke that has ever made someone commit suicide. Don't ***** with this dude.
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -0/+9"Ok, this is lame" ?
- MattBD, on 07/20/2008, -0/+8Maybe, but any Unix shell > DOS
- DanAshcroft, on 07/20/2008, -1/+7Sweet zombie Jesus, why?
- ktxxx, on 07/19/2008, -5/+11echo "All of what you just said" > /dev/null
- TehDoctor, on 07/20/2008, -0/+6@TGMD
*****. The powershell doesn't talk in plain text, rendering it useless. I'm not going to hook some garbage API into my program to deal with "cmdlets." What a joke. - rento, on 07/20/2008, -0/+6I know this is absurd... but it looks like kind of retro.
- netneutrality, on 07/19/2008, -0/+6It's a computer cultural thing. Some people will never get why you'd want to do this. I do. Makes certain sense on Cygwin or MSYS too.
- bubba9999, on 07/20/2008, -0/+6Very, very few people these days know what the DOS prompt looks like to begin with. This is about 15 years too late.
- Herzasche, on 07/20/2008, -0/+5i was about to ask that then i read the dicription
- redxii, on 07/20/2008, -3/+7Buried as inaccurate. That is not a DOS prompt, it's a Command prompt.
- CATSCEO2, on 07/20/2008, -2/+6To everyone saying "Why?": READ THE ***** DESCRIPTION.
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -0/+4Nothing says power like .NET bloat.
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -0/+4Yes, Win32 and DOS have Pipes, mem2, but they suck. Ass.
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -4/+7Oh those poor self-righteous Linux wankers
Linus would say shame on you for acting like a superior idiot, despite weighing 300 pounds and remaining a virgin for the rest of your life - richbradshaw, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3That's ok, the sarcasm was fairly easy to misconstrue!
- ajocksch, on 07/20/2008, -0/+3I hate to say it, but if
a) your target uses linux, and
b) your target knows how to use bash prompt
I *highly* doubt they'd be taken in by this. - falafelkiosken, on 07/20/2008, -0/+3since when is dos (CP/M) more retro than Unix?
- stormfish77, on 07/20/2008, -0/+3I have instructions on how to make a Ferrari look like a station wagon if anyone is interested.
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -1/+4Let me guess.
You use Ubuntu. - fakeollie, on 07/20/2008, -0/+2tl;dr
bash: tl: command not found
bash: dr: command not found - DavidGX, on 07/20/2008, -1/+3Right.. because that's what I want from linux, for it to be MORE LIKE WINDOWS.
Buried. - falafelkiosken, on 07/20/2008, -1/+3http://www.explosm.net/comics/502/
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -2/+4lol...
I don't know whether your saying something good about DOS or not...
but Bash has overcome it by a long shot. People should know that CMD.exe sucks so that when they come to linux they won't expect the terminal to be that train wreck it is in Windows. - inactive, on 07/20/2008, -0/+2Oh, I've heard that joke before.
Damn my memory. - orvtech, on 07/20/2008, -0/+2this is what happens when things like Ubuntu come to the community.
- skimmas, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2The only thing you should miss from DOS is "prince.exe megahit". In linux you will probably need some wine to go with that, which seems wrong in kids game. :P
- pedepy, on 07/19/2008, -3/+5retro ftw++
- TheOther1, on 07/20/2008, -0/+2Bash cures cancer
http://bashcurescancer.com/ - sexybobo, on 07/20/2008, -0/+2Microsoft Bob runs under wine. Just saying.
- joltjake, on 07/20/2008, -1/+3Well that was ***** useless. Coming up next: Make hardy heron look like Windows ME!
- linuxpenguin, on 07/20/2008, -0/+2Huh?
All the distros I've seen show you what directory you're in by default. . . I suppose you could change that, but why? - antdude, on 07/20/2008, -0/+2emm386.exe, himem.sys, format.com, etc. FTW!
- mik3pass, on 07/20/2008, -1/+3It appends C: in front of everything. There isn't any drive-lettering in Linux. So that means if you change to one of your external hard-drives, it's still going to display as C: .... yeah...
I just don't see the purpose in trying to emulate the DOS looks when the bash look is fine as it is. - fuzzynyanko, on 07/20/2008, -0/+2The good old days of memmaker.exe
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -0/+2I can't believe i said 9000 times.
I didn't even mean to do that... -
