<symbio> DS's fitted cap size is: [order by manufacturer only]
<bmc> how would you do that on windows?
<tweek> I think even AbiWord has PDF support
<bmc> or better yet, porn files
<tweek> MS Office is currently implementing it :)
<bmc> you want to rename debbie_does_dallas.mpg to 01.mpg
<tweek> and Vista looks like nothing more than catch-up too.
<bmc> and so on
<DStewart> bmc, you'd write a batch file with a few commands, or download a free program that did it
<bmc> 02.mpg
<US`Male> bmc: it's called a batch file
<US`Male> or, d/l a free program yes
<bmc> so you can do that with a single line on the shell
<Gazpacho> tweek: OO didn't exist when I was using Lunix
<symbio> bmc: Is that how you hide your porn from your mom?
<bmc> no file needed
<symbio> Rename it to numbers?
<tweek> US`Male: admit it, Windows' shell ****s ***.
<tweek> *****.
<US`Male> bmc: you want to rename a single file ?
<bmc> no
<bmc> say 1000 files
<tweek> Monad looks kinda cool. but they won't have it done for years.
<tweek> typical.
<Twobar> You have to admit: everything except Windows XP is gay.
<US`Male> ok, use a btach file
<DStewart> In OS X, you could open a terminal and do the same thing you would do in Linux, or you'd download a free program that does it, or you'd write an automator workflow that would do it, or write an applescript to do it.
<bmc> yes
<tweek> Twobar: ha!
<Twobar> tweek is admitting it .
<symbio> bmc renames all his beastality porn to 01.mpg, 02.mpg so his mom doesn't kick em' out
<bmc> the shell is what makes it easy
<Gazpacho> tweek: here's what I had to do: write HTML in Emacs, render it with Netscape, print it to a postscript file, manually convert the postscript to printer codes, and then dump those to the printer
<tweek> Twobar: FreeBSD is alright...
<Gazpacho> tweek: rinse, repeat
<Twobar> tweek, g.a.y.
<DStewart> XP is not good enough to even merit gay. It's gay-curious.
<US`Male> bmc: I have free programs that rename 1000 files or however many
<symbio> lol
<symbio> XP Pro is OK actually
<symbio> For what I need it for
<bmc> so you need a program for it
<TimothyW> how much is AbiWord ?
<Gazpacho> tweek: ghostscript did not automatically print postscript files the way it was supposed to
<symbio> I won't touch Home
<DStewart> FREE
<tweek> $0
<bmc> abiword is free
<DStewart> AbiWord is free.
<DStewart> And pretty darn good.
<US`Male> is gay-curious the same as bi-curious ?
<DStewart> USM, no.
<tweek> Gazpacho: back in the day, perhaps.
<symbio> XP Home is like paying a little less for a stripped down caddy that doesn't even have air conditioning
<tweek> from what little I know of print formats, CUPS handles mostly everything now...
<symbio> Just say NO!
<DStewart> bmc, what's the single-line command that'll do that renaming in linux shell?
<US`Male> edges
<DStewart> USM, uh, it's Windows XP that's gay-curious. Not me.
<US`Male> oh ok
<Twobar> DS, uh. no. its..you.
<tweek> XP is, like, three years old.
<symbio> USM is hitting on the Ops again
<DStewart> XP is older than that
<US`Male> DStewart: notthatthere'sanythingwrongwiththat
<symbio> USM, you know it's not going to get you anywhere
<tweek> anyone that doesn't realize how ****ing ancient this is, is probably not going to need anything more anyway.
<DStewart> NTTAWWT?
<US`Male> yes
<bmc> unset j; for x in *.mpg; do echo mv "$x" $((j++)).mpg; done
<bmc> see that?
<bmc> heh
<bmc> thats how easy it would be
<tweek> echo mv?
<bmc> er
<bmc> i tested it :P
<symbio> tweek: So what?
<bmc> haha
<US`Male> bmc: oh, I can write that in basic
<bmc> unset j; for x in *.mpg; do mv "$x" $((j++)).mpg; done
<Gazpacho> tweek: whereas the lunix shell is new and fresh!
<TimothyW> DStewart : how do I download it ?
<symbio> tweek: People are still using kernels that are a lot odler
<symbio> older
<US`Male> qbasic used to do that too
<symbio> What does age have to do with it?
<tweek> Gazpacho: KDE3 is actually pretty bloated.
<DStewart> bmc, I think it'd be pretty easy in a batch file too. You're just using ; to separate commands. So a batch file would use additional lines instead of the ;
<symbio> "Updating Everything" isn't always the answer
<DStewart> Not a difference in substance.
<tweek> bloated as in, a lotta **** to click for you old-timers.
<symbio> Even more so in Linux
<US`Male> it's just a do-loop
<Twobar> got a problem with XP ? Hell, just update.
<US`Male> actually bmc, I can do that in mIRC
<Twobar> its' gone !
<TimothyW> DStewart : how do I download it ?
<tweek> Twobar: to what?
<US`Male> to tell you the truth
<redfish> pop
<DStewart> Timothy, go to the site... google it
<Twobar> tweek, to the next step !
<tweek> next step...?
<symbio> The people that use Linux and try to update everything everytime a new stable version comes out are crazy
<redfish> pop
<bmc> for (( i=0; i < 10; i++ )); do < how about something like that?
<Twobar> well, yes. ahem
<Gazpacho> TimothyW: how do i shot web
<bmc> can you do that in a batch file?
<US`Male> bmc, yeah mIRC has "for" loops
<redfish> pop
<bmc> or ${array[@]} ?
<US`Male> "do loops"
<US`Male> if, then else
<DStewart> Twobar, that's the great thing. XP is constantly updated; it has an average of 27 security updates a week.
<US`Male> bmc: yeah it has arrays
<Twobar> DS yes, that is a great thing. Its always moving upwards. And onwards.
<US`Male> Qbasic has arrays
<US`Male> as well
<tweek> Twobar: ha!
<symbio> As I said, there are people in Linux using kernels that are years old STILL and swear buy them. So who cares how old XP is?
<symbio> That was a bad arguement
<bmc> how about variable substitution?
<DStewart> The great thing about Windows is that it can always be made more secure than it is.
<tweek> always twirling, twirling toward stability!
<Twobar> DS, and that is a great thing !
<bmc> like ${variable##/.*} or something
<redfish> pocket flan
<tweek> symbio: FreeBSD 6.0RC1 just came out...
<bmc> ${var/foo/bar}
<symbio> CVS geeks scare me
<tweek> a few months after 5.4.
<DStewart> Twobar... that was actually a back-handed kind of good thing
<bmc> ${var:1:@}
<bmc> 1:2
<Twobar> DStewart , just remember. I can pull your drivers.
<tweek> 2.4.6 has been out for a while, and from my knowledge, continually updated.
<redfish> mechanical marvels
<DStewart> Twobar, no you can't. You don't use OS X.
<DStewart> LOSER!
<TimothyW> Gazpacho : Know how to m***ey on the Pool Table ?
<tweek> also, XP includes *MUCH* more than just a layer to allocate resources to processes.
<symbio> tweek: Right, so age doesn't mean anything
<US`Male> 10 Printf "bmc iz gay" GOTO 10
<Twobar> DStewart. Fine. I'll get MrRod to do it.
<bmc> heh
