Posted December 19, 2015 isnt cmd the same thing? in that right click the bar and go to properties Join the Appleitionist cause! See spoiler below for answers to common questions that shouldn't be common! Spoiler Q: Do I have a virus?! A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not. Q: What email/VPN should I use? A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way) Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???.... A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself. Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z? A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself. Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error? A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 19, 2015 Pretty sure that it is just 'color 0a' for example (The 0a being the color code). "Her tsundere ratio is 8:2. So don't think you could see her dere side so easily."

Posted December 19, 2015 *facepalm* not talking about cmd prompt (and no they are different) I know MS DOS is an OS, but is it not basically command prompt as an OS? Meaning, there are less than 5 things that MS DOS can do that CMD can't? Join the Appleitionist cause! See spoiler below for answers to common questions that shouldn't be common!

Posted December 19, 2015 isnt cmd the same thing? in that right click the bar and go to properties if you think that is the same thing, you need to look up on your computer history, and sit trough a few windows classes. on topic: @FAQBytes got it right, pretty sure.

Posted December 19, 2015 I know MS DOS is an OS, but is it not basically command prompt as an OS? Meaning, there are less than 5 things that MS DOS can do that CMD can't? the windows command prompt is MUCH less powerful than dos, or the linux "terminal emulators" its mostly an advanced feature, thats on its way to be replaced by powershell (now, dont let me get started on the turd that is powershell, they broke even more conventions that VBA did...) EDIT: if you wanna know why it exists, look up on what powershell is designed to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 19, 2015 if you think that is the same thing, you need to look up on your computer history, and sit trough a few windows classes. on topic: @FAQBytes got it right, pretty sure. Gotta love the random garbage I save links to. Got everything from SBSP, to MS-DOS to 10, to AVE and EEVBlog. Just random piddlins that'll probably come in handy in the future. Who knows when you might have to drill a triangle hole in a steel bar. Surprisingly no porn though.

Posted December 19, 2015 That's why I have my magic Ubuntu stick. Works.... well... magic! not in that way. i know a guy that was actually tasked to fill the "red drive" at a repair shop, before the boss took it home for his 10TB nas. this is why i'm worried about the kind of company i'll be working for.
