Trump didn't help but the FANG's aren't too shiny this week. Zuckie's
net worth dropping by a billion or two didn't have anything to do with
Trump.


That did not bother me as it was well deserved. He's an arrogant prick

Who cares what people on Twitter think anyway?


Zuckerberg is Facebook but it is the same thing. They let you on for
free, then sell everything you tell them about yourself.
My dog has a facebook page but they don't seem to know me at all (I
downloaded the data)
They have sniffed Amazon cookies off of my machine tho. I told that
furry prick to use his own machine from now on.

I suppose the real trick is to just use a separate browser for social
media and don't share data between them.

I have 8 different web browsers on this machine that I play with. Sometimes a locked down secure browser won't display a page properly and I must copy the address and load it into Internet Explorer so I can view the darn site.. I'm in Slimjet Browser right now and using a proxy in New York City supplied by the Browsec add-on. ^_^

Why bother with all that? I use Opera and it works 99% of the time. If it fails I just use Internet Explorer. If a web page won't work with either of those it can **** off. When designing a web page you should make it work with all browsers, or at least the well known ones.

And what irritates me is every time I load Internet Explorer it asks me to try "Edge" or some such bull****. Just because they change the name I see no reason I have to download it seperately. It should upgrade itself like any other software.

You could do all of that with DOS 30 years ago.
If you store this as a batch file it does exactly what you are saying.
It was meant for copying to diskettes that run out of space a lot
faster than a thumb drive

run line would be XCOPIER C:\myfiles*.* A:

(XCOPIER.BAT)
ECHO SETTING ATTRIBITES ON %1
ATTRIB +A %1 %3
ECHO COPYING %1 TO %2
:RUNCOPY
XCOPY %1 %2 /M %3
IF ERRORLEVEL 4 GOTO AGAIN
GOTO END
:AGAIN
ECHO CHANGE DISKETTES THEN
PAUSE
GOTO RUNCOPY

And on an up to date windows, I just drag.


The difference is DOS gives you more control over what gets copied. If
it is too complicated for you to do I understand.
Some people like Apple.

What's cleverer than

copy d:\dirtyPictures\MileyCyrus.jpeg .

?

COPY D:\MP3Files\*.MP3 D:playlist\.m3u /ON/B
(creates a standard play list from the MP3 files directory sorted by
artist name)
or
XCOPY D:\files d:backup /S /M /D:01-01-2018

"backup" that were created since 1/1/18 that have been modified since
the last time you copied them or otherwise reset the archive bit)
A clever person can do things with a few keystrokes in DOS that you
need an extra software package to do in Windoze.
There are DOS text editors can do things to a flat text file that you
pretty much cannot do in windoze unless you want to create an excel
spread sheet.

I can make a playlist by simply dragging files onto Window Media Player, no typing required.


Sure, dragging files one at a time.


No, I can drag folders, groups of files, whatever I like. Much much easier than typing commands.

This takes about a second and I am not dragging that media player hog
around.


It uses 1% of my CPU when running.


Some of us don't have a problem typing and how would you easily just
drag and drop files that had not been backed up, that start with the
string "Glasgow" and only include ".JPG" files?
Windows would let you sort for file name, extension or date but not
all 3.

In DOS it is
XCOPY D:\Glasgow*.jpg d:backup /S /M /D:01-01-2018

Why type when you can just click? I'd just search for Glasgow, then sort the results by type.


But you either sort by type or date, not both.
At a certain point I will be able to type that command far faster than
all of your clicks.

If you like windoze, use it but don't deny it is the not always best
solution to every problem.

That's what you'd write in DOS.


Or Linux... If you want to bring up File Explorer or whatever they
call it in Win10, find the file, right click, select copy from the menu,
go to the target directory, right click, and select paste, go right
ahead. It drives me crazy when some of our younger employees do that.

If you can't do it in gVim it doesn't need doing... The first

still don't have a use for a spreadsheet.

And if you know your way around PowerShell:

The docs do say "it is designed specifically for system administrators

CE3 a subset of the IBM Editor that has the ability to select columns
or rows, something you can't do in windoze text editors and you can
move them around, sort them, change case, insert/delete text globally
horizontally or vertically (handy if you are manipulating lists like a
play list) and a bunch of things I never used. There is also a text
search and the ability to insert script tags (similar to HTML)
The thing I like is the global changing of a vertical column. Say you
have a long playlist pointing to D: xxxxx and you want to make it E:
or something. You just light up the column and replace that character.
You can also do the type of moving columns like a spreadsheet all in
something that runs from DOS.
