----------------------------------- Flikerator Fri Nov 11, 2005 7:08 pm Cmd Prompt ----------------------------------- We can do things with Command Prompt, like send msg's to each other, shut each other down and stuff in programming. Well a few idiots have decided to abuse this (Not in out class, just some idiots) and shut people down while there doing work, or spam them. So the administration removed access to command Prompt. So I made my own in C++ and then one in Turing. They aren't really Command Prompts, but they do the exact same thing (Using System Execute). Anways I learned that I can gain access to restricted folders like C:/ and stuff, which was alright. I learned how to move things in other peoples comps, delete things, create things, do stuff from there computer and make it look like its them doing it (very handy). Open webpages on there comp ext. Even shut down ALL the computers on the network. I wanna play a joke on our programming teacher. Im going to use net send to send him a message "Here, have a drink holder" and then open up his D drive. If you right click on your CD drive it has a command "Eject", and when you click it, it opens your CD drive. Its really kinda nifty. I don't know the command in command prompt to do it though. Can anyone help me out? I tried searching for it in google, but I get programs that do it, I just want the Cmd Prompt command. Thanks ^^ ----------------------------------- MysticVegeta Fri Nov 11, 2005 7:17 pm ----------------------------------- Its good but I should suggest this to you, tracking you, for the board, is not that hard. Use some other person's account and do it independantly. Not saying dont do it. I wanna have some fun too :lol: ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Fri Nov 11, 2005 8:19 pm ----------------------------------- Now that you're starting to see how neat a command-line interface is, perhaps this is a good time to introduce yourself to Linux. You see, Linux has a command line shell called bash that is vastly, vastly, vastly superior to MS-DOS. Imagine a shell which you can script! Which you can quite efficiently code in! Which you can securely administer multiple machines from! Which you can even play some very addicting games on. Its one of the big plus'es for Linux, try it out :D ----------------------------------- Flikerator Sat Nov 12, 2005 10:40 am ----------------------------------- What do you mean MysticVegeta? Tracking you? Mean like following me on the board?

Isn't linux an operating system, and aren't operating systems a lot of money? Something thats a lot of money + Me poor = Sad. Yes, linux is an operating system. No, only some operating systems are expensive. Others, such as many distrobutions of linux, are free. Thanks to wtd and Hikaru79, [url=http://www.ubuntulinux.org/]ubuntu is a popular linux distrobution here at compsci.ca. You can download it for free. What's more, you can ask for them to [url=https://shipit.ubuntu.com/]ship you CD's, free of charge. That's right, you don't even have to pay for shipping. Sweet deal, eh? Another great thing about ubuntu is the community. www.ubuntuforums.org is an excellent place to get your questions answered. ----------------------------------- Thuged_Out_G Sat Nov 12, 2005 3:48 pm ----------------------------------- no clue how you could open it through Cmd.... but here's an example how to do it through VBS, maybe it will give you a direction Pulled from Brinkster Code Bank: ----------------------------------- md Sat Nov 12, 2005 7:36 pm ----------------------------------- What do you mean MysticVegeta?

Thanks to wtd and Hikaru79, Sorry to disappoint, but linux is actually only a kernel; the rest of it although commonly included under the header "linux" isn't. That's one of the reasons you now need to pay to use the term "linux", because it's meaning is getting so dilluted. ----------------------------------- wtd Sat Nov 12, 2005 7:45 pm ----------------------------------- That war was lost a long time ago, Cornflake. ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Sat Nov 12, 2005 7:49 pm ----------------------------------- Okay, yes, I know, but give me a break. I'm not saying or typing GNU/Linux every time I want to refer to it. I think it can be considered a fairly established convention that "Linux" can also refer to a system built around the Linux kernel -- including bash! Yes, other kernels can and do support bash, so perhaps I should have given them all a fair mention, but its rather a pedantic point if you ask me :? ----------------------------------- md Sat Nov 12, 2005 10:11 pm ----------------------------------- It's an established convention that can now get you sued ;) But sure use it all you want... I know I'm guilty of it too :P ----------------------------------- Flikerator Sun Nov 13, 2005 12:51 am ----------------------------------- I use windows...lolz.

Correct. Im not gonna switch my OS because I don't know about another Then your curiosity has not been piqued. Perhaps the more you learn about it, the more curious you will become. ----------------------------------- md Sun Nov 13, 2005 4:17 pm ----------------------------------- I use windows...lolz.

Im not gonna switch my OS because I don't know about another :? I just wanted to the command prompt for Opening a Cd Rom :( No one is telling you to do so... wtd is just pointing out that when you don't know of other operating systems (ie. your ignorant) you shouldn't laugh about it, you should instead learn about that which you don't know. While I agree that linux (and the associated programs) make a good operating system for some, for the majority of people (those who enjoy games tremendously, and program little) linux is just not quite ready to replace windows. /me prepares to be berated for not recomending linux to all, and at the same time works on getting linux installed :P ----------------------------------- Flikerator Sun Nov 13, 2005 7:21 pm ----------------------------------- Okay okay I got a little touchy :x What would happen if you switched your OS? Would it change your files or anything? and would you be able to change it back easily? ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Sun Nov 13, 2005 7:31 pm ----------------------------------- It would require you to reinstall everything. You can back up your files of course, and restore them, but its not like Linux is something you run on top of Windows. It REPLACES windows. If you want to take this step, join us on #compsci.ca IRC channel (info in my sig). There's a bunch of regular Linux'ers and BSD'ers who can help you with installation. :) ----------------------------------- Flikerator Sun Nov 13, 2005 8:25 pm ----------------------------------- I think ill make a junker computer out of the parts downstaires and then install linux. But not right now, too much work :roll: :roll:
