Compatibility mode applies to processes, though, which raises a problem with batch files (or scripts) that use those things, as you'd then have to make cmd always run in compatibility mode (or Python, or Perl, etc.).

Parsing would be ambiguous, though, as the built-in commands don't require a space before its first argument. So things like copy/y foo bar were (and still are) valid. With directories they would either retain their original meani

So you lock cmd in compat mode for all eternity because there are batch files that use such things?

Isn't that what the"Start folder windows in a separate process" setting is for? More stability at the expense of more memory and less responsiveness. In the days of Windows 95 it was actually beneficial to not do that. Nowada

PRN would be the default priner, LPTn would be the various ports. It will work if you have a printer connected to LPT1, got example. LPT on its own isn't reserved.

I'm not sure switch performance is a relevant concern for setting the last modification time of a file.

One thing that probably would be useful is when commands are not completely typed or parametrized at the end of the pipeline to still show the last result along with the error message instead of replacing everything and thus removing any co

Apparently there are a lot of people also using Explorer for extracting zip files. Those end up in our support because the .NET License Compiler won't license components that have the Internet Zone black mark on them. And Explorer is t

I remember when I was vectorizing flags (the simple geometric kind, though, since I've done it with a text editor and some scripting/templating) on Wikimedia Commons as a pastime years ago. I got reasonably well-versed in parsing

While I'd agree that VLC is fairly bad usability-wise, concentrating on this single feature is wrong, I think. It's an obscure feature buried two or three layers deep in an effects panel that most users never see or use. VLC has a

The telemetry will tell. Rockets send back heaps of data from dozens, if not hundreds of sensors. All that is stored precisely so there's no guesswork based on a ground camera and the real-time audio needed.

The rocket doesn't need one. The spaceship does. But considering that the whole thing gets redesigned every two months I wouldn't worry too much. It's still years from flying, so plenty of time to change stuff.

JavE's ( http://jave.de ) converter was quite good with a bunch of options. But I haven't used any of those things in ... ages by now, so no idea what's the current state of the art.

If it's only about shading, maybe. Although I found this style of ASCII art to be the least interesting. The better variants also do edge detection and consider the character shape. If you're going Unicode, I think one of the pret

We use both, just not in the way a typical git workflow would use feature branches. Basically those are all anonymous heads on the same branch for us; a workflow that is probably as alien to git users as naming each and every head is to Mer

Our workflow at work (with Mercurial) revolves heavily around multiple heads for a single branch and relating the commits to a JIRA issue is done by simply putting the issue number in the commit message. So we have (unnamed) feature branche
