An anonymous reader writes "There's nothing quite like command-line tools for handling large batches of tasks, and image manipulations are no exception.

    Cat a binary file to stdio.

    It plays a cool song. Your colleagues will be most impressed. "beepbeepBoopbeepbeepboopBOOPBOOPbeepbeepboopboopb eepbeep..."
