XKCD Deploys Command Line Interface

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it's-actually-better dept.

ipquickly was one of a large number of users to note that the best on-line comic has just got a little better with the addition of a command line interface. You can also sign the petition to make the CLI permanent.

    Slashdot has completely missed the point of April fools day. They posted a REAL story in amongst the entire useless days worth of fake ones.

    Yeah, because all of this could be done with plain HTML, obviously. Of course it's scripted. What do people expect?

    I've written a couple different fake shells, but usually just as a practical joke. Such as: C:\ > dir WARNING, ALL DATA ON NON-REMOVABLE DISK DRIVE C: WILL BE LOST! Proceed with Format? y Formatting 248.9 GB...3% I've also written a BSOD screensaver, which was really fun. I also once hacked someone's existing screensaver to throw in an occasional subliminal message like "Do it." or "Kill him." Oh, and don't forget the ol' replacing someone's desktop background with a screen-shot of their old desktop, and then deleting all the icons. That's always good for a few laughs.

      I may have recreated the windows login screen once.

      It didn't actually work, of course. It always error'd when they tried to login, but it caught a fair few people whose usernames and passwords were identical.

    Well, "sudo make me a sandwich" works only in the minimal sense of replying "Okay."

    I'd have been more impressed if it replied "Okay, you're a sandwich."
