    Well I engineer enterprise grade software, and this wouldn't be at all possible if there was no MS-Office, and hence no VBA.

    what a long and convoluted pain.
    consider the POSIX shell variant

  7. Sorry, no app for that on Does Anyone Make a Photo De-Duplicator For Linux? Something That Reads EXIF? · · Score: 1

    However it's fairly easy to do with a unix shell and only standard tools...
    Something along the lines of:

    find /path/to/pics -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5 | sort | while read hash r; do
    if ! [ "$lasthash" = "$hash" ]; then
    echo "$rest"
    fi
    lasthash="$hash"
    done | while read dupe; do
    echo rm -- "$dupe"
    done

    That would, once the echo is removed, delete all files that are dupes (except one of each).
    Typed it right into the /. comment box, though, so it's probably wrong somewhere. Only intended to convey the idea.

    a powerful laser blast will just break the ordinary matter into smaller pieces, which will still be sitting in the way.

    Right, because particles coming loose tend to just remain floating in place, rather than being pulled down by gravity, clearing the way.

    It seems to take them one generation to flush the problems out of each new release so windows 8 is basically "windows 9 beta"

    It makes me cringe how you suggest technical reasons being the issue here. Flushing out problems, huh? How about creating problems because it's kind of hard to keep releasing "totally innovative, awesomely improved, etc"-style products to be purchased by idiots.
