Windows Run commands: 112 ways to command Windows

112 Windows commands. I don't know that this is something I would keep handy because I am too lazy to type all that in every time I wanted to run a program, which is why we have icons in this modern world. If you are a Linux/Unix geek, simply like carpal tunnel, or have a penchant for painful memory overruns (in your head) I can see using this. I don't know who put this up, but it looks like a personal cheat sheet that you could print out and reference on occasion if you need to do something special you can't find easily elsewhere on your PC. I like lists of commands, codes, and other jazz. I suppose this is because it is a type of inro pr0n. I like my information overload alright? Don't knock it man, some people like cats. I happen to not be one of them.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I use windows key + R all the time... icons are gross.... Protip: create a shortcut to a program you use all the time. rename it to something short, like ff for firefox, copy and paste the shortcut in system32, then windows key + R type "ff" enter... done. faster than any icon, and doesnt take up desktop space.

Using the mouse requires MORE work than using the command-line, not less. Using the keyboard is lazy. Using the mouse is slow and hard.

Most *nix commands are only two letters, like ls, mv, cp, ps, etc. If a *nix user has to add options all the time or the command is really long, they just make an alias.
The reason I use a command line interface on Mac OS X is because if I can do it, I can automate it. That is, commands can be stored as a script. Very handy.
