Me: *opens terminal*
Friend: "is this a virus? Please stop"

    For the best results, open PowerShell, navigate to system32 and drop an "ls" in there and watch them panic as they try to figure out what you're doing.

    Please don’t let him do anything with his IP... if he doesn’t understand what terminal/CMD is/does he doesn’t need to know what his IP is lol.

    ** you mean "opens command"? If the person already has a box capable of running terminal, what are the odds of them being this lame?

    @RantSomeWhere IIRC, PowerShell sets some *NIX-friendly aliases on launch (dir -> ls, cls -> clear, etc)
    Either that, or I had some module loaded

    @evanjs nope, no external module. ls runs perfectly fine on my fresh copy of Windows.

    MacOS and Powershell users may never know the joy of:

    sudo apt-get update && Init 0

    @RantSomeWhere actually... the power shell equivalent of dir is Get-ChildItem. If memory serves me correctly, dir and ls are both aliases for this command

    @Prutser if your memory is indeed serving you correct, that is surely a weird name for a command which lists files

    @SupressWarnings just checked it. My memory served me correctly (sorry for the glare on my screen)
