kick out of useless batch files
« on: July 11, 2007, 10:14:59 AM »
I was using a cd burning program when i realized i can get a kick out of watching my cd drive open and close without touching it. I must have sat there for 15 minutes and i kept opening/closing it. Is there a command i can use for this so i can watch my disc trays go crazy? that would be so cool

Try something like this - http://www.wineject.com/features.en.php

You might be able to figure out how to do it via command line.

dude... everything this fella does is ''suspicious''..

if he was really doing anything wrong he wouldn't be posting about it.. or would he.. maybe that's his logic and he knows we'd think like that, so he's posting to make us think otherwise... or maybe he really isn't but we just think he is because we think he actually is because he's pretending he's not...

too right buddy ;D
my point exactly.
if you wanted to wreck a cd drive, you would have used the approach i did back in my days of middle school = a screwdriver + a CD drive + my hands = an angry teacher, $30 out of my wallet, and suspension >.<
all worth it to get out of class i thought at the time lol... now i regret it though... i could have used that $30 for more screwdrivers..

EDIT: lol i'm not saying i approve of this nasty slaughtering of cd drives, nor am i trying to tell anyone they should try it >.<
phew! that's my disclaimer out of the way :)

yeah i do think that that sounds stupid but how would an open close open close lead me to murdering hardware. I still dont understand why  everyone hates all my topics/posts. Everyone thinks im up to something that im not. to tell you the truth right before i replied to this i was trying to make a simple DOS text editor, not like any kind or virus or fake virus or hackage program or w/e. Also im not even in school and its summer and beating up the school computers is stupid. my stepdad is a principle in my district and he would find out about it if i did. trust me ive been in trouble at school many time for writing dirty notes, threats, bringing porn and all kinds of stuff i would never do again. no im rambling on about god know what. lol how did i even manage to type this much about basically nothing. i gotta end this ;D

A dos text editor? You mean something like

@echo off
echo.
:1
set /p a=
goto :1

If not, well, theres something kinda useless...

Who made Vista?

And with the CD drive thing, it would freak out a low level computer user. They would think it's like possessed or something...

You have stated in more than one post that you want to learn things for the sake of showing off and having people "fear" you.  You have also expressed interest in wanting to prank people by creating a fake virus.  Such activities are what make us question your motives.  You want to do this just so you can sit there and watch your tray open and close repeatedly (which probably isn't a good idea for your drive)?  If you're that desperate to be amused, I've got a nice shiny nickel you can toss around.
