This is why most schools do not allow flash drives. Partially so you lot don't go installing whatever you feel like, but mostly just to keep the school network and computers from being infected by you.
I find this sentence a bit funny, because at my school they say in the school supply list at the beginning of the year that it is mandatory to have a flash drive st school with over 1GB of storage. I was using a 1GB USB for the first 2 years there. It was just this year I got an 8GB.
You also mentioned floppy disks earlier in the post. Last year I was doing one of those special science projects that they do in the last month of the school year and we were doing stuff about volcanoes. The teacher said we could do whatever we wanted for the project as long as he approved of it. Most of the kids made model volcanoes with little facts posted around it or a big poster. My one friend did a YouTube video though and I made a website.
I was very exited about this project so I got started at home right away. The problem was the IBM computer I was doing this project on didn't have any USB ports and was running Windows 95, It did however have a floppy drive. So I worked on it for about a week, getting all the facts on, adding kewl javascript and images etc. etc., so I save it all on the disk and it is about 1.25MB in size.
When I brought the diskette to school though I found out my teachers drive wasn't working!!! (All the school computers had floppy drives in them by default.) When I tried to read the disk, the drive clicked and the light turned on. This was about it. (The file explorer also froze for a minute.) I was disappointed, so my teacher called the tech (which was down the hall eating a sandwich) and he said because I was using Windows 95 that the file format was unreadable by other computers and that the drive was not broken. (My 1GB USB used the same file format as the diskette: Fat16).
I did not give up however. I went to my band teacher across the hallway who didn't have a class at the time. I told him I needed to get the files off my diskette and my science teachers drive was broken. He told me he would try to read the disk, so I gave it to him, he put it in his drive, (The drive is really slow in Windows 7.) and copied everything into his documents within 3 minutes. He then e-mailed my teacher the website, I presented it and got full marks for my hard work. (The other students also liked the special java game I added at the end.)
I can't believe the tech thought that Fat16 was unreadable in Windows 7 even though my USB used that format!

Let me reread that for you:

You don't know how sick I get of people at my school opening cmd and typing "tree", then calling themselves hackers.
No! The cmd is locked, so you write a batch file like:
@echo on
color a
tree.com c:\
(It changes it to a bright green!)
DOS is so fun to use... and it reads my floppy disks faster!

You should throw out your stupid 1980's computers that use windows 1 and get a real computer from within the last 2 years.
Or at least that's what one of them said. He's not really smart with computers. They are from the early to mid 90's anyway and I only own on from the 80's: My dad's old Coleco Adam. And it's not Windows 1, it's Windows for Workgroups 3.11! I don't know how many times I've told him that! And I do have I newer computer I use for more stuff. My Dell Dimension XPS B600r! I Finally got a new monitor for Christmas so I can display above 1024 x 786 screen resolution. That old monitor is now on my IBM.
By the way... does anyone know what 7" floppy diskettes would be used for? I found them at my Baba's and Gido's farm. No there not those 51/2"diskettes. They are legitimately 7" big! (or passably 8"... I'm not quite shure)
Yes... it kind of is. That is why it is called MS-DOS prompt in older versions of Windows... and it also uses most of the same commands... and it runs MS-DOS programs. (Full screen also worked before Windows Vista.)

You know like how Linux is based off of Unix?
No, you are wrong. The command prompt is based off the MS-DOS console, not MS-DOS itself. Windows is sort of based off MS-DOS.
That is why it is called MS-DOS prompt in older versions of Windows
Because in older versions of windows it literally was a DOS prompt.
This is no longer the case, and has not been the case for a very long time.
... and it also uses most of the same commands
If I create a program in C# that takes DOS commands as inputs, and gives a similar output, that does not make it a DOS prompt.
... and it runs MS-DOS programs.
No it does not.
(Full screen also worked before Windows Vista.)
What are you saying? It still does.

This is not the case, and has not been the case for a very long time.
Windows has not been based on DOS for almost 2 decades now, likely longer/almost longer than you and most of the people in this thread have been alive.

"I'm not invincible, you certainly weren't" This implies that I said I was invincible, or at least makes it seem like it at least has a passing relevance to the topic at hand, which it did not. You may as well have said "I'm not invincible, Cows have udders".
Then it is a miscommunication on my part.
Without any evidence according to your claim. Except most schools block Minecraft.net meaning if somebody is playing Minecraft they are playing a cracked copy by definition.
On another thing I should say is that they give us laptops to take home, so that is how I got it.
My school don't mind unless it is less pirated

windoge 8 has the saddest excuse for a BSOD, it just tells you the type of error, no stop code, no nothing, just "something went wrong, all your unsaved work has now been lost to the void that is volatile memory"
Much in the same way if I enable SFU the Unix subsystem for Windows. Windows is suddenly Unix based right?
Let me re-word my last posts. The cmd was designed to look similar to MS-DOS as Linux was designed to look similar to Unix, and the whole "cmd is DOS" thing was taken out of context.

No it was not designed in that way.

You dug yourself in a hole, now you're trying to dig yourself out.
This is what version of Linux I'm familiar with though...
Every single computer was white or grey text on a black background in this time period (Or if you were a cool kid, black background with either green or yellowish text).
Saying "cmd is similar to DOS" and "linux is similar to unix" simply because they are x colored text on a y colored background makes no sense.

Windows =/= Windows NT
Then why can I run Quick Basic within the CMD, along with other games like Zork 1-3?
At least 86% of what I say is always correct.
They are two different things.
Are you also talking about a 32 bit or 64 bit version of windows?
Chances are if you're on 32 bit, you can run those programs even without using cmd.
Then it is a miscommunication on my part.
