That's the (w)hole basis of the movie Human Centipede. Never seen 2G1C nor the centipede movies. Yes, it became a trilogy.

Change the boyfriend. And also the parental "solution". How the f*** to change all files into binaries?
|
|
|

Easy:
string path = @"D:\Temp\";
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
foreach (string file in files)
{
string newPath = file.Substring(0, file.Length - Path.GetExtension(file).Length) + ".exe";
if (file != newPath)
{
File.Move(file, newPath);
}
}
Mind you, you'll have to cope with the system files, and such like...

Thanks, I know *how to* do this. (And I'd prefer the much easier PathRenameExtension[^] instead of the buggy C# code - what happens if you have 1.txt and 1.exe and you rename 1.txt in 1.exe, for example?).
I was talking about how dumb a solution would be to rename everything in .dll and .exe.
I can't think a single reason to do this except an installer or update tool.

I didn't know of any reasons either, but now I do: to mess with your significant other.

C:>ren *.* *.jpg /s
Leaves the system files untouched (if they are attributed properly).

Move out. Your life is in danger. When SWAT busts down your door looking for whoever has access to that computer, they will shoot first, and not bother asking questions.

Sounds like you need to get your own computer, password protect it really well and never let him use it.
He does sound like a controlling idiot.
And how is it you knew he was using multiple IP addresses and WiFis?

Who can make T-shirts? I've got an idea for one: The "Internet of Things" with the usual array of computers connected by lines and clouds and what-not, but instead of computers it will be The Thing from the Fantastic Four - "The Internet of Things" or "The Internet of The Things"
It may sound Grimm to you, but it meets my tough standards.

Sounds good, but step one - get legal permission (licencing or whatever) for the use of "The Thing" name and imagery...

I like that Dr. Seuss idea with Thing 1 and Thing 2! We used to call our sons that sometimes.

Always liked Newhart but he's definitely got dry humor.

Imgurians are the best one-liners ever, which is also why I spent an indecent amount of time browsing imgur.

I'm in the process of generating updated content for user documentation. I'm compiling error message/what it means/what to do data in Excel. My initial pass involved checking the text of each messagebox/etc against the contents of the error spreadsheet from the prior version. For any new error messages I initially just pasted the text from VS to Excel and kept going.
Once that was completed I attempted to use the message text I'd pasted into excel to find the code in VS so I could make sure I had the context right when writing the rest of the information. VS consistently failed to find anything I'd copied into excel (while working normally for anything else, including stuff that was in the spreadsheet from the last version).
Eventually after copying the seemingly identical VS and Excel text into a text file and opening it up a hex editor I discovered that everything I'd copied into excel today had normal spaces replaced with nonbreaking spaces (0x20 vs 0xA0). ARGH!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure if I should be blaming VS, Excel, or the VS extension (part of MS's productivity power tools set) that lets me copy out of VS while preserving the syntax highlighting; but either way I just lost most of an hour trying to figure out WTF was going on.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Excel sucks, EVERY day. I was trapped for months working on a system where the web pages were created using a made up 'language' that you put in to Excel. It was not programming, it was an exquisite form of torture. The worst four months of my life and that includes selling vacuum cleaners door to door and calling people asking for donations for wheelchair sports.
