I assume you know this, but * is a wildcard, so that's where the all comes from. (copy c: *.jpg d: )will copy every file with the .jpg extension on your C drive to the D drive.

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks!
P.S. After 5 years and 500 posts I finally got the infamous 'pics' request I am very happy! It's >*

In Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 42 is the number from which all meaning ("the meaning of life, the universe, and everything") could be derived.

A BBC radio script based on Adams' book contains the following lines:

("Cave man" lays out following sentence in Scrabble stones: "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?")
Arthur: Six by nine? Forty-two? You know, I've always felt that there was something fundamentally wrong with the Universe.
(Faint and distant voice Base thirteen!

For the literal-minded and those unfamiliar with terms like "base thirteen," this is a number system in which the number 10 is equivalent to our more familiar decimal 13. A base-13 number 42, therefore, is the same as four 13s plus 2, or decimal 54. So "six by nine" (six times nine) or decimal 54 is, in base 13, 42. For the mystically inclined, 42 in base 13 is the same as 110110 in binary (base 2). This could mean almost anything, and many Adams fans have spent untold hours discovering all of the places where the number "42" pops up. For example, there are many mentions of the number in the Book of Revelation. Others have made a game of finding 42s, such as these:

* The angle at which light reflects off of water to create a rainbow is 42 degrees.
* Two physical constants in the universe are the speed of light and thediameter of a proton. It takes light 10 to the minus 42nd power seconds to cross the diameter of a proton.
* The sum of the ordinal alphabetic positions of the initials (SPG) for Stan (P.) Gibilisco, an oft-published science and technology writer, is equal to 42 (S=19, P=16, G=7).
* A barrel holds 42 gallons.

(It should be noted that all of these 42s are base 10, not base 13.)

As far as the "base 13" argument goes, I have quote from Douglas Adams himself to offer:

"The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do.' I typed it out. End of story."

I take it as an inarticulate expression of sexual attraction.

In retrospect I think this is what is happening:
There is a message post. If the user goes in to edit the post and is finished before the minute of the post time changes it resets the post time to the end of the minute. This allows anyone else who posted within that minute to appear before the person doing the editing - if that makes any sense at all

I disagree, Clair de Lune in the thread also snuck in between me, and I did not edit my posts. Also, this theory does not hold true on the instance where he quoted the person under him, both of whom did not edit their posts.

The only reasonable explanation is that Clair de Lune is secretly John Titor.

there are probably multiple servers doing load balancing, but the timestamps are getting messed up.

It means, "I have the attention span and deep intellectual capacity of a gerbil on speed", or, literally, "too long;didn't read."
