Don't blame the lack of cli tools on your chosen platform on the concept
of the cli. In unix-like systems this would be:
find A -size +1000k -exec mv \{\} B \;
or
mv `find A -size +1000k -print` B
This makes it obvious how you would get a list of such files that
you can use in other contexts too. How do you generate a list
of the files that matched your selections into a file or editor
buffer in a GUI? In vi, you might use :r !find A -size +1000k -print
to read the output of the command into the buffer where you
want it.

TMI was an example of the system doing PRECISELY what it was designed
to do....namely, to shut down if any readings went too far out of
tolerance.
Chernobyl has no bearing, as such a design would never be permitted
to be used in a free society...only totalitarian states would ever

I've got a Packard Bell Master CD from the same Win95a era which installs
itself and completely hides the MS Windows UI with a shell called Packard
Bell Navigator. It's a "house like" gui where you navigate your hard drive
like your walking through a house! You click on the "Library" and in there
are books, which you click on to open Encyclopedia ect... You click on the
Internet "room" and up pops several choices to get on the internet (online
services with their own browsers). The whole thing is rediculous as hell.
Unless the user goes to a specific "room" and clicks an icon they never see
the Windows interface at all.
OEM's suck. Build your own.

Perhaps if we strive to lessen our need for generated power then things will
improve. Research into more economical gasolines seems to be a good start.
But we have no real problem with our standard of living. I am sure we can
stand to eat at a few less fast food restraunts to preserve our enviroment
and its ecology.
