I’ve been searching for a while for cool terminal stuff.

I think you can try:

curl dict://dict.org/d:(word you want)
no brackets, of course. I think it gives a dictionary definition.

I think it gives you the list for the emacs thing when you put this:
ls /usr/share/emacs/22.1/lisp/play

I believe that the Mac OS X commands “say” and “doctor” will not always work on other Unix-like systems.

The same goes for the Emacs tip–but Emacs is far more likely to be available on most other Unix-based systems anyway.

Note that this works perfectly well in Windows as well.

Go into DOS (WindowsKey+R – Type “cmd”) and just write the telnet link.
