To use them in a shell, you have to first invoke cmd. cmd /c "mklink C:\\bar" which becomes: winrs -r:foo "cmd /c "c:\\bar"" Wed, 20 Jul 2011 20:09:45 +0000 http://blog.netnerds.net/2008/01/winrs-microsofts-disappointing-answer-to-ssh-for-remote-administration/#IDComment175625682 http://blog.brightkite.com/2009/10/06/its-here-brightkite-2-0/#IDComment37867782 This isn't a bug by any stretch of the definition. It is a design flaw. BrightKite changed the privacy model drastically and did not take the time and effort to properly reconcile the systems before going live. It's a mistake that will cost them a LOT of users, and a lot of the trust so many of us have put in them, but I'm glad they've put a tourniquet on the problem and hope they can resolve the issue, even if it takes a little time. The number one thing I enjoyed about BK was the ability to share my message or photo with the world and use the privacy settings to control how accurate of a location the viewer could see. That was beautiful, genius even. Now I have to share exact location or no message at all? To me (and to many others) the location was more important privacy-wise than the content of the message, and the new BK does not reflect this at all. I'm disappointed.
