I once heard that everyone in the world smiles and cries the same way – that language and culture had no effect on these.

I thought of that when I navigated to: http://www.computerworld.jp/topics/mws/180709.html

I have ABSOLUTELY no clue what they are saying but in the middle of the article I saw this:

【リスト11：WakeOnLan.ps1】
1 param($MacAddress) 
2 [byte[]] $MagicPacket = 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF
3 $MagicPacket += (($MacAddress.split('-') | foreach {[byte] 
('0x' + $_)}) * 16)
4 $UdpClient = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.UdpClient
5 $UdpClient.Connect(([System.Net.IPAddress]::Broadcast) ,9)
6 $UdpClient.Send($MagicPacket,$MagicPacket.length)

I guess everyone in the world scripts the same way too. 

Given that they are scripting in PowerShell, I bet they are also smiling!  🙂

Experiment!  Enjoy!  Engage!
