I would use a tool specially designed for that narrow specialist task.

It sounds like it requires visual-hand-eye coordination. So the answer is: I would have to do it by hand, using the computer as a mere tool, not an autonomous enbreasty.

If there were a tool "touchup" that were capable of it I would run

while (notsatisfactory picture); do touchup -removeredeye picture; done

Is there one?

No, no limit. That's the point.

Good - programming is telling smebody what to do.

Well, it's likely that there was an optical reader.

Exactly so.

Many I time I reshuffled. Line numbers were invented for that.

Exactly - unless you want to do it yourself, you have to tell somebody else what to do. Programming is telling somebody else what to do.

I would hope so - if you have to take your time to do it, why do it?

No, programming is like having a conversation. The gui doesn't respond.

No - it's programming that is "speech". Using a gui you can't communicate at all, you have to do it all yourself. That's why yu need all that visual feedback. If you don't have strong linguistic skills, you might be limited to visual nonabstract inputs, but I understand (and speak) concepts and complex constructs just fine. I don't need to grunt and point.

Now find me all the files on ten computers that do not have the same hash (md5sum) as at least one of the corresponding files on one of the others, and replace them with the majority vote winner. Also, if a file is missing on the minority of the computers, install it. If it is missing on a majority, remove it.
