A more realistic tech-movie...

And please don't forget the beeps ands chirps the computer *must* emit while performing the enhancement routine ;)
That's why the TI-99/4 made those noises, otherwise the buying public would not think it was a real computer. :omg: On a side note about the TI-99/4, I heard the slow display rate was because an exec thought that people couldn't read faster than 1200 baud. :doh:

Sounds like Windows Vista!

Tron. I just saw Tron Legacy and the movie was pretty realistic compared to other big time computer hacker movies... I mean, if we leave out the details it's basically about a guy who starts writing some code that looks really good and amazing. After a while the code grows and becomes more and more unmanagable, some code even starts to lead it's own life! It's giving him quite some headaches and sleepless nights. In the end the best thing he can do is de-install the entire thing. I think we've all been down that road! Despite the fact that I could really relate to the movie it wasn't the best movie I've ever seen. Not very bad either though. It was okay.
It's an OO world.

}The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Some of the computer responses are a bit faster than expected in real life. But, there's real SQL in there if one looks at the computer screens closely. Some of the code is off a little bit (seems to be a merge of MySql, SQL Server and Oracle), but at least it's a lot closer than "This is UNIX. I know this!"

My anger with Vista added to my liking of Ubuntu; and it became a permanent OS on my machine.

What is all this "Vista is evil" brouhaha? I was a user of XP. Installed Vista - no problem (except for slow single file copies). Vista SP1 better. Win7 better still. Did people just believe the Apple advertising BS? Were people concerned by MS decision to use all available memory at any time to improve performance so that it seemed (to untutored users) that it was a resource hog? Somebody tell me. What WAS the problem?

With time, Windows Vista starts getting slow, some configurations stop making effect and even some drivers stop without a proper reason, even without internet connection (so the drivers can't update...)
I'm brazilian and english (well, human languages in general) aren't my best skill, so, sorry by my english. (if you want we can speak in C# or VB.Net =p)

My code never turns out like this: http://www.filmofilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/tron_legacy_photo1.jpg[^] Neither do most Disney movies.
Now, that's some elegant code, right there!

}The funniest thing I've ever noticed is that the Asgard from Stargate (Super intelligent future-race) had random HTML splay over their monitors in a few of the episodes in the backgrounds (Normally it's just some random CSS stuff) - I guess raw HTML just looks futuristic to n00bs - But hey - At least it's REAL HTML :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
