... and some Titles.. Wamuti30-Mar-14 23:12 Wamuti 30-Mar-14 23:12  Source Code was one misleading title for such a movie . At least to a Software Dev.. Any other? Wamuti: Any man can be an island, but islands to need water around them! Edmund Burke: No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little. Other - Typing rate that would shame Mavis Beacon Keith Barrow30-Mar-14 22:53 Keith Barrow 30-Mar-14 22:53  This text takes far less than half a second to type in when done in a Hollywood blockbuster movie. PB 369,783 wrote: I just find him very unlikeable, and I think the way he looks like a prettier version of his Mum is very disturbing.[^] Other - Obvious errors Jarek Kruza30-Mar-14 22:02 Jarek Kruza 30-Mar-14 22:02  I hate obvious errors on screen. Like IP addresses with numbers >255 in NCIS (not really development but this is my favourite example). Re: Other - Obvious errors yacCarsten1-Apr-14 1:03 yacCarsten 1-Apr-14 1:03  I wonder if this is deliberate, like every phone number in movies is 555 . . . Re: Other - Obvious errors mikepwilson1-Apr-14 4:06 mikepwilson 1-Apr-14 4:06  I'll let that one go as a 555 issue. Could you imagine what would happen if they put a resolvable ip address on the screen? It would get destroyed. Re: Other - Obvious errors Jarek Kruza1-Apr-14 23:33 Jarek Kruza 1-Apr-14 23:33  RFC5737 specifies address ranges "for use solely in documentation and example source code". There is also bigger range for testing - 198.18.0.0/15. This would do no harm. And it is actually smarter than 555 because 555 is US-centric (for example 55 is a valid area code in Poland). Re: Other - Obvious errors mikepwilson2-Apr-14 3:40 mikepwilson 2-Apr-14 3:40  Well okay, sure. But how many producers do you think even know RFCs exist? Re: Other - Obvious errors Vivi Chellappa3-Apr-14 22:48 Vivi Chellappa 3-Apr-14 22:48  One phone number in the 555 exchange used to be valid until AT&T withdrew the service. 800-555-1212 was the number you called for long distance directory assistance. This should be multi-select poll Oshtri Deka30-Mar-14 21:49 Oshtri Deka 30-Mar-14 21:49  I've voted for cracking passwords in seconds, but also there are three or four choices which annoy me equally.

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions. All security systems can be cracked in under a minute. Usually by guessing a password.

Johnny J.30-Mar-14 20:48 Johnny J. 30-Mar-14 20:48  The fact that you can do anything with a computer, access any data in any system. All you have to do is to sit down at the keyboard and type commands at a command prompt with the speed of light (without EVER making a speeling mistake)??? Anything that is unrelated to elephants is irrelephant Anonymous ----- The problem with quotes on the internet is that you can never tell if they're genuine Winston Churchill, 1944 ----- I'd just like a chance to prove that money can't make me happy. Me, all the time I only wish it were this cool... NOT! Sander Rossel30-Mar-14 20:45 Sander Rossel 30-Mar-14 20:45  The good guys need some data stored on some bad guys computer. So they go in and hijack the computer like that can only be done in movies. Then the data comes up... Stored in what seem to be tiny blocks on screen. Copying a piece of data makes a block disappear or appear empty. Of course all the datablocks together create the logo of the bad guys company. Data depicted as tiny blocks? Come on...

But can't find it now.) EDIT: BTW I think this vote should have been multiple options. Everybody always know exactly what to do... AlexCode30-Mar-14 20:16 AlexCode 30-Mar-14 20:16  Some evil guy created some sort of system that needs to be cracked... The good guy arrives and starts typing like mad. Half a second after long lists of... whatever... start scrolling on the screen. Two Seconds after he's being prompt for some sort of security Another two seconds pass by (maybe 10 secs and a few head scratches tops!) he's in. Now here's when 3D rotating things without any meaning appear Still the guy keeps typing and manages to know exactly what to do, although in 99% of the cases he have never seen it before. To end it all, and if the objective is to get some data out, the most secured server has always an usb port or a freaking fast way to bump the whole system out.
