prisonbreak hacking

why the fuck does all tv/film these days pull the fucking hacker card

its not fresh, its not interesting, and worst of all it is insulting to practically ever section of your audience, as to the computer illiterate are getting patronised, and the educated viewers are getting insulted


To be fair, Prison Break and Veronica Mars both included some actual php/sql functions, as opposed to things like CSI New York and it's gooey interfaces

Still think its entirely unnecessary and is never executed properly... I mean a phone that "sucks" static data from hard memory devices... I mean... come on? It'd be like having a phone that you can put next to somebodies cup of tea, and steal their tea. It's just too far ;_;

do* or does every* tv show*
incorrect sir, tv/film being a collective (another random perk of the English language)

Didn't know that, it just felt weird! :D

OH NOES WHAT WILL WE DO, I WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO FUNCTION.
Agree

I still watch that CSI clip over and over just for sheer amusement.
There was a post on binrev a while back with a list of films/tv shows on hacking (some worthwhile documentaries) but you could easily point out some amusing scenes from some though :)
When will they learn that you can never beat the Gibson :(

just enjoy the tv show and shut up cos no one gives a fuck about your complaints
do people have to give a fuck for me to be able to rant about something? no, moran

and I am kinda enjoying it... except... the PHONE THAT CAN SUCK DATA FROM ANYTHING

would you let something you love be destroyed? No, you complain about it, thats how shit works... when Red Dwarf season 7 started, did everyone sit back and say "oh well, its nowhere near as funny now but I can still enjoy it, no complaints from me" no, thats not what happened, the BBC instead got a shitton of whine
Parent
WHAT ABOUT YOUR SHIT ANIMES, A GUY FARTS FIRE BALLS, WOW THAT DOESNT PULL OFF REALITY IN FICTION AT ALL
Parent
farting fireballs? what the fuck?

Also, last time I checked, a series which is about galaxy sized Guren fighting each other is hardly trying to be reality in fiction (and well, they at least have the "but its not our universe" argument to fall back on in order to explain stuff, prison break has none of that)
Parent
it doesnt matter
you don't have to watch prison break if you don't like it.
Parent
How can you compare this with anime though? :_D
Parent
lol, was kinda thinking exactly the same ....
Parent
please, as a new-born programmer you should understand that stupidity should not rule the world!!!
Parent
it's only a tv show!
they could also write "belgians are smart" and i wouldnt give a fuck!
Parent
i don't give a fuck either, it was sarcasm, note the multiple exclamationmarks!!!
Parent
wat? I've programed alot but I did not understand this :o
You need to know some out of this world shit to be like that CSI chick though!!!!!11
Parent
or you just show your ass np!!!!!11onelevenstuffZ
Parent
GUI, gooey
Parent
do not recognize :<

what the hack are you talking about..
Actual dialog from 24 (season 4):

- I think someone's positioning code for a major internet attack. The thing is, not all the code remarks are in English.
- What laguage were they in?
- I don't know, looked middle eastern. Like Arabic or Turkish maybe.

The "code" they had seen:

Indeed it looks like Turkish. :)
Oh god 24 lol, Not even sure why I'm still watching


season 7 is going to be so bullshit with that firewall malarky... yeah... genius idea, lets have one computer system setup to control all domestic services in the US
Parent
it was encrypted, though he couldn't read it in any way

24 > all
Parent
It's a fucking tv-series -.-
OH OH OH! I FUCKING GOT IT NOW, YAY, I'M JUST 25% MENTALY RETARDED :D
who cares, the "dumb" people need to think they actualy do it.

and it wasn't a phone which stole the date but some random plastic thingy.

you shouldl watch sci-fi movies and then start complaining!
ive seen all ten series of SG1 and i didnt feel like complaining once, just because the bullshit they pull off isn't trying to take itself seriously :D
Parent
WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK.

dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnn
its called TV fuckface
They fail at trying to make the show look interesting though :(
But I guess it keeps the norms happy eh?
Parent
//theres only 1 matrix :PP
I wondered about that too :)

also, the //if we ..... a message we don't need this form again.
Parent
serious bullshit
WHO THE FUCK CARES? IT'S A TV SHOW!

OMG NERD
Don't feel insulted, just point and laugh.
this is like the nerdiest journal i think i have ever seen! you sir , are in need of help. im going to compare you to the likes of "the trekkies" that sit and pick apart episodes due to them not being 100% trek-korrect. i watched braveheart the other night, im sure some historian of immense no-lifeness could and probably has sat and picked that film apart for a battle not being 100% true to life. come on, look at what youre watching for fucks sake, its a tv show, its escapism, and youre over-encorporating it into your life....

treat it as it is, an hour of totally unbelievable entertainment. and as for 24, like 1 guy could be that unlucky to have 7 FULL 24 hour days of that calibre, but i still watch it, cos i like it and its entertaining!

the lines between reality and make believe are joining again meez, get out more....
you seem to misunderstand me

its only if a show tries to take itself seriously and then does something like this :\

it doesnt NEED to be there, it doesnt even make good tv, it even goes against the feel of prison break... sitting around waiting for progress bars to fill... they've used that plot device multiple times already and we're in the 3rd episode, all I'm saying is they don't need to milk the shit out of it :\
Parent
meez u need a gf. films/tv shows arent supposed to be real. nothing on TV that has ever come on television in history has ever been real. everything is manipulated. even the news is manipulated.

transformers. o cmon why isnt my car transforming . the film said it would :(. afk crying. gtfo nerd
Parent
nothing on TV that has ever come on television in history has ever been real.


loooooool
Parent
name me something that is 100 % real then? o tahts right u cant
Parent
There are plenty of shows on TV that are 100% real.
Stop watching ITV and you'll know :{
Parent
THE NEWS? MANIPULATED? But that can't be? The government told me it isn't :(
Parent
plz, i watched the first two episodes but the "data sucking mobile" is just plain stupid. Thank god it doesnt really affect the show that much, just stealing away the reality it used to have + I hate the hacker guy already :)
Parent
MEEZ. YOU ARE THE NERDEST PPL I HAVE EVER SEEN
he's also included on encyclopedia dramatica now!
Parent
the hacker @ transformers was much better!!1
I have no idea what the fuck you are on about. But you sure are one big geek

;DDDD
now that i read this journal, i understand what you meant on IRC, didn't notice it before. if you didn't bother zooming into the laptop, you would never know something stupid is written there, stop caring that much :P
this is not just with hacking though, its with everything. anything anyone knows anything about and is shown on TV/Film generally could pick huge canyon sized holes out of it.
everything in prison break is fake . why ucare about that? thers more extreme things in prison break
LOLOL I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT HACK LOLOL

THATS BASIC PHP SHIT

=oooooo
someoe get this kid a life . stat
Parent
my new phone is going to steal your tea
