KDE on the NBC Show "Heroes"
Vesuv writes "The pilot episode of NBC's flagship drama for the 2006 fall season proudly features a laptop showing a KDE desktop and KDE applications such as Kopete and KMix running on Mandriva Linux. " The show itself looks to have potential for essentially an x-men knockoff. I mean, it ain't written by Sorkin (all hail jesus) so I'll give it a few more episodes to decide if all the angst is gonna kill me or not.
Except that the premise is that the superpowers are the result of Human evolution, which is the basic premise of the X-Men. You also see similar story lines like the cheerleader doesn't want people to know she's a "freak." The Indian guy is not using Cerebro to find these guys, but you get the impression that he will find them.
My other sig is extremely clever...
TV has sunk to a new level with this show. I mean who likes to see a poor Japanese guy trying to poo in his pants every 5 minutes and instead ending up half way across the world?
the laptop is a dead paper weight because it's uses a POS OS that 99.9% people do not use.
Linux sucks. It is an underground OS that is completely unstandardized. Linux geeks, get the fuck over yourselves.
this is more a direct rip off of the 4400 show.

Congratulations, KDE! Though you have yet to catch up to Mac, which appears in every friggin' movie and TV show, we'll throw you a bone now and then.
