KDE on the NBC Show "Heroes"

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-isn't-that-nice-for-them dept.

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.

    Don't get me wrong... teleportation, flight, invulnerability, etc... all okay. But a hot girl using linux on the desktop? Yeah, right!

      As long as the girl, doesn't say "This is GNU/Linux. I KNOW GNU/Linux!" That would ruin the fantasy for me.

    The scene in question with the KDE stuff involves a hot chick getting naked online.

    And you notice the windowing system and applications on her laptop.

    Slashdot, you never cease to amaze me :)
