Top 10 Things Hollywood Thinks Computers Can Do

An anonymous reader writes "From blowing up your keyboards to developing a malignant sentience, Expert Reviews rounds up the things that movie makers believe computers can do, even though they use the same technology every day to write scripts." I like the summary of how you crack a password in movies. I hate that this page splits into multiple pages. Very lame.

    I call "a while" the 50 years that fuel injection has been around. 7-10 years = we aint' got the bugs out yet.

    From that other forums here http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?s=0c20bd72321b9c96c7a66c25b68b16a6&p=13958812#post13958812 clone53421? We're pretty sure it is you. You're not fooling anyone with your anonymous coward replies either. You had best hope that the other forums where you stalked APK to don't give up your IP address, because that will mean APK can go to your ISP and have you reported for definite online stalking across forums to forums also (and you replying as AC here http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1639038&cid=32085082 was not very intelligent either)

    Well, that about does it: You're admitting it was you stalking me from here to another forums then with that reply.

    First things first though: I will be reporting you to your ISP, and then, we'll see what happens from there.

    Pretty simple!

    (Keep talking clone53421 - you're only digging your own hole deeper and deeper as you go! I've done this before, and this is not a "big trick" to take care of, and to take care of you in the same motion also (Your source you used to libel me here earlier did the same thing in Jeremy Reimer alongside his pal Jay Little (both arstechnica people): They were caught email harassing me by their ISP's, had their websites removed for impersonating me, libelling me, and making death threats directed my way and more... you're just doing the SAME EXACT THING, and you're a fool for the doing of it is all... this is NOT new to me, I know how to take care of it, properly (been there, done that, before))

      Oh look, it's the troll that's been stalking Clone53421, Squiggleslash, and Tom Hudson.

      For those new to this, the troll is someone claiming to be a defender of a certain Alexander Peter Kowalski, the author of a tool, apkapp2backgrounddaemonprocessengine, generally considered malware by a large number of anti-malware companies and organizations.

      CA

      PestPatrol

      SpywareDB ("Dangerous!")

      Freedom Anti-Spyware

      Spycheck (Spanish-language) - "Recomendacion: DESACTIVAR Y ELIMINAR"

      Spyware No-More ("Threat risk: High risk", "Advice: Remove This is a very high risk threat and should be removed immediately as to prevent harm to your computer and / or to protect your privacy")

      Mr Kowalski, or his admirer, got upset because someone had the audacity to link to a threat describing Kowalski's attempts to remove some embarrassing comments posted under his name. Rather than deal with it maturely, this person has been attempting to stalk said poster and those who pointed out Kowalski wasn't doing himself any favors.

      So if you see these comments posted as replies to clone, squiggleslash, or Tom, now you know why they're appearing. And if you feel like joining in, making it clear to Mr Kowalski that spamming, sliming, and stalking are unacceptable, well, come on in, the water's lovely!

    Sir Talk a Lot (but does nothing of any significance in computer science) sure does talk a lot, but he oddly goes silent whenever you ask him to show us his CSC or CIS degree now, doesn't he? Worse yet are his standard double-talk evasions when you ask him to show proof of his ever creating any software that anyone has ever rated well in respected publications around the field of computing. Sir Talk a lot: Do you have your CSC or CIS degree, and do you have any proof of these so-called programs you SAY you have written? No, and no. Keep talking "Sir Talk A Lot", lol, because watching you "dance" is hilarious.
