Guidelines for HOLLYWOOD OS!

[Paul Stamatiou]

here's a preview...

1. Any PERMISSION DENIED has an OVERRIDE function.

2. Complex calculations and loading of huge amounts of data will be
accomplished in under three seconds. In the movies, modems transmit
data at two gigabytes per second.

Tis so true

13. (From Jurassic Park) A custom system with millions of lines of code
controlling a multimillion dollar theme park can be operated by a 13 year
old who has seen a Unix system before. Seeing an operating system means you
know how to run any application on that system, even custom apps.
Note: What OS was it really running?
(1) "These are super computers". A CrayOS?
(2) "Quicktime movie, Apple logo, trash can." MacOS?
(3) "Reboot. System ready. C:\" DOS?
(4) "Hey, this is Unix. I know this" Unix?
The computers in Jurassic Park were Cray supercomputers running the MacOS
as a graphical shell of DOS all layered on top of a Unix base.

No, I'm pretty sure they were SGI computers running IRIX. You can even find copies of the 3D filesystem browser that was used.

So true

I love in the movie "hackers" how they were going over the specs of their super duper laptop and they mentioned the buzz words of pentium processor with a PCI bus!

And of course in some of the movies like Hackers the geeks run techno clubs and are considered the most cool people in the place and they still dress like geeks.

LOL, good stuff, and very true.
