This site started out as a silent outcry to television related misuse of code.
Here be examples:
From a motion picture abusing the ability of USB sticks (“The Recruit”):
The Recruit
From my all-time favorite TV show “24”:
24, Season 4, Episode 7
24, Season 4, Episode 7
WTF, people?
Why is it that these kind of productions have a budget reaching a gazillion dollars and yet, there are no advisors to actual IT stuff? Even the caterers are mentioned in the credits. There’s military advisors which get credit.
Start asking programmers: is this code cool? Or is it crap?
Plus the UI. Why the hell does every interaction with something have to emit a beep?! I’d personally go nucking futs if my OS would honor each an every action I took with playing a useless wave file…
Well, I know what you mean. I laughed about this often enough. Beep. Beep. Beep. WOAAA!!! How can the concentrate on terrorists?
It really looks cool, nice GUI and perfect Beeptiming. But not usefull for more than a showcase g
TV is just great. Lets wait for SESSION 9 (will never be there? 🙁 ) or the great 24 movie. Hope it will not suck like Redemption…
Kind regards
