People in show biz (no, we’re not talking about Microsoft here) just don’t know computers.
Here are some oft-noticed bloopers to keep an eye out for:
1. You never have to use the spacebar when typing long sentences.
2. You can gain access to any information you want by simply typing Access All Secret Files on any keyboard.
3. Likewise, you can infect a computer with a destructive virus by simply typing Upload Virus
(see Independence Day).
4.All computers are connected. You can access the information on the villain’s desktop computer even if it’s turned off.
5.Powerful computers beep whenever you press a key or whenever the screen changes.
The really advanced ones also emulate the sound of a dot-matrix printer.
All computer panels have thousands of volts and flash pots just underneath the surface.
Malfunctions are indicated by a bright flash, a puff of smoke, a shower of sparks, and
an explosion that forces you backwards.
People typing away on a computer will turn it off without saving the data.
A hacker can get into the most sensitive computer in the world before the intermission and guess
the secret password in two tries.
Any Permission Denied message has an Override function (see Demolition Man and countless others).
No matter what kind of computer disk it is, it’ll be readable by any system you put it into.
All application software is usable by all computer platforms.
Laptops, for some strange reason, always seem to have amazing real-time videophone
capabilities and the performance of a Cray supercomputer.
