Yes it was
at the time I thought it was brilliant, one of the best ones ever.

It still has moments.
I liked Borris and you can't go far wrong with a tank chase, but you're right it has aged badly.

Its the IT cringe part of these films
Just like any medical professionals cringe at ER, Casualty, etc. Teachers at Waterloo Road.

It's not even close to being the most unreasonable thing Hollywood
has depicted computers doing. Not by a long way.

Ever seen 'The Net', with Sandy Bollocks?
That is horrific.

I saw "The Proposal" she is naked in it, though you can't see anything rude.
She's still pretty tidy for an older bird.

She has cracking pins.

I'd do 2 years for that.

Hackers is the worst.
Hacking GUI depicting a computerised cityscape through which he navigates due to typing really, really fast.

Aren't there breasts in that film though?

I have but cannot remember anything about it!

There's one part where the antagonist is on his laptop, sat in his car, looking at her police record
And clicks on a nicely placed 'EDIT' button, before making her a wanted criminal.

Die Hard 4 is pretty poor on the hacking front, too.
In that film you can control an entire city, it's gas supply and the nation's media through typing really, really fast.

Hmm, the building across the road from me just blew up.
Ahh, you missed a decimal point.

I like this.

Oh man, there isn't an edit button next to your post

Is there really a button that comes up saying "Send Spike"?
I know vjay-jay about computers but suspect not.

I'm suspecting not either
Quoting Jurassic Park "I know this, it's Unix"

*CRINGE*
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 26 Sep 2011, 12:55, Reply)

I don't get it.
Why would they know Unix?
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Mon 26 Sep 2011, 12:59, Reply)

All 7 year old kids learn the variant of Unix
where the screen flies along as though it were an aircraft flight simulator, didn't you know this?

It differs from all other Unix systems who are command line based via telnet style windows only

I recognise some of the words in your post.
That's as far as it goes.

I can't even attach a link in here.

And do you know what, I'm fucking glad.

Nicely done.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Mon 26 Sep 2011, 13:05, Reply)

There's no specific button
you just have to type really, really fast and the hacking more or less takes care of itself.
( Kroney, Mon 26 Sep 2011, 12:56, Reply)

Additionally, your monitor brightness needs to be so high
you can read all the commands you are typing in the reflected glow on your face
