Re: (clug-talk) Semi-OT - Linux In The Movies

[nathan wainwright]

actually it was a big bugdet hollywood flick, release in theatre, soundtrack... whole nine yards...

but like most of the 'techo/hacker' flicks, never really made it anywhere, except harsh ridicule.

/shrugs/

i still enjoy 'hackers'

probably would enjoy this one too

Was watching a made for TV movie tonight on TBS.  It's called
      

Antitrust (Tim
    

Robbins & Ryan Phillipe)...basically a geek flick meets
      

suspense mystery.
    

Have only caught little bits and burps of it, but I swear that I saw the
Gnome interface in one scene.  Ryan's character was in a
      

high-tech daycare
    

using there computers to break into the main systems.  The cli
      

text looked
    

like *nix commands but the "start button" looked like the Gnome
      

foot.  Maybe
    

I am on crack or maybe to much chocolate...but I swear!
      

other than the part about made for TV, you're right.  Linux is used in
this show.  I think Miguel de Icaza consulted for this movie.
