Hacker Typer - now you can type like a hacker in movies
- vshlos 16y agodoes anyone want to make this into a screen saver? Would be pretty cool.
- elliottcarlson 16y agohttp://www.noisybox.net/computers/text_term/ http://www.noisybox.net/computers/text_term/ Allows you to use text files as the source, so adding in any source code would be easy.
- vshlos 16y agolast updated in 2001. Does it even still work on 64 bit win 7?
- elliottcarlson 16y agoWorks for me in 64 win7 Another good one that I have tested is http://phosphor2.googlecode.com/ http://phosphor2.googlecode.com/
- vshlos 16y agoThanks! I used phosphor2 and got the Linux kernel source to feed it.. Really nerdy, but a cool screen saver..
- jason_slack 16y agoAh The movie Swordfish!
- BCM43 16y agoThis actually looks pretty similar to what I already use.
- forcer 16y agothis is hilarious :) When you put it on fullscreen in the browser you could do some serious acting :)
- MikeW 16y agoNice easter egg when you tap alt 3 times.
- elliottcarlson 16y agoShould have X amount of ACCESS DENIED's before granting you access... and instead of source there should be a honeypot log being replayed... Time to get to work...
- cisco_nolove 16y agoOh Holy father in Heaven,please save HN from such noise and mess. Amen.
- drKarl 16y agoFunny, but I had to use it on Firefox because in Chrome I have the Vimium extension...
- gulbrandr 16y ago"DB Error, overload!!!! Crap, system crashed :/" Does not work. Site very slow. Will try later.
- bmohlenhoff 16y agoSomeone must have hacked their Gibson.
- orenmazor 16y agoI actually bookmarked it under "Hack The Gibson"
- jason_slack 16y agoJust gotta get me one of those Gibson's baby........hack some heavy metal!
- nkassis 16y ago"Can you jam the console with cowboys in cyberspace?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7tazcxWUwk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7tazcxWUwk
- tuhin 16y agoIs there a way for the Hacker News effect like we have Fireballed? Hackend? hacked seems miscommunication!
- TamDenholm 16y agoI've always wondered if this is the kind of things real programmers make for actors so they look like hackers in movies.
- dazzawazza 16y agoI friend of mine made some Macromedia Director interfaces for the Bond movies in the 90's. The more ridiculous he made it the more the director loved it. He was required on set to teach the actors what to do and to make last minute changes due to bugs/script changes. He said it was quite boring but very well paid.
- wh-uws 16y agoI have been looking for how they make those ridiculous user interfaces in movies forever Thank you!
- docmarionum1 16y agoHigh typing speeds (9001, for example) seem to cause problems.

- keyle 16y agoCrap. How come it didn't dupe? because I have urlwith/ ? Sorry.
- beaumartinez 16y agoCompletely different URL.
- tga 16y agoNot even movie hackers type code in a variable-width font! I think you want to also reference that home.css on the hacking page..
- lewispb 16y agoRight click the console text in Chrome and click Inspect Element. Right click <div id="console"> and click Add attribute. Paste the following: style="font-family: monospace"
- pflats 16y agoAlong this line, I've always loved Nullsoft's "beep" program. It makes your (windows) computer sound like it's right out of a 70s movie. http://www.1014.org/code/nullsoft/nbeep/ http://www.1014.org/code/nullsoft/nbeep/ It does get annoying, obviously.
- tomelders 16y agoWhere are all the "bleeps" and "blooops" and "bididlybidilybidily" noises?
- ultrasaurus 16y agoAnd syntax highlighting (I'm so tempted to fork this)
- codejoust 16y agoHere's my fork, the site will be on github shortly: http://codetyper.tk/ http://codetyper.tk/
- tomelders 16y agoStill no bidillybidilly boop noises though, and I don't look like a real hacker when I make those noises myself.
- codejoust 16y agoIf you want to add them: https://github.com/codejoust/codetyper https://github.com/codejoust/codetyper I just haven't had time since I wrote it. (easter eggs: tab key + pressing enter twice).
- codejoust 16y agoWell - I've added those noises. The flash can use a ton of work, but it's there. (and an obligatory startup sound).
- tomelders 16y agoNOW I can look like a proper monther funking hacker. I'm so happy I could poop.
- lwhi 16y agoI think it needs to spend some time editing - cutting, pasting / deleting / correcting typos. Surely even the best hackers sometimes make typos?
