James Bond fails the tech test in Skyfall
- Double0Seven 14y agoThe server room scene could of been silent if the hardware was using fan-less chip-sets. There are some silent data-centers that use no fans. The only noise would be high-frequency electrical hum. So, for a "future" concept, it works. As far as the Fancy Graphics, its exactly where hacking is going. Metasploit Framework has an interested graphical interface program called Armitage which reproduces the command-line format into graphical imagery. Considering where the "future" is heading, most of the command-line will be shifted towards a hybrid approach of scripts run via graphical interfaces with CLI tucked in neatly. The movie failed hard but, did have "proof of concept" pseudo-foreshadowing.

- dalke 14y agoBond film tech is supposed to be slightly better than what we have. In the 1963 "From Russia with Love", Bond had a car phone. In Moonraker, Drax has a hidden space station. In "Die Another Day", the fight scene use robots with lasers that are powerful enough to sear steel and drill a hole through a head - in a fraction of a second. I'm with Double0Seven in saying that the the server uses fan-less machines.
