On the other hand, its 2013 not 1983. A lot more people today are at least casually familiar with code. Saying unrelated technical words could unwillingly make your movie a joke.
- yock 14y agoSaying unrelated technical words could unwillingly make your movie a joke. I think a progress indicator with figures calculated to the billionth pretty well secures joke status.
- nonamegiven 14y agoIt's "artistic license" in the original sense.
- IanCal 14y agoNot really, calculating and displaying that much doesn't take any more time to code, in fact it takes less.

- rasur 14y agoYou mean like in "Swordfish"? Now that was a film that could be measured in facepalms per minute.
- consz 14y agoWell, that was 12 years ago so it wouldn't have appeared quite as ridiculous at the time, at least to non-tech culture.
- hkmurakami 14y agoBut that's what gives the movie everlasting value to us now! :) Love watching the movie while drinking somewhat heavily with friends.
