I love this, it reminded me of Crime Cops [1]. The best part is that actual screenwriters might come across this while searching for tech dialog and not realise it's satire. Then again, it wouldn't be much different from the stuff Hollywood currently uses. [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF_qQYrCcns http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF_qQYrCcns

This has been done on the scale of entire mathematics and CS papers: http://thatsmathematics.com/mathgen/ http://thatsmathematics.com/mathgen/ http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/ http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/ Indeed, the creators of SCIgen have amused themselves by presenting randomly generated papers at conferences.

"The SSL alarm is down, back up the redundant firewall so we can override the EXE bus!" Nonsense. but the idea of SSL alarms would be good.
