Comments on: What code DOESN’T do in real life (that it does in the movies) http://michael.chanceyjr.com/funny-articles/what-code-doesnt-do-in-real-life-that-it-does-in-the-movies/ Fri, 20 May 2011 03:29:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Michael E.

In any event its just a random poll, maybe millions will see it or maybe just 20. I myself tend to answer random little polls as long as they require nothing more then a couple clicks to process. As for how many people having coding background, no idea and even if they all had "background" take that with a grain of salt. I interview people quite frequently that can't code their way out of a paper bag and yet they have "5+ years experience" written all over their Resume.

The virus in Indeendence Day was specifically not multi-platform. It was stated or at least implied that the technology behind Apple was one of the featurs the technicians had been able to extract from the alien sp<ce ship that had crashed years ago. So, despite the seeming disparity, the Apple laptop and the computer on the alien mothership could aguably be based on the same (or at least vastly similar) basis - which makes in possible that the hack works. With all the technobabble and handwavium in the movie, this one was rathr well thought out,. I thought. Full ACK with one minor caveat.
