All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Holywood repeats itself. One of the Terminator films has sequences with 6502 assembly code.

Edit: found a link to a still from the film.

We should have a competition for "Movie OSs". Of course, it could be a full-screen application running on an existing OS. However, a real one (read: a bootable application) would be a lot cooler. We could sell it to Hollywood...

There could be really fancy tongue-in-cheek features only technical people will understand. Assembly listings, like the examples given here, could be something that make sense and not just stuff randomly ripped from manuals.
