Complete Nonsense with Crash & Burn

A funny clip from the 1995 film Hackers, starring Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie.

Here, Kate and Dade exchange some techspeak before they make their bet; it happens to be complete and utter nonsense. Adding to the unintentional humor is the projected image from the monitor.

Great quote: "It's not just the chip it has a PCI bus..."
Wow, apparently a peripheral component interface bus can increase your computer's speed! And who could forget when RISC completely destroyed the x86 architecture back in the late 90's?

Good times indeed.

IT HAS A KILLER REFRESH RATE

Holy fuck, the screen is projecting itself on their faces.

bah, he was just sayin she had a PCI bus when ISA was still most common.

lol "hope you dont screw like you type" typing speed slows as he contemplates having sex with Angeline

@marlls1989 When listing RISCS, I forgot to say that PS3 and Xbox360 are in fact both Power architecture machines, with especialized slave SIMD RISC processors...

[marlls1989]

The Peripheral Bus does play a huge in the overall speed of a machine.

An increased IO latency locks processes for a longer time, reducing the throughtput, also Direct Memory Access, removes the IO overhead from the CPU.

While for the RISC: Most of the machines we have today are infact risc. All game consoles, mobile devices, smart phones use either ARM or MIPS. Both riscs architectures. All modern Intels (Pentium up) are infact internally RICS or VLIW embeded in a CISC shell.

most funny thing was when Jobs announced change to CISC architecture for their PC´s and servers i just broke my chair LOL

and windows 8 now going to RISC its so funny LOL what a genius Jobs was :-D

And yes Apple produce PC´s!!!! idiots :DD (some)

REDUCED Instructions Set dont mean its REDUCED in power, or abilities of any kind it just means it has less wide instruction set.

In 1995 i think company called Apple used RISC in their super awesome computers LOL Now in 2011 apple is fuc**n sh*t. RISC is in the every mobile phone on earth, on cca 95% tablets. and most awesome think about 2011 is that even BETA feature like CC transcript is doing better job than YOUR brain 355over113 EOL :DDD

@IMaDEM0N ARM processors and many others still use it. there is nothing chintzy or half assed about it. really its more a "design strategy" then an actual cpu but still ARM processors are in alot of modern devices. anyways i dont "know it all" my friend who does know alot referenced this quote last night and i wanted to investigate it. and after seeing your comment at the top i wanted to recant some of what i learned. anyways all my quotes are from the RISC wiki page

[IMaDEM0N]

@moldyspore it seems to me that you don't really understand any of it very much more...RISC didn't really *Change* anything, except RISC CPU's are chintzy & half-assed. RISC is short for Reduced Instructions Set & it's in reference to the Processor (or CPU aka; Central Processing Unit) & an Apple PowerBook I'd imagine did have a RISC CPU & It's the Alternative to CISC which is short for Complex Instructions Set an RISC CPU, For Example, is like an AMD K5 CPU & a CISC CPU, Intel Xeon's...

RISC arch is going to change the way you fuck...
