The pre-requisites made it clear only experienced UNIX admins should attend owing to the fast pace (and long days). Despite that, a consultant who only knew MS Windows signed up and slowed the class down with questions like “What does ls do?”.
<br>
<br>
Solaris had a command called “spray” where you could send noises to another workstation. Many of the attendees took turns doing “write”, “spray” and other commands to this guy’s workstation. If he looked at who he thought was the culprit someone else would
start doing it. It wasn’t very nice but it was funny.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:4.8pt">At ALE-NW yesterday, we were discussing some Computer-related movies<br>
because "The Net" was on TV at the time.<br>
<br>
A few came up:<br>
* Hackers (1995)<br>
* Tron (1982)<br>
* WarGames (1983)<br>
* Hacker (2016)<br>
* Her (2013) - set in the near-future<br>
* CitizenFour<br>
* Snowden<br>
* The Circle (2017)<br>
* Antitrust (2001)<br>
* The Pirates of Silicon Valley<br>
<br>
and that PBS documentary _The Triumph of the Nerds_ with an insider view<br>
from an early Apple employee<br>
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX5g0kidk3Y" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX5g0kidk3Y</a><br>
<br>
Hackers and WarGames are the worst in the list. The Net was terrible and<br>
so was the sequel. The last 3 are worth a watch if you haven't seen<br>
them. These are historical and current year movies.<br>
<br>
<br>
TV<br>
<br>
There have been many recent TV series about computing. Silicon Valley<br>
and Halt and Catch Fire come to mind. The IT Crowd and Chuck are always<br>
funny.<br>
<br>
Many are on APV or Netflix or Youtube (free).<br>
<br>
We avoided all the Hacking-centric shows. Mr. Robot S3 will be on<br>
Amazon Prime next month. S1 and S2 are there already. Real hackers<br>
validate that everything they claim on the show is possible, BTW.<br>
<br>
Antitrust and The Circle show how far fictitious companies are willing<br>
to go. I suspect they aren't far from reality at all.<br>
<br>
What movies in the same "computing startup" vein did we miss?<br>
