Savan Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I hate how they will take a photo, like from a traffic cam, or a satellite surveillance picture, and "enhance" like 20 times, and instead of the pixels being larger than the screen, the resolution magically gets better.

Rokkaholik Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I hate how they will take a photo, like from a traffic cam, or a satellite surveillance picture, and "enhance" like 20 times, and instead of the pixels being larger than the screen, the resolution magically gets better. Like in the 2nd National Treasure movie where Cage holds up that wooden thing in the car so the traffic cam can get a pic of it before he turns it over to the bad guys... And THEN hacks the traffic Cams central office, knows the exact number of that specific camera and can make out the pic perfectly on the screen...

I always go on a rant when I'm watching a movie that does something like that (which is quite a lot), people often say to me... "How do you know they can't do it?"... or "They're the government, how do you know they don't have some advanced technology?"... *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I'm always in awe of how easy it is to hack into the Pentagon's lan. Action star to geek: "I need you to hack into the Pentagon's computer right away!" Geek: "Righty-o, but that's going to take a while" Action star: "We don't have time, we need to get in right now" Geek: "I'll do what I can, but I can't promi... I'm in!" Apparently the security for one of the most sensitive systems in the world was designed by a high school kid on his summer vacation. And of course he left a "back door" so he could get back in.

Compxpert Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I like how in the Italian Job they just so easily hacked into those traffic lights to make them change abruptly and cause traffic jams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze_Badger Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Same can be applied to just about everything in movies tbh. Think of Commando, Arnold has a grenade go off two feet from him and he's just blown into a bush, then proceeds to fire a SAW machine gun from the hip with one hand.
