      I actually use #6 in that list ,,,,,,,but also pipe it through lolcat like "fortune -o | cowsay -f tux | lolcat" ,,,,,,I have this line in the end of my .bashrc so whenever I open a terminal it displays a offensive fortune (-o) being "said" by tux (-f tux) in rainbow colours (lolcat) .

      the cmatrix and the aptitude ones were the only ones I did not know about ,,,,,,,,and cmatrix is a nice one ,

        I really enjoyed cmatrix too!

        Now for a game of "Linux chicken"... go into a public place, run cmatrix -Bs and see how long you last!

            I mean that public understanding of computers is so bad that someone is likely to run screaming about "hacking", and you're likely to find yourself answering some awkward questions!

            Kind of like Steve's "cat the Linux kernel source in a public place" game

              And there's Hollywood
              If you're sitting wondering,
              Which Batman is the best,
              There's only one true answer my friend,
              It's Adam Bloody West!

                    BTW, Mr Robot is the most realistic representation of hacking on a film/TV series I've ever seen.

                    Everything is quite plausible (apart from the timescales)... until this happens:

                    So I see you're running GNOME... You know, I'm actually on KDE myself, I know this desktop environment [gnome] is supposed to be better, but, you know what they say, old habits, they die hard.
                    ...should have done just a little bit more homework!

                      No idea but I bet you get arrested running it at say... Heathrow

                      From the trailers it looks extremely good but I kind of like my TV hacking to be like NCIS; funny.

                        Some things on CSI:Cyber are plausible. Others make me laugh
