Surely the best quote in any film has to be “I know this, it’s Unix”, as young 14 year old girl hacked her way into the systems managing Jurassic Park.
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

In my country we have this saying:
"Exception confirms principle".
Good for that she likes to program besides modeling.
But going to work you can be sure that most, if not all of IT staff, are men.

That was cool!
What was cooler was the hydra cubes when building the worm and deploying it. Or the instant map that shows the money jumping with curved lines that plot the path.
I just remember the bash commands flickering across the screen during the first interview hack.
I think the only real thing was that tape drive at the university.

I think only use for "tapes" are (1) Backup and (2) Sentimental reasons?!

I feel disgusted when they show a powerpoint slide with a large progress bar and text when the hacker transfers all the 100 millions dollars to his account.

Myth
Login prompts give you unlimited attempts.
Passwords can be hacked in minutes without hashtables or dictionary attacks.
Truth
The password is far too often the user's child's name, childhood pet, "password", or "secret".
You can actually launch nukes with the password 00000000[^] (sort of).

No.
I observed some whose saying aloud every line of code they write. Heck! Even the ';'! I think that's some kind of a ridiculous behavior.
Or maybe, I'm not just that geeky like those people I observed.
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

e.g. to hack into the Pentagon user types:
sudo rm -R /
RUNAS /USER:Administrator DEL /S /Q /*.*

They are not as big in real life.

I like how when they're working on a complex situation, (for instance: identifying & locating a culprit via video cams throughout the world and facial recognition databases that are located on any agency in the world; determining where the nuclear device will be targeted), they can solve it all with just five seconds of finger rattling on the keyboard.
Imagine what your customers are thing when you tell them it's going to take you a half-hour to fix a flaw in a crm program?

I agree...it does real damage to us when we can't live up to those ridiculous expectations that Hollywood creates.

In the movie Electric Dreams, the clueless user when presented with the connection message "How much memory?" (Old systems wanted you to allocate RAM) He types in "All of it" and his 1200 baud modem becomes an infinite baud modem and overheats.
I'll gloss over the part where he cools it with champagne and the information overload (on an Apple II-like clone) makes it sentient, because it is a fun movie (although it is more music video).

Don't see it much anymore, but remember when software could sharpen pictures from security cameras so that blurry licence plates could be read with such unbeleivable clarity.
