On the other hand, its 2013 not 1983. A lot more people today are at least casua...

Saying unrelated technical words could unwillingly make your movie a joke.

I think a progress indicator with figures calculated to the billionth pretty well secures joke status.

Not really, calculating and displaying that much doesn't take any more time to code, in fact it takes less.

It's "artistic license" in the original sense.

I bet they could increase the throughput if they modulated the plasma coils.

You mean like in "Swordfish"? Now that was a film that could be measured in facepalms per minute.

But that's what gives the movie everlasting value to us now! :)

Love watching the movie while drinking somewhat heavily with friends.

Well, that was 12 years ago so it wouldn't have appeared quite as ridiculous at the time, at least to non-tech culture.
