Maybe 10 or 15 years ago I had a VAIO laptop that came with a cheesy 3D file browser. I can't find a link to it or screencap anywhere. Anyone remember this? Files were spun around like a tornado thing.

#12>Hacking involves mashing your keyboard until code appears, and hitting the return key where the line endings are, just like in real life.
heh

#13I used to goof around on this at the place I worked, which had an SGI Indigo II with it install.
Just goofed around with it, never actually "used" it in any meaningful way.

#14"It's a UNIX system. I know this."
"The linux build is currently broken"
oh, the irony.

#15I did 3 searches and all of them said 100% on all the gold nodes. Pick one randomly and lost the game. I don't get what I was supposed to do
You didn't say the magic word!

#16I have long thought that a "Hack The Gibson" game based on the 3D renderings in Hackers would be an entertaining concept but I lack some of the requisite skills and the time to make it happen.

This is the application http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fsn
I played with this too on a Personal Iris, and Indigo I owned back in the day. It was fun, but not very useful.

#20"Fun fact : the filenames you’ll see in the game are lifted from your hard drive, and 8.3ified for formatting and retro-chic reasons!" So in order to play the game it will scan my whole hard drive? In my point of view this is unacceptable. But i like the idea and the look of the game. Maybe i give it a shot in a VM environment...
It's not the first game to feature doing this and you certainly wouldn't play these kind of games without knowing that this is happening (since that's the main gimmick of these games) so you can't really complain about their behaviour when it's been made quite clear beforehand. But if you really wanted to play this game without it viewing your porn collection / whatever, then you can always manage it with ACLs, chroo…
It might have been nice if someone had pregenerated a list of files from, say, a fresh BSD installation, and then randomly chose locations to put target files, and had that as an option (rather than using your own data).
