Here's hoping there will be a similar scene in the upcoming JP movie showcasing then hopes and dreams of 2015ish VR :)

#22Why would you 8.3-ify filenames when you're trying to emulate a Unix system? I don't think any Unix system has ever used 8.3 filenames.

#24If any of you are interested in games with a hacking theme, check out Uplink. It's an oldie but a goodie. There's some surprising tricks you can pull once you figure them out by yourself.

#26The hacking part brought an unexpected smile of glee to my face.

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).
Maybe, but what would you gain from that? You don't get paranoid traversing directory structures with bash, rsync, find, cmd.exe nor Windows Explorer. Nor do you complain about games that have file browser built in for loading and saving games (Eg OpenTTD).
These guys haven't been secretive about the nature of the game so it seems to me that the complaint here is strictly arbitrary.

#28"It's a UNIX system. I know this." "The linux build is currently broken" oh, the irony.
Well granted: Linux = L(inux) I(s) N(ot) U(ni)X
That is not actually where the name "Linux" comes from... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux#Naming
There is actually an OS I have used with a similar meaning name however: XINU ("Xinu Is Not Unix"): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinu

The most famous (and I believe he original) is GNU's Not Unix.

There's also XNU, the OS X kernel, which stands for "X is Not Unix", despite the fact that (unlike Linux) OS X has since been Unix certified!
