That doesn't make any sense at all.

My bad, I completely forgot about the existence of SunOS :)
And yeah instead of Linux I should have said unix system.

Thanks for clearing that up tho, I stand corrected.

They didn't call it Linux but SunOS yeah, but it was still linux from the way it looked and operated

were actually good and plausible or did I miss something?

The "login backdoor" part of Tron Legacy wasn't tho, but at least they did use linux and not some made up OS :)

He's talking about the Unreal Tournament 3 linux port that was going on for years. They even released screenshots but eventually canceled the project after years without having anything released.

However you should consider that both Postal 1 and Postal 2 (which ran on Unreal Tech) have been released with native linux support (client + server side), so have a little faith :)

Actually I wrote something similiar like this 2 years ago when I was still watching regular TV (as in Zapping through the channels).

Basically you pressed a button which triggers a script running on a nslu2 slug, which then gets a list of everything that is currently on TV (RSS Feed from the internet) and then filters it down based on some rules you specified.

First it tried to find TV Shows like Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad etc. if nothing was found it filtered the running movies by starting time (so you don't end up with a movie that almost over), and a number of genres (i.e. action/horror/drama) and imdb ratings (must be above 6.5) usually resulting in something I would be interested in watching.

Finally it switched the channel by sending an IR signal using an USB IR Transmitter.

I remember using things like this about 10 years ago on my pocket pc, where instead of entering a pin to unlock it, you would have to press specific points on a picture of your choice (in the correct order of course). So the concept isn't that new, I was actually quite fond of the idea back then.
