Ever seen code in a movie and wondered if it was legit or not? Well this guy set up a site where you can submit and pick through screenshots of code from lots of pop culture sources, some are quite amusing (as you might guess)

PLEASE tell me that "Swordfish" and "AntiTrust" are in there...  ;D

EDIT: yup, a few pages in and I found them both -- and by that time one thing really became clear, WOW tv/film producers are LAZY when it comes to where they pull source code from (often it is just JAVASCRIPT or else example Java/C code that does NOTHING related to what the scene requires... big shock...)

http://moviecode.tumblr.com/archive displays all the screengrabs on a single screen ... amazing how varied the look and feel is depending on the tone of the film or tv series!

and btw the code in one in Doctor Who ep appearing on a transparent screen with Matt Smith looking pensive ... it's backwards! Unless he's able to read backwards English ... possible, after all he speaks baby.
