Ubuntu in a Marvel Comic

“Normally this isn’t the point where you have to authorize in Ubuntu, and you could just use recovery mode to go to a root shell, but hey, it’s free software so they could have just modfied it to act like this.”

Uhh.. it’s a drawing. They could make Tux walk out of the screen if they wanted.

Yea, you think they would have gotten the technical parts right, since they know what grub looks like… but oh well, it’s better than nothing!

… Very good eye by the way.

I think the point on the comic books isn’t all about Ubuntu. HEYyyyy guyz come’on !!!! We all use GNU/Linux with some Ubuntu logos.

Let’s not make a distro war over here.

Ah, by the way, I am typing from a KUBUNTU 6.06(LTS).

Hahaha, I guess the illustrator was just taking the screenshot from the internet or somewhere and just put it in 😛

One of the main reason why linux and all of it’s distros keep failing all the time with the general public is because geeks and nerds like you think all the people in the world think like you, and thus know all about this or that distro.

Wake up: they don’t!

The artist probably made a drawing of some command line interface because it looks nerdy and complicated (or because drawing a graphical interface like windows or mac took too much time). It might even be a manipulated screenshot. I truely believe it doesn’t matter to him whether he chose ubuntu or ms-dos or some other interface… (assuming that he knows the difference between both ms-dos and ubuntu, which is just a small chance, since the majority of mankind doesn’t). Anyway: it doesn’t matter which one is included for the storyline (remember: it is a *comic*, not a visualised ubuntu manual). the only thing that matters is that there is some computer, that it is hacked and that access is denied.

Just be happy that some artist included some ubuntu-like stuff in his comic. Don’t start a geek discussion over what he /should/ have done or which precise distro it /might/ have been. Instead: try getting yourselves a life or so, and try to think like a common man using a computer, instead of being arrogant by claiming some people shouldn’t be allowed to communicate…

Again, it’s a DRAWING, not a screenshot. And if they DON’T know what it is, maybe they shouldn’t put it onscreen. Maybe they should take the two seconds to ask somebody what it means or make something up that makes sense. You don’t have to be a geek to at least ask somebody in tech if it makes sense. It’s called continuity checking, and it’s a pretty big part of writing stories. It has nothing to do with whether you’re a geek or not.

um, in the third row of screenshots you can see the words ‘ubuntu’ and ‘..untu’ so I’d say it’s ubuntu…

agrees with Charles Churchill. Retards. They’re everywhere.

hm… informative

“The artist probably made a drawing of some command line interface because it looks nerdy and complicated”

I think you meant to say boot loader (or at least a boot loader with customizable boot options), and it’s not a drawing. There are obvious jpeg compression artifacts on just the screen portion of the drawing (It’s a photograph of a grub boot loader). Maybe you should do a little more research before you make uninformed posts.

Game titles such as Burnout3: Takedown, ESPN, NHL ‘ 2K5, Silent Hill 4: The Room, Terminator 3: The Redemption, Donkey Kong 3, and, Pokemon have joined the national lexicon as kids have flocked to the lure of electronic games. Ten cent comic books were generally in the Golden Age (pre 1950s) and 25 cent comics were from the Bronze Age (1970s). You are not as likely to see the type of illustrations Gothic works have in the other.
