Can I take a bike on the Tube (underground) in London, if so how much does it cost?

Transport for London page on Bikes on Public Transport
On the tube, folding bikes are good anywhere at any time. Non-folders are restricted to only certain lines - in most cases these are lines that have no deep below ground tracks - and certain times, although the above page doesn't specify these very well. In fact it says you can take your non folding bike on the Overground at any time, yet I saw a sign in Golders Green station last night stating the more or less standard ban between 7 and 10 am and 4 and 6 pm.
To a certain extent it is going to be up to the station/train staff. I've travelled on the DLR with my bike in the past, before I realised they have a total ban (I was dismissed from the train, which sucked because I'd had a few to drink and was trying to avoid cycling home). If in any doubt, or trying to wing it, its always worth asking before you enter the station.

Hello everybody !
I wondered, without really knowing where to search, whether there was a "smart" way to enumerate/iterate over all the elements of a set which can be counted by inclusion-exclusion. For instance, list all the derangements on $n$ elements (I'm not especially interested in enumerating the derangements and I guess there is bound to be a good specific way to enumerate them, but that's the first thing that came to my mind).
In particular, I would like to avoid having to remember all the elements which have already been enumerated (as this can grow very large)...
Thank you for your lights :-)

World-wide Barcelona ranks as 15th safest city according to The Economist. So, yes, Barcelona is a safe city to visit in 2016.

Crime in Barcelona
The biggest crime problem In Barcelona for tourists in some areas is being a victim of Barcelona pickpockets. Sadly there are many pickpockets in popular tourist areas, so be aware in busy tourist places, airports, train stations, metro and also in your hotel lobby. Pickpockets in Barcelona are not violent. They target handbags, phones and wallets, which they try to steal without the owner noticing. We recommend you read the safety tips below to avoid pickpockets in Barcelona.
Long term foreign residents and local residents in Barcelona will tell you that that Barcelona is generally a very safe city. Agressive and violent behavior in the Barcelona nightlife is very rare, especially compared to nothern European countries. You can walk the streets alone at night out without feeling threatened and the Barcelona metro is completely safe from violent crime. You often see police patrolling on streets and in traffic both day and night. In the summer extra police patrols are on La Rambla, which is the street in Barcelona that has most pickpockets. Petty crime numbers are coming down, both on La Rambla and in the metro. However, be aware of pickpockets at Sant station. The police station at Sants has been closed and this has led to an increase in bag snatchers at the station.
Is Barcelona safe to visit? Yes. It is very safe. The Spanish do not generally drink to excess, which generally keeps the nightlife peaceful and limits brawls and fight. Smoking pot seems to be much more popular in Spain than heavy drinking. So you are more likely to be hugged in Barcelona, than mugged. But like any big city, muggings in Barcelona can happen. They usually occur late at night after 01:00 in the morning and mostly around at the port end of La Rambla and in the lower part of the Raval neighbourhood, but as we mentioned muggings with violence are very rare. Peopl, who walk alone in the areas mentioned above, and who are quite drunk are at most at risk of being mugged but in general everyone can walk the streets of Barcelona and tate the metro in safety.

We would rather tell you how you can avoid becoming the victim of theft in Barcelona. Just follow the safety tips below and the chances of you being robbed in Barcelona are really very small. The BarcelonaYellow team have lived in Barcelona for many years and we have walked on Las Ramblas a thousand times without being robbed.
1. Dress in normal clothes
Don't wear the "tourist uniform" on vacation. Just wear your regular clothes. Some of us have a hidden wardrobe of old and colourful vacation clothes bought many years ago. We recommend that you leave this eclectic collection at home because they are a bit fashion scary AND they make you a easy target for pickpockets. Barcelona is very much a casual clothes city, so just wear what you would at home, T-shirts, jeans etc. A good rule of thumb is, if you don't wear it at home, don't wear it on holiday. Save the hawaii shirts for a Bad Taste Party or an ABBA fan club barbeque and dress more warmly in the winter from November to April. If you are the only person on the street in Bermuda shorts and flip-flops, then you are an easy target for pickpockets.
2. Dress to suit the season
Spain does not have a tropical climate so it is too cold to wear shorts and short skirts in the winter months. Read about weather in Barcelona. The clothes worn in Barcelona are more of less the same style as in all European cities and the clothes tend to follow the seasons.
3. Hide guidebooks and maps
Keep the guidebooks and maps out of sight untill you need them. Even if you don't look Spanish, you can avoid pickpockets simply by looking as if you are a foreigner resident of in Barcelona. Many tourists walk around clutching their guide books and maps at all times. Why? The guide book or map is the single biggest clue for pickpockets. Why walk around holding a guide book or map all the time? Consult it and then put it away. When you want to consult it again, then go into a doorway or somewhere safe that is not in full view of everyone, then get the map out again. Use a small and light guidebook or a foldable map of Barcelona. You can get one free at hotels and tourist offices all over Barcelona.
4. Watch your bag at all times
In Barcelona's cafés and restaurants DO NOT put your bag over the back of a chair, or in an empty chair next to yours or even under the table. That is an easy target for a pickpocket. Put your bag in your lap and keep a hand on it. If you have it under the chair or table, then keep a hand on the strap if possible. Sometimes pickpockets will sneak up behind chairs and take bags. Look around and you will see that Barcelona residents often have their bag in their lap.
5. Don't be a target
Don't show the Barcelona pickpockets what you have. The tourists who are targeted and robbed the most are the ones who show the robbers what they have, so hide your possesions. The pickpockets are most attracted to tourist who obviously have something good to steal. If you are a walking shop window, then you can expect shop-lifters. The less you have on display – the less interesting a target you become. We recommend that you keep the expensive cameras and phones in your bags or pockets. When you get to a place of interest in Barcelona, then take out your camera and take some photos. When you have finished, put the camera away instead of leaving it dangling around your neck. If you have a big camera, then consider a neutral camera bag, that doesn't say Nikon all over it. Or simply cover or remove the labels.
Don't display an expensive camera with a telephoto lens dangling at your side. Keep a hand on the lens and keep it in your lap when seated
Don't display a camera bag with brand name on bag and the straps. Cover or remove the brand name. Bring fewer lenses. Keep bag on lap when seated.
Don't use a big bag if possible. Put it in your lap - never on back of chair or between your legs under chair.
Don't display Ipad or Iphone. Keep them hidden when not in use.
Don't carry your wallet your back pocket. Leave your regular wallet at home and just bring a small one with cash and 2 credit cards and whatever ID you need.
Don't leave zip open on rucksack and don't wear on back with the flap open. It's safer to wear it on front or avoid rucksack altogether.

6. Don't put cell phones on café table
Don't put anything like wallets or mobile phones on restaurant or café tables in Barcelona. Especially outdoors and especially on La Rambla street. Be wary of kids or beggars trying to sell newspapers or magazines to you, purportedly donating profits to help the homeless. If you do forget and leave something in full view on the cafe table, these kids will quickly target you. Their trick is to put the paper down on the table pretending to let you see it, then as they leave they deftly scoop up your phone or wallet, when they pick up the paper again. It's a free magic show, but rather costly!
7. Wear your backpack in front
Wear back-packs and rucksacks on your front and keep them zipped up. If you have a shoulder bag, then tuck it under your arm and grip it. Make sure all bags are closed and zipped and in your sight, especially when you are in the Metro. Try to avoid shoulder bags, money pouches and camera straps with thin straps. Pickpockets can cut through them in a second and slip away with the the bag without you even feeling it. Avoid big wallets in back pockets and don't take all your cards and cash with you. Leave some at the hotel. Leave your passport at the hotel safe, unless you need to change money in a bank.
8. Avoid physical contact
Beware of anybody touching you at any time, or approaching you. This could be a misdirection technique intended to distract your attention, while they rob you. Scamsters often operate in teams and while you are talking or being distracted by one, you might be robbed by another. One of the typical metro tricks in Barcelona is on the escalators. Someone in front of you drops coins and keys on the steps. Total confusion. While you are helping pick things up, you are being robbed. Another common pickpocket trick is for one or two pickpockets to pretend to hug you and be your friend. They often try this when they can see that you are drunk late at night. So don't drink and hug! At least don't hug strangers under the influence. Another trick is to claim that you have pigeon droppings on your shoulderm, which they will help you brush off. There are many scam variants. Avoid physical contact. Push them away if necessary. Pickpockets will very rarely attack you. If they feel that they have been spotted, they just shrug their shoulders and wait for another victim. Be wary of offers of help and be very aware if you accept them. Also be wary of anyone who says that they are the police and ask for identification. Some pickpockets pretend to be police and ask to see your ID and try and get to your wallet in this way. Never hand your wallet to a stranger and if someone says they are a policeman then ask them to take you to the police station.
9. Be careful of street games
Stay away from the street games. Don't even watch them. They are a scam run by gangs of criminals. You can lose your money playing the games, and at the same time because your attention is distracted, you can also have your pocket picked. The most typical street game scame is the three bottle tops where you have to find the ball underneath one of them. Or the three cards. This is a well known street game called "trilo" and played by "trileros." It is a complete scam and from 2011 is classified as a criminal offence by Barcelona police. Four or five of the of the people watching the game, and who encourage you to play, are members of the "trilero" gang and some might be pickpockets too. So stay far away from this game. There are other free shows and human statues on La Rambla, which are often good fun but be aware while you are watching street show, because you will be distracted, which makes it easier for the pickpockets.
10. Don't carry all credits cards
Leave some in your home country and leave some cash and cards at your hotel or apartment in a safe place. A good rule of thumb is not to take unnecessary plastic cards on holiday. You don't need video cards, gym cards, library cards, and all the other loyalty cards you have at home in Barcelona. Take them out of your wallet before you leave home. If you are unlucky and have your wallet stolen, then at least you will not have to replace every card you own. Important tip: If you wallet is stolen and then returned but without cash but with credit cards, then cancel them anway. The person returning your wallet might be in a pick-pocket gang and they might have taken pictures of your credit cards so that they can be used online. So if your wallet is out of your possesion even for a short while, then the safest thing is to cancel them as soon as possible.
11. Tips about ID and passports
You will need often be asked for photo ID to make credit cards purchases and to change money at banks, so if you want to make a major purchase then of course you need to have them. But if you are just out for the day and don't plan to spend too much, then leave them at the hotel. Most quality hotels are safe, but hostels are a different matter. Ask if they have a safe in the reception or another system for safeguarding valuable items. And it's a good idea to have a few copies of your passport with you, just in case.
12. Keep cash in separate pocket
If you are unlucky and have your wallet or bag snatched then at least you will have a few euros for food and the bus home to your hotel in Barcelona. If you are a couple, then don't put both wallets, phones etc in the same bag!
13. Make list of important numbers
Write down a few personal phone numbers and keep them separate from your wallet or send them to yourself in an e-mail. Some people have their phone stolen and find that they cannot actually recall any numbers in their head. Remember you can always call Barcelona emergency numbers for help.
14. Safety on Barcelona beaches
Barcelona has super beaches, but there are many thieves on the beach, especially around Barceloneta. If the beach is very crowded, then try not to have anything of real value and keep it covered. Don't fall asleep. Don't leave your stuff on the beach, while everyone in your group goes for a swim. If someone lies next to you is alone and just has a towel and no books, sun lotion, etc then be extra careful. Of course if are asleep, then you won't notice, so don't fall asleep on the beach. The worst beach for being robbed is Barceloneta. The others further to the north are not that bad. If you have time then north of the city of Barcelona for nicer beaches, where you won't ever be robbed. By the way you can trust the drinks vendors on the beach. They often help catch the pickpockets and hand them over to the police. On the beach you could try the old safety precaution of putting your wallet in your shoe. But heed the words of comedian Jerry Seinfeld:
We go to the beach, go in the water, put your wallet in the sneaker, who's gonna know?
What criminal mind could penetrate this fortress of security?
"I put it down by the toe. They never look there."
"They check the heels, they move on."
15. Safety in Barcelona metro
There are pickpocket gangs operating in the Barcelona metro. We recommend that you choose a purse or bag with a secure clasp. Keep the purse or bag close to your body and in front or under your arm. Grip the bag, when you are in the Barcelona metro system The safest place for a wallet is in your front trouser pocket, or side pocket - with your hand round it! Never in your back trouser pocket. Another good tip is to put a thick rubber band around your wallet. The rubber band will create more friction and resistance than the smooth leather, if your wallet is being removed from your pocket. This means that there is a greater chance that you will notice it leaving your trousers! Be aware of loud arguments or commotions that may be staged in order to distract you, while an accomplice picks your pocket. If you have something stolen, yell out immediately to warn others. Don't be afraid to SHOUT! Tell the train or bus operator, and shout for someone to call the police. This creates a bigger chance of someone discarding your wallet then running. If a person finds your wallet, then ask them to wait until the police get there. This could be an accomplice! Often a friend of the pickpocket will pretend to find your wallet and return it, (without the cash) to stop you running after the pickpocket, who is his friend! Be extra careful if the Barcelona metro is crowded or if you are bumped or jostled.
16. Don't drink too much
Sorry to spoil the party, but most pickpocket scams are particularly effective if you have had too much to drink
17. Report theft to police
There is a good chance the money will be gone if your wallet is found, but perhaps a friendly Catalan will find your wallet and hand it to the police. It might have a lot of cards and photos intact. And you will be able to claim insurance with an official police report. At the moment you have to go to a police station ( "una comisaría de Mossos d'Esquadra,") but you might be able to report a theft from your hotel in Barcelona. Ask at reception. The most convenient police stations to report a theft in the centre of Barcelona are the police stations on Plaça Catalunya and on Nou de la Rambla. You can find the full list of police stations on the links below.
18. Beware of fake policemen
If you are stopped by plain clothes policement who are not in uniform, then they might well be fake police. Real Spanish policemen are not corrupt. Real Spanish policemen do not fine people on the street. Real Spanish policemen never ask tourists for ID. So if you are stopped by plain clothes policement and they want to fine you or see your ID, then they might be fake police. Ask to see their ID, be very aware and tell them you prefer to go to the police station. Do not give them money or show them any ID. They will snatch your wallets.

I just found that there is a crack in one of my glass blocks. I noticed that it seems to have water inside. What is the likely cause of this, and how can I repair it? Should I be worried about structural damage?
It's glass...it's a fairly rigid material and will not flex like other potential building materials such as wood, mortar, etc. So, if the house settled, the block may simply have been under enough stress to crack it.
Or, maybe someone shot it with a BB gun.

Wintersville-based Praise His Name, an online Christian music ministry featuring independent Christian artists from around the world, moves into its second year of operation with renewed emphasis to use a modern means to spread God's word, according to Keith Wilson, founder and chairman of the nonprofit organization.
The Christian-based website www.PraiseHisName.net was established in October 2011 for a specific purpose, including "with hopes to help combat the excessive amount of immoral content on the Internet," Wilson said
"We wanted to use the modern means of technology to spread God's Word. In Mark 16:15, Jesus said, 'Go into all the world and preach the Good News to all creation,' so what better way to reach the world than the Internet? Our online ministry began with a few individuals providing us music, sermons and short devotionals. As time went on and the content increased, we had to create one playlist for talk and one for music. In October 2012, we decided after analyzing the numbers that the majority of people were listening to music. We began phasing out the talk side in December, and on Jan. 1st, we were playing all music," Wilson said.
The website www.PraiseHisName.net is available 24 hours daily and currently has more than 130 artists with close to 1,000 songs. Wilson explained that the on-demand playlist contains black gospel, Caribbean gospel, country gospel, contemporary, urban, R&B and traditional Christian music.
"We search social media sites Twitter (@PHNRadio), Facebook (PHNRadio) and LinkedIn daily to find new Christian artists. We have just about every genre for people to choose from. We want our listeners to have the opportunity to listen to what they want, when they want," he said.
Its mission is "to be the voice calling out on the Internet using Christian music to spread God's Word" with the goal of using music to encourage, inspire and bring listeners closer to Jesus Christ. "We may never know if someone's life has been changed by what we're doing, but God knows, and that's all that matters," Wilson said.
In addition to Wilson, Praise His Name's board of directors consists of Harry Nicholson, vice chair; Ilore Wilson, secretary; Jeremy Wilson, treasurer; Pastor Bob Welch; and Dan Pinciaro. Serving in an advisory capacity are Ryan Call, technical help, and Marie Wikle, social media.
"Praise His Name is blessed to have the enthusiastic support from numerous area churches," Wilson added.
A new effort on the calendar involves plans for an inaugural "Praise His Name Music Fest" set for April 13 at Bell Chapel United Methodist Church on state Route 213 in Steubenville.
Pinciaro is event project coordinator for the music fest that will begin at 5 p.m. and feature performers that will include himself, Friends, Dave Byers, Steve Powell and Led By Mercy.
Admission is free, and there will be drawings for free CDs, DVDs and T-shirts.
Asked what message he would most want to get across to readers, Wilson responded, "It is our hope that our listeners, whatever their faith, whatever their circumstances, church or nonchurch-goers, may find the message of God's love for each of us in song," citing Psalm 95:2 "Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song."
He said Praise His Name has been "very well received" by thousands of listeners.
"Since its inception, Praise His Name has had listeners in all 50 states and nine countries," he said. "One of our goals is to find funding and have an app developed that will allow people with mobile devices to have access to every song that's available on our website."
For information, contact Wilson by phone at (740) 264-4604 or (740) 381-5243 or by e-mail at email@example.com.

The question is regarding the fortresses. If they each pay +1 VC for each turn that they are on the map and your race is active, then they become quite powerful because the VC will be building exponentially. Is this the case, or do they only each pay one VC on the turn that they are placed and then are only good as a defensive bonus for there on out?

In Smallworld, do Fortresses pay the +1 VC only on the turn they are placed, or do they each pay for every turn that the race is active?
They work at the end of each your turn (not only when they are placed).
Even if it might by ambiguous in the Smallworld rules,
At the end of each turn where your active race occupies a Fortress (including the turn in which it was placed), you get 1 point for each occupied Fortress.
This is not an exponential point growth. For example, on the third turn you held a Fortress, you do not get 3 points, you just get the standard 1 point each turn.

I'm looking for a paid photo and video hosting site that provides unlimited storage and unlimited video length and is above all FAST for uploads and photo management.
Additional features of interest are: ease of photo gallery customization, ease of integration with other apps and services.
But the most important features are simply: unlimited and fast.
Some providers that I'm considering are:

Subject: [OMPI devel] RFC: make hwloc be a 1st-class citizen
From: Jeff Squyres (jsquyres_at_[hidden])
Date: 2011-08-31 15:05:40
WHAT: Move hwloc up to be a first-class citizen in OPAL (while still making it possible to compile it out for platforms that don't need it)
WHY: I previously sent a similar RFC to this one, but it got shot down in favor of hiding hwloc's functionality under abstraction. After playing with this for some time, we're now firmly in the belief that the additional abstraction doesn't buy OMPI anything.
WHERE: A new compile-time-one-of-many framework like libevent: opal/mca/hwloc.
WHEN: as part of the paffinity changes being worked on by Jeff, Josh, Terry, and Ralph.
TIMEOUT: Teleconf, Tuesday, Sep 6.
--> Short timeout because I *think* the only person that objected to the prior RFC (Ralph) has now been converted. Hence, I think this will be non-controversial. See below.
There are many people who want to use hwloc within the OMPI code base for many different reasons. We've struggled how to do so for two reasons:
1. avoid a complete dependence on hwloc
2. be able to compile it out for platforms that don't want/need it (e.g., Cray)
The initial objection to my long-ago RFC was that you could hide hwloc under some abstraction and therefore easily be able to handle compiling hwloc out, supporting platforms that hwloc doesn't support, and potentially be able to replace hwloc with something else someday, if desired.
After wrestling with this for a good long while, none of those goals seem workable via a thin layer of abstraction.
Instead, let's just call a spade a spade: we'll be dependent upon hwloc. We'll provide a mechanism to compile it out for Cray and other embedded platforms.
Here's the plan:
1. Make a new framework opal/mca/hwloc. We'll initially have 3 components:
- hwloc121: hwloc distribution v1.2.1
- system: the system-installed hwloc
- none: for platforms that don't want hwloc support
Just like the libevent framework, we can introduce new versions of hwloc (e.g., 1.3) as new components. Old versions/components can be deleted as new versions/components are stabilized.
2. The hwloc framework will be like the libevent framework; only one of these components will be compiled. The component's hwloc API will be directly available (via name-shifting) to the rest of OPAL/ORTE/OMPI. No need for the usual structs of function pointers and whatnot.
3. The rest of the OPAL / ORTE / OMPI code base can use the hwloc API in the following way:
3a. opal_init() will initialize hwloc and load a central copy of the local machine's topology in a global variable. Anyone in the code base can use this global variable; its use does not need to be protected by #if _whatever_. However, its value may be NULL for platforms that hwloc doesn't support or installations that used the "none" hwloc component.
3b. opal_config.h will contain the macro OPAL_HAVE_HWLOC, which will be either 0 or 1. Any code that uses the hwloc API must protect itself with #if OPAL_HAVE_HWLOC, because installations that use the "none" hwloc component won't be able to link resolve any of the hwloc symbols.
Meaning that you could do something like:
if (NULL != opal_hwloc_topology) {
#if OPAL_HAVE_HWLOC
// ...use hwloc API, etc.
4. After steps 1-3 are all done, the paffinity and maffinity frameworks can be deleted and replaced with the corresponding hwloc calls.
Meaning: if we've got hwloc, the paffinity and maffinity frameworks now become redundant. So let's whack them. This can happen after 1-3 are done and stable in the trunk, however.

can anyone come up with multifunction laser printers available in India that work with Ubuntu 12.04? I'm asking because on most websites, I can't seem to find the models which are available on Indian markets/shopping websites. I know that sometimes that does happen, because new models replace old ones at a delayed schedule here.

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Best and safest, any HP you will buy in India or elsewhere will work with Ubuntu, be it their multi function, stand alone or laser, thats how good HP support for open source is. Epson has also improved but its still patchy, so is Canon.
I would ask this on an Ubuntu site that is related to India. As an example: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=389 You are guaranteed to find people from India there with specific local knowledge.
Also likely to be able of use:
But I agree with user68186 in comment: HP has always worked for me.

7 Baffling Moments from The Worst Video Game Movie Ever
Game: Millions of players engaged in hours of expert combat
Movie: Comical
Legend: The entire cast and crew were hired at an anti-violence protest for cripples
Street Fighter: The Movie might have had the most poorly choreographed fight scenes since the Star Wars Kid got in front of a camcorder, but Van Damme is at least known for fighting. Of Legend's 96-minute runtime there are maybe five minutes of fisticuffs, and they only count because of the anesthetic effects of the rest of the movie. They spend longer in temples and boardrooms than in combat. If you got a paper cut after watching this you'd expect time to slow down and the Requiem for a Dream theme to start playing because it would be the most dramatic violence you'd seen in hours.
They were especially challenged by how neither of the leads could land a blow on a sleeping sumo wrestler, leading to an incredible number of jump cuts and half of everyone involved being out of frame, under the impression that if at least the camera man was leaping around and cutting people in half with the edge of the frame it'd look like violence. That would be unforgivable in any fighting flick, but where the entire point of the game is "two people visibly hitting each other" we'll have to invent five new gods just to not forgive the filmmakers hard enough.
Short form: If you're a full half-hour into your action movie before the title character hits someone, kill everyone involved including yourself, but spare the Key Grip so that future action filmmakers will learn from your tragedy.
Game: Assortment of brilliantly lunatic movies
Movie: A few punches and kicks which sort of look a bit like the game's special moves, if you squint and you've been hit in the head by every single one of them
Legend: They might as well have thrown a blue shell at someone
They spend the entire movie building up to Chun-Li's ability to throw fireballs. Protip: don't spend an entire Street Fighter movie preparing the characters for being Street Fighters. Worse, Chun-Li can throw fireballs the way Wolverine can murder you with his eyes; sure, it's possible, but they've got friends way better at it and better known moves of their own. The one thing the film gets right is that her fireball is just as pathetic and totally ineffective as in the game.
When she finally launches into a Spinning Bird Kick to beat up five gunmen, it takes place in a room full of stripper poles. This scene shouldn't have just been good, it should have been ten thousand nerd dreams coalesced into one wet wand of pandering cinema. And when you've released Street Fighter: Legend of This Time We're Just Focusing On The Hot Asian, "pandering" is no longer a flaw but your entire marketing strategy. It even makes sense, since a strip club is the only place you could conceivably find Chun-Li's costume.
Yes, the filmmakers torture us for a good hour of racially insulting, intelligence assaulting build up only to provide a set up that could redeem the whole thing. An accountants convention couldn't make the concept of "Chinese girl beats off men by doing the splits upside down and spinning" boring if they injected your brain and genitals with Novocain. These guys did it with a camera.
Game: A globe-spanning series of battles capped by a final climactic battle (and 20 continues)
Movie: Guile punches Bison into the world's first television-based atomic reactor
Legend: Bison staggers around with powder in his eyes, wondering who stole this ending from a Disney movie
Legend's final showdown is a worse catalog of disaster than Skymall For Supervillains. Chun-Li defeats her mortal enemy by accident, knocking cement powder from an utterly unexplained building site in the heart of Bison's fortress into his eyes. He staggers around like a crippled Make-a-Wish kid whose final desire was to be a guest villain in Home Alone, waiting a full five minutes until Chun-Li believes in herself hard enough to throw a fireball, despite having absolutely no reason to do that instead of just walking over and kicking him.
Legend isn't just a poor sequel, it's an attempt to rewrite history. The plan was clearly for it to suck so badly it would become a black hole, travel back in time and make Van Damme's movie look brilliant by comparison, and that would have worked. If we'd seen Legend first, Van Damme's "sequel" would have been so much better it would actually have been called Street Fighter II.

8 Scenes That Prove Hollywood Doesn't Get Technology
As we have previously mentioned, hilarious things happen when writers try to write characters who are smarter than themselves. For instance, I don't doubt that some research goes into writing the medical jargon on House, but we all know that at some point they fake it. And that's fine, because what percentage of the audience is composed of not only doctors, but genius doctors? It's probably not even half.
But that's why it's so baffling when Hollywood fucks up every scene involving computers or video games. They not only get everything wrong, but give us the most insulting bullshit imaginable on details it would have taken two minutes to Google. So we wind up with scenes like this ...
(Note: Credit goes to the tech savvy gang at the NeoGAF forums for hunting down many of these clips, and countless others).
#8. NCIS -- Two People Sharing a Keyboard
Let's assume you know absolutely nothing about computers. Let's say you've never even touched one, but only know them based on what others have relayed to you second-hand. You would still find this scene impossibly stupid.
So it's the navy cop show NCIS, and they're under a hacker attack!
The hot goth chick starts hammering away at her keyboard as dozens of windows erupt on her screen, looking like she's trying to close all of the porn popups before her mom walks in and catches her.
"Be out in a minute, mom! I'm just ... combing my hair!"
Another agent enters the lab, and something so stupid happens that I can't even understand how the actors didn't put a stop to it in mid-shoot: Both people start feverishly typing on the same keyboard.
Man, that hacker was so good, he beat BOTH of us!
One character takes all of the letters from G to the left. And the other from H to the right. I'm guessing that they just worked so well together that he just knew when she needed him to hit the A; and she just felt it when he needed to hit Enter? Who got the space bar? As fast as they were hammering that keyboard, it would have had the same exact effect if one of them had just started slamming their entire palm across it and screaming like a frightened chimp.
Man, we are off to a fucking horrible start here -- what can we expect from an industry that doesn't understand how keyboards work despite using them on a daily basis to type the scripts?
#7. Hackers -- Hacking is Kind of Like a Video Game
The 1995, Hackers starred a young Angelina Jolie in a period of her career when it was clearly between this movie and porn. Ironically, the porn parody version of Hackers probably handled the technical details of hacking with the exact same level of accuracy:
We're going to skip right past the fact that they depict all hackers as ultra-cool, vinyl wearing leaders of a cutting edge subculture because that's a stylistic choice on the part of the director. Yes, hackers wear sunglasses while they're hacking. Fine. It's a movie.
So when we get to the hacking scenes, we're treated to a flyover shot of a Tron city, with information appearing in the form of CGI buildings. It's kind of a neat, artsy way to visualize the hacking that doesn't just force us to look at Linux command lines for the duration of a montage.
But then you realize that this isn't just the filmmaker's artistic representation of the idea of hacking ... it's actually on the person's monitor, and this is in fact the act of hacking. This is the actual user interface of the system they're trying to get into.
Wait, what the fuck are you typing?
We're expected to believe that searching for a file in this system involves flying a camera through a virtual city until we find our target: a room filled with mathematical equations chaotically swarming over a background of fire.
It's why most hackers are prone to seizures.
I'm not sure which is more hilarious: imagining the IT staff of this organization who labors around the clock to dress up their server's folders in a 1980s music video, or thinking about the everyday staff of that organization who has to go careening through this system every time they need to bring up that month's payroll spreadsheet.
Ah, who am I kidding? I will pay good money to anyone in the comments who can teach me how to set up my computer so that the act of navigating my C drive looks exactly like that.
#6. Masterminds -- Hacking Actually is a Video Game
But at least that movie only made their hacking "like" a video game. 1997's Masterminds boasted a scene in which the hacking actually was a video game, complete with a first person shooter setup and... a joystick.
That's right.
So this "hack" is executed by the kid navigating his character around a cartoon castle, complete with animated gates, hallways, torches and scary video game skeletons:
It really is an impenetrable fortress of a system -- after the program recognized the hacker as "an illegal intruder," it says it's only going to allow him two minutes to find the "valid entrance."
Above: Hacking.
Instead of, you know, killing his connection or something.
To be fair, the system does try to track the hacker's location. Unfortunately, the system also informs the hacker of this, and notifies him of their progress in doing it.
Then it throws all the tracing and blocking out the window when the hacker finds the "valid entrance" inside the two minute time limit. Really, every firewall should respect the idea of fair competition and bow to anyone who bests it.
... but turning you in would be dishonoring your victory. Well played.
#5. NCIS -- 16-Core with a Ten Meg Pipe
As we're about to find out, absolutely no one is worse with this subject than network cop shows. Let us present this NCIS clip that is medically proven to make you stupider:
So a guy enters a girl's living room, looks at her monitor and asks, "Is that a 12-core?"
Now, we're not going to get technical with this because none of us here at Cracked are qualified enough to give a shit, but we're not going to let it slide that he just made an educated guess about the size of her processor by glancing at her fucking desktop wallpaper.
"Is that a 12-core? Wait, why did you photoshop that title onto World of Warcaft's login screen?"
But the real "go fuck yourself" message to every gamer watching is when they start talking about her holding "the high score in virtually every massively multiplayer online role-playing game."
The high score. You know, because these newfangled "online role-playing games" the kids are talking about are basically Pac-Man, right? And it wasn't enough to say she had the high score in one MMORPG, oh no. She holds the high score in virtually all of them. In a world where becoming even an average player in one game takes the same amount of time as a full-time job.
The thing is, I can almost understand the ridiculous portrayal of hacking earlier -- most people haven't hacked a computer. But there aren't many places you can go in America where someone in the room hasn't played an MMORPG. If you're confused, fucking ask somebody, Mr. TV Writer. Because unless you're performing your cop show live in the cafeteria of a nursing home, lots of your viewers are going to know you pulled a whole scene straight out of your ass.
