Star Wars Movie in Terminal :-)

[Habakuk]

Okay it's not high definition, it's a silent film but it needs almost no system ressources.

1. Open Terminal

2. Type there telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

3. Wait a minute and enjoy the show!

thats awesome

I assume it's streaming from the internet, yes? If it isn't, I might watch it on the train. It doesn't kill the battery at all

 

[Nermal]

That's correct. In the simplest terms, you're opening a "remote desktop" connection to a computer that's playing the movie.

 

[rajfantastic]

you have to use terminal for the full nerd effect

 

[GavinTing]

That is.. Amazing.

I read about that long ago in a Mac OS X hacks book . Did you happen to get it there?

 

[sycho]

Just so you know, this will work in a terminal from any operating system, including, GASP!!!, Windows....

 

[NickElls]

Whoa. I first found out about this about 3 years ago. It's not done yet?

I didn't even know it was incomplete, because I never bothered to watch the whole thing.

 

[twoodcc]

i couldnt watch the whole thing though. i bet that took a lot of work
