"The article from Gizmodo" posted:

That's not an actual quote of course, but the scene here looks so contrived that it seems plausible. The scary thing is that the Cybersquad is protecting our data with old Dells, Windows XP and "intimidating" Matrix screensavers. Plus, that 37-inch Westinghouse sitting right on top of the keyboard is a good indicator that the Feds have extremely poor eyesight—so who knows what kind of mistakes are being made.

Using a "Matrix" screen saver to make it seem like you're actually doing something important? Totally something our government and Fox News would do together...

[StupidUsername67]

I've never facepalm'd so hard in my entire life.

[Ubercharged]

If he was slightly blacker, he even pull of Morphius.

[POLOPOZOZO]

And people wonder why insurgents can hack into drones and the Chinese keep stealing our secrets.

[BAZ]

yeah, i unplugged my ethernet as soon as i saw it.

that matrix screensaver is serious shit

[TropicalV2]

I bet he just happens to enjoy the Matrix, and work in the FBI.

[efeX]

its probably not even a screensaver, just a fucked up monitor

[Daolpu]

Behold, America's elite cyber security agents, who's greatest enemies are 14 year olds a little too much free time.

[Big Bang]

I stopped believing on any sort of Internet authority or legislation after Ted Stevens.

10 bucks say that he's the only member.

[CorpseRida]

It's FOX news. It didn't really happen.

That isn't going to stop the FBI

They have matrix screensavers for gods sake!

[wingless]

I got a feeling this is just fox trying to bullshit us and not really the cybersquad, don't you think they would be using hard core shit like xeon's and shit? not windows XP and crappy old dells.

Bwahahaha, spot on. Seriously, what do these guys do besides track down pedophiles and stupid kids that show their tits on webcam in order to send them to prison longer than men who commit murder?

Or maybe he used a Matrix screen saver because it was on the computers in the Matrix and he liked the Matrix movie...

Ohhh that sounds logical...

[plokoon9619]

Windows XP? That's nothing, Most businesses use Windows 2000.

It's fox.

[BusterBluth]

Are we really so obsessed with bitching about fox that we must make threads based purely on a interview setting?

Yes.

[fear me]

Are they complaining about the fact that they are using Windows or just how unprofessional they look overall?

But as the title shows, Windows 2000 is for Professionals.

The funny thing is there is probably people on Facepunch that would be better at their jobs than they are.

It's not funny in the first place

[Pepin]

I wonder what kind of work they do. Just surfing? I wouldn't mind actually seeing this story.

[Pvt. Ryan]

all government agencies should use the new year's model of alienware computers and should swap out video cards and processors whenever a faster one hits the market good god who fucking cares what kinds of computers they use

that's like saying police departments should buy 2010 dodge chargers because they look unprofessional driving old crown vics

[Emperor Scorpious II]

Because what screen saver they have definitely effects their ability to work right

Why would they spend millions of dollars to upgrade their computers, when an old Dell works perfectly fine?

Behold the illusion of American incompetency. Laugh at them then bam! They break into your house, shit on your toilet, and fuck your sister.

Then they would sit in your chair, eat your soup, and sleep in your bed.

[Pretiacruento]

I have the same screensaver, ever since the Matrix movies came along (Wow, it's been 10 years!!)... it looks BEAUTIFUL on widescreen displays...

You guys might want to try it out, you can get it from here.

On the FBI's defense, most businesses, like somebody said before, still use Win XP, so it's not unusual. As a matter of fact, the HSBC bank has a Windows Vista -not even 7, fucking Vista- migration scheduled for May 2010!

[Robert!]

Quick! Get the agents!

[lol12]

XP may not be the prettiest nor the simplest, but the FBI needs to learn to work with XP since it's basically the way to understand all other windows OSs. But they are too cool for macs, just like me :cool:
