Funny, but I had to use it on Firefox because in Chrome I have the Vimium extension...
zcid
Pentadactyl on Firefox has a pass through combination (^V - one time, ^Z continuous). Vimium might have something similar.

'i' will put you in insert mode, which should let most keypresses passthrough
tlvince
Hit "i" first (to enter insert mode) and go crazy!

"DB Error, overload!!!! Crap, system crashed :/"

Does not work. Site very slow. Will try later.

Is there a way for the Hacker News effect like we have Fireballed? Hackend? hacked seems miscommunication!
TamDenholm
I've always wondered if this is the kind of things real programmers make for actors so they look like hackers in movies.

I friend of mine made some Macromedia Director interfaces for the Bond movies in the 90's. The more ridiculous he made it the more the director loved it. He was required on set to teach the actors what to do and to make last minute changes due to bugs/script changes.

He said it was quite boring but very well paid.

I have been looking for how they make those ridiculous user interfaces in movies forever

Thank you!

High typing speeds (9001, for example) seem to cause problems.

Not even movie hackers type code in a variable-width font!

I think you want to also reference that home.css on the hacking page..

Right click the console text in Chrome and click Inspect Element. Right click <div id="console"> and click Add attribute. Paste the following: style="font-family: monospace"

Where are all the "bleeps" and "blooops" and "bididlybidilybidily" noises?

And syntax highlighting (I'm so tempted to fork this)

Here's my fork, the site will be on github shortly: http://codetyper.tk/

Still no bidillybidilly boop noises though, and I don't look like a real hacker when I make those noises myself.
codejoust
Well - I've added those noises. The flash can use a ton of work, but it's there. (and an obligatory startup sound).

NOW I can look like a proper monther funking hacker. I'm so happy I could poop.

I think it needs to spend some time editing - cutting, pasting / deleting / correcting typos.

Surely even the best hackers sometimes make typos?

does anyone want to make this into a screen saver? Would be pretty cool.

Allows you to use text files as the source, so adding in any source code would be easy.

last updated in 2001. Does it even still work on 64 bit win 7?
BCM43
This actually looks pretty similar to what I already use.
forcer
this is hilarious :) When you put it on fullscreen in the browser you could do some serious acting :)

Nice easter egg when you tap alt 3 times.
elliottcarlson
Should have X amount of ACCESS DENIED's before granting you access... and instead of source there should be a honeypot log being replayed... Time to get to work...
