Monday July 30, 2007 Transformers missed the "transform"
There are plenty of legendary (among geeks) Hollywood slipups with technical terms. This last weekend I encountered one more.
In Transformers, there is a scene where the blonde-model-playing-white-hat-hacker tries to impress upon the Secretary of Defense how sophisticated the inbound hack was. To underscore her point, she says it's not just simple "Fourier transfers" they're dealing with. The proper term of course is Fourier transform.
Ironic, given the name of the film.
