All syllogisms have three parts, therefore this is not a syllogism.

You don't understand. "Hacking" means typing randomly as fast as possible. Therefore two people typing randomly at the same time can hack twice as fast as one person. It makes perfect sense. Seriously, though, there's another big problem with this scene: If this is a typical setup, the hacker is attacking a server somewhere in the facility, and that computer is just acting as a terminal communicating with said server. Shutting down the terminal simply stops them from interacting with said server, and thus the hacker will be completely free to hack the server without impediment, because Gibbs just severed their connection and stopped them from dealing with the hacker. Nice job breaking it, hero.
From the context of the video I gathered, the hacker is trying to directly break into her machine, not some server tied to the machine, which means that powering down her machine directly would actually be preventing the hacker's attempts. You're right, but if it were a typical setup and he instead powered down the server itself, it would accomplish the same thing. Still. This scene made me giggle when I saw it. Two idiots randomly mashing keys really fast works waaaaaaaay better than one! EDIT: I'm sorry, I forgot my obligatory video! Link to video

Gibbs doesn't know anything about computers. He wouldn't even understand what a server is or the difference between a terminal and a server...

The creepiest thing in this vid is the guy himself :D
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

This guy put a minimal amount of work into finding out how RNGs work in Zelda 1. We already knows everything he "founds". I'm also somewhat dissapointed that he never mentioned TAS in this video at all. Link to video

Yes, he definitely needed to build an actual arcade in order to demonstrate rng abuse using savestates... If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.

Well, the "actual arcade" gives it a nice aura of legitimacy. Of course, inside the cabinet there's some PC motherboard with Linux + an emulator running NES ROM of Zelda, but those bulky panels, retro controls and the unobtrusive style of presentation makes people more happy and satisfied. I bet if he were to use a simple PC + unshaven face, a lot of Youtubers would call him cheater and wouldn't really learn anything from the video. So he did good job. Most of us would ruin it by diving into difficult terms like "determinism" or "hexadecimal notation", etc.

Oooh... now that's clever. And I'm not being sarcastic here.

All I'm wondering now is how much people will think that his arcade was an actual, legit cabinet? :P

Look at the edge of the carpet around 1:15 if you don't already know that it's fake. It's a fun video though. I think this is probably the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbUGwA_woCE

The person flicks the carpet at the time the jump happens. I notice this too but it was too funny to let down.

Wasn't really what I was asking, but it doesn't matter. My humor is sometimes too obscure.
