Can anyone find the link for it? I ran a search but found nothing.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

What, that really complex light-show timed perfectly to a certain song, that was undoubtedly powered by its own nuclear fission reactor?

They ripped it off for a ****ing Marks And Spencer advert.

I saw it on TV and was like "YOU ****ING BASTARDS!"

I think you mean the Lotto, don't you? I remember at the end of the advert it says, "Imagine if you won this Christmas?" or something along those lines.

Yep. And I had a pretty much similar response to an0n about it with an extra side helping of "I can't believe some wanker got paid thousands of pounds for ripping off stuff from the net".

It's not even as if they did anything remotely original with it even. The house is decorated almost exactly the same as in that video.

**** it. Bill Hicks was right. People in advertising should kill themselves for the good of everyone.

Google video isn't available here.

Because Google is counterrevolutionary, no doubt.
