What Does Your Escape Key Do?



Yeah, CSI: NY has some pretty unrealistic parts to it. But I still watch it some.

But the latest episode features Second Life. The evil villain tries to download some virus into the crime lab, and the computer savvy young guy saves the day. How?

He shuts down the ENTIRE SYSTEM by pressing the ESCAPE KEY:

CSI escape


Can your escape key do that? Only if you’re in CSI.

    It seems like it wouldn’t be too hard to map it, but I wouldn’t want to for fear of accidently pressing it.

    My escape key teleports me (like the toaster in the simpsons that Homer sticks his hand into) to an alternate cyber reality in which I’m looking at a blue screen, typing blue words,… it’s quite magical…

    Sorry ‘esc’ doesn’t do much for me!

    My escape key IS pretty powerful. I have a mac and it’s designed such that the escape key pretty much gets me out of anything. My F7 key shuts down all power in Chicago.

    Nice blog, by the way. I really enjoy reading it.

    This is nothing new for the entertainment industry. It’s like all of those action movies that try to throw some technology in.
    “I’ve got to hack the internets in 5 minutes or our database hotkey will be compromised!”
    Don’t they have anyone working for them who is even somewhat familiar with computers?

    I never thought this post would’ve spurred such great comments! More than anything, I wanted to poke a little fun at Hollywood. Thanks for your great responses!
