Well stuff like that is understandable, but seriously, you gotta wonder who has time to fake something like this.

From now on I will validate.

So what version will MS be on and what whp will be the "norm" when we will be in the "future"?

Extrapolating from the last three years MS4 and 400 maybe?

My first thought:

"Huh? I can clearly hear Doc's voice as he pronounces the year as Twenty FIF-TEEN in my head"

Then I looked more closely. The month / day / year in the top display are a different color from the the hour / minute. The shape of the characters (width, stroke thickness, separation between segments) doesn't match the lower displays, and the focus is sharper.

The leftmost "2" and "0" in the upper year isn't even properly aligned with the unlit segments behind it. Specifically, the "1" in 2012 is kerned. That 1 should be occupying a full-width character slot, but it isn't. This is a proportional typeface which has been right-justified. And the "N" in JUN displays a diagonal stroke which would be impossible to achieve given the style of display in use. Ditto the serif on the J.

If he really wanted to be convincing, he could have pieced together a better forgery by cloning existing character segments.


In all honesty, who in the hell would bother creating this sort of forgery when you're sure to be found out? Is it really that hard to just wait three more years?


Idiocy...

Here, I just did a quickie version of what that panel should have looked like. Note that the colors are correct and the segments are properly aligned:

And for comparison:

If you're going to falsify historical records (even fictional ones) at least put some friggin effort into it...

Nerds, meet your master.

Probably the same type of person that would bother correcting aforementioned forgery.

You knew where this was heading. :giggle:

Joe Perez 06-28-2012 12:04 PM

I did a lot of forging in my youth, so I have kind of a special appreciation for well-executed examples, and harbor a special opprobrium for those done lazily and in haste.
