I believe the phrase is "epic fail".
But then, I guess I'm one of a small band of elite experts, and the
general populous doesn't know this...

Related (at least according to YouTube): Hilarious take on some other
epic fail you'll probably all know...

Exactly. Grandma wouldn't know this makes no sense at all, and most
people prefer to see a 10 year old girl "flying" over a wireframe mesh
of the Jurassic Park building to get to the building they're in and lock
the doors before the raptors get in than to see Trinity use bash to
exploit a buffer overflow in ssh v1.0 and hack into the Matrix.
Whle we're on the topic of Epic Fails, as it pertains to computers in
movies, Goldeneye is really bad for it. The least of which is the
persavise IBM product placement through out the movie. "e-Mail" that
looks like some sort of kiddie chat with cartoon avatars, viruses that
make rack modems fizz with sparks, and IBM product placement in the
least likely places (watch for the OS/2 Warp boot screens all over the
course of the movie!)

Wasn't this a real interface developed by SGI?

And I did an epic fail of my own editing that message!

So it was.
The point stands, though, that it was more visually appealing to have
her use a 3D GUI than a shell.

Yeah, gotta love it when that happens. (Usually while pointing out an
error in something else...)

To some extent, I can feel the script-writer's dilemma. Watching
somebody *actually* hack a computer is very uninteresting. There isn't
really much to see.
This, however, is absolutely no excuse for inserting random gibberish
into dialogue just because you think nobody will know you're talking
nonsense. That's just lazy.
Also: I'm pretty damned certain that no matter how much of an elite
computer nerd you are, you *cannot* actually hack traffic lights. You
know, seeing as they aren't controlled by a computer in the first place...

That probably does depend on the traffic lights in question. In some
cities, traffic lights are sync'ed to each other to give some traffic
what we call a "green wave" in Germany, and/or can be remotely operated
to give priority to emergency vehicles, so I'd guesstimate that by now
there /are/ traffic lights somewhere in the world (especially in
megacities) that are controlled by some central traffic management
computer system.
(Not to mention that even "stand-alone" traffic lights will typically
have been migrated from hard-wired relay circuitry to microprocessors by
now.)
