    Re: If you watch Matrix2.0... —Bruce Schlickbernd
   (...) Just tell 'em the reason: at the very end it shows scense from The Matrix Revolutions. I stayed just anticipating that very thing (I once put a power-up in a Nintendo game at the end of the game credits that you could see by ducking into a (...)

        Re: If you watch Matrix2.0... —Matthew Miller
     (...) The credits are *really long*, and I'm sure that we'll be bombarded with Matrix Revolutions ads plenty enough in the coming months. Just to offer a counterpoint here. The movie rocks, though -- didja see the part where Trinity uses nmap and an (...) (21 years ago, 19-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: If you watch Matrix2.0... —Erick Jensen
      (...) Slashdot.org has screen shots of that scene. Intresting they used a real 'hack' if you want to call it that. I like the Hackers type of hacks, where cartoon skulls attack a system shaped like cubes. Yup. I can't wait for the animatrix to come (...) (21 years ago, 19-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: If you watch Matrix2.0... —Matthew Miller
     (...) An oh-so-real hack -- we've had quite a few systems here compromised in that exact way. I'm pretty sure that this is an all-time first. (21 years ago, 19-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: If you watch Matrix2.0... —Dan Boger
     (...) tsk tsk - not keeping up with updates? :) but yes, it was cool. insecure.org is collecting screenshots of that scene - understandably. When was the last time an opensource project (nmap) was featured on a big budget movie? :) Dan (21 years ago, 19-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: If you watch Matrix2.0... —Matthew Miller
     (...) We've got a lot of bad/lazy/untrained (take your pick) admins. The cool thing is, if it's an Intel box, the security team pretty much swoops down and tells them: wipe this and install BU Linux, or else lose your network connection. (...) Gnome (...)

      (...) I forgot - you're in an .edu environment :) (...) doh - always wanted to see that, but never got the chance. Dan (21 years ago, 19-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
     
          Re: If you watch Matrix2.0... —Matthew Miller
      (...) Yes -- always an adventure. :) (...) It's not actually a good movie, per se. But it's worth watching if you're a geek. Which you are, so.... :) The Matrix thing was much more realistic technically. Heh. That sounds really funny to say, but (...) (21 years ago, 22-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: If you watch Matrix2.0... —Erick Jensen
     (...) Just to keep this thread going.... Antitrust, I would hope featured some sort of open source software. The whole plot was about a major company stealing open sources and using them for their own profit. And the ultimate slam being that the kid (...)

         Re: If you watch Matrix2.0... —David Laswell
     (...) Why not? I remember reading an article about how Google saves info on every search you make. And doesn't Billy have his hands in that cookie jar too? (21 years ago, 22-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: If you watch Matrix2.0... —David Laswell
   (...) No way! It's not as fun and it doesn't allow me to make semi-obscure "door" references. And it's not as predictable as you seem to think. I know a lot of people who suggested watching all the way through the SW:TPM credits, and that was just (...) (21 years ago, 19-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: If you watch Matrix2.0... —Bruce Schlickbernd
   (...) Too late: I told 'em. (...) I didn't say it was - I just thought it likely. But I'm not the average movie-goer (I actually sit through credits to see who did stuff on the film, anyway).
