    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)

   (...) 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)

   (...) 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
     (...) 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 (...)
