Re: OT: Is Neo a Perl programmer?

Personally, when they were shutting down the power plant in Reloaded I actually said quite loudly, "Yes! They're using Linux and it's real!" because they were and it was. Obviously they weren't hacking Perl at the time, but surely if they're so proficient in the workings of Linux they're JAPHs, right? 'Twas a good day for cinema.

SMALL SPOILER Not only that, but Trinity uses Nmap to scan for available ports on a remote host, finds port 22 (ssh) and uses a program 'sshnuke' to gain remote access. Pretty cool attention to detail there even if 'sshnuke' isn't a real program. djw	[reply]

If they were so obsessed with details, you would think they might have casted a little better.... Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats. -Howard Aiken	[reply]
