The problem with movies about "hacking" is that actual hacking is very boring, sitting hours behind a screen, learning trying. Any movie adaptation is going to be full or erors just because to make a movie interesting, they have to exagerate or jsut plain make hacking stuff up.

Looks interesting something actually based on the truth, something real rather then the rubbish that comes out of Hollywood.

Ionno, although short, have you seen the scene in the second Matrix when trinity hacks the power plant? It's actually moderately accurate.

I want one of those monitors that projects big green back-to-front letters on my face as I type.

If you watch 'The History Of NASA' backwards, it's about a space agency that has no manned spaceflight capability, then does low-orbit flights, then lands on the Moon.

Here. Get two and you can combine them to get 30,000 lumens out of the display. The letters may still be visible on your face even after you turn them off. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Holy sunshine, Batman!
Those things have 4 330 watt lamps. You do know that stage lights are about 900 watts a piece? Ever stand under stage lights? Ever stand under stage lights when they're less than 5 feet above your head? Those projectors could probably melt a wall.
