cracked.com — Has your mom ever called in a panic, saying the computer was displaying a weird error message and that she hurried and unplugged it just to be safe--and then dunked it in the bathtub so it wouldn’t burn the house down?It makes you realize that, to some people, a computer is still a terrifying box of mysteries.

Okay, I"ll explain. The school he runs into is El Segundo High School in El Segundo, Ca, my alma matter. If he was playing Galaga before class, he could only have been up the street at the local liquor store Hollymain. It's called Hollymain because it's on the corner of Holly St. and Main St. I played a crapload of Street Fighter2 and Mortal Kombat before and after school there. had lots of snapple and hot dog deals (2 for 99 cents).

Wow, they managed to make it look 'less' impressive than if it'd just been a giant block of text. I loved how he had a terminal open for just a few seconds, and it was this tiny little box.

Seeing a cool movie at the theater: 8$Tweeting about a movie you saw: Free with a good mobile planGetting to have a computer like the one in these movies: pricelessI personally want the computer system out of Swordfish the most. Still one of my favorite hacker movies of all time!
