One of the things that's unnoticed by all but true geeks is that when two of the protagonists sit and have a chat, they're actually sitting on a Cray Y-MP. And it's never mentioned.


Yeah, I just checked the movie, at 1h:03m, they are indeed sitting on it, I snapped a screenshot @ http://i.imgur.com/xb8E2zn.jpg


Colin, and it was here, we heard it first:

"...of Gaussian proportions!"


Just watched this movie and thought I would share it with HN. Talks about pen testing, computers, crypto/nsa, espionage, and hacking back in the day ;)


My fav movie
