said this to all of alt.hackers, and I have proof:

:       Just saw "Hackers", the movie.  It's about as close
to reality
: as "Ghostbusters".  Fun, but very, very light.

Fun?  Fun?

I felt insulted.  Worst use of celluloid ever.

Convincing my employer to buy me a P120 that I get to put Linux on.  =)
No, really...uhm...

ObLinuxHackInProgress:

I was trying to re-compile my kernel, to try out 1.3.15, and spent all
day running gcc and getting the whole thing compiled, (playing X-Com while
I did, on another machine, of course....) So, when I tried to install said
all-day-compiled-kernel, viola!  lilo says 'Kernel too big.' So, I tried
for a few more hours, using various remakes etc.....no luck.

I'll keep you posted.
