This is really slow for me on my laptop. Does it need a P6 to run? I heard those have a killer refresh rate.
You need to run it on a RISC architecture, but that would be too much machine for you.
It may or may not change everything.

#22"Okay, we need proof that we were here... right uh... Okay, yeah, Garbage, gimme Garbage." My wife and I both love this movie. I thought it was cheesy and unrealistic when it dropped, but it's reflective of a mid-90s era when technology was something to be excited about and there was a lot of hype about "cyberspace" and such nonsense. That's also when I got into internetworking, Linux, and all that stuff. And electro…
As far as 90's cyber films go it was probably The Net that had the most realistic vision of the future. Workin from home, ordering pizza.

#23The Gibson! Very cool. did you make this? I made a Tron lightcycle game: https://new.af/tron Now that AI accelerates dev so much, I suspect we'll get to see a lot of cool throwbacks.
That runs super smoothly!

While we're at it, I remember an atari st game that was like the tron lightcycle as "Trek4".
Did it really exist ?

#27Hack the planet. This is such a call back and what a nice touch to add the sound to it too. That whole OST is incredible, I still pull orbital and prodigy into my current work playlists. What a fun movie.
I hated this movie the first time I watched it. And the second. The third time I let go of the need for things to be realistic and took it all in as an artistic representation and snap ... I loved it. One could argue that I loved it all along given that I watched it so many times... but there was a distinct moment where I let go and that's when I was able to see just how wonderful this movie really is.
I've flipped that switch for book adaptations.
I let go of fanboying on what Hollywood "did to" the story and instead just decided to be thankful something I love was given a new medium / audience / interpretation... and voila! now I have two things to love.
It's still fun to point out where things could've been done differently, but instead of actually disliking the film(s) because of those things, it's just another mechanism that lets me talk to my friends about something. Much more fun than riding home in silence in any case. ;)

#28Sadly, looking through the code, doesn't show up any "GARBAGE" file easter egg to be found. Amazing stuff, nevertheless!
Thanks, I've been looking for 5 minutes and was about to rewatch the movie to see where it's supposed to be !

#29I highly recommend the 88 films 4k blu-ray release for those who love Hackers. I recently was able to purchase an unopened VHS tape as well. I have a brand new VCR coming so I can have a proper experience.
