Can they really be that bad?

[chrisjk]

What? LSD and Herion?

Well, they're a class A drug, so yeah.

Never Underestimate Radical Vision

Is that a movie quotation? I swear I remember it from somewhere.....

[chrisjk]

Butt fluff?? I've come across belly-button fluff, but not butt fluff!

You're telling me that a movie included real computer stuff????

[denniswrenn]

Yes..... Real HTML, real C++, etc... Very very surprising...

LSD: Good for cars!
Herion: Not Wonder Woman!

aaaaaaaaaaahaha

yeah shut up!

Did you know LSD is less harmful than ecstasy. But people commonly think the other way coz ecstasy doesnt usual make ppl insane or think they can fly!

Beacon: LSD can cause more harm because of "bad trips" where people gouge their eyes out and **** but ecstacy actually causes you to have a very high fever, around 108**ºf which kills braincells.

Siyan: Yep, I think the editor was MS VC++ too... 'Course they didn't show anything that would cause them to have to pay royalties.....

The interface they used with the "personnel files" sequences were GNOME-looking. They actually had the VB IDE open for one scene, but I can't be sure. Which was funny, because all of the code they were writing was Java. I thought a lot of that movie sucked (they had the "nurv" to put in a chase scene) and half the cast was a bunch of twenty-something actors you'd find in teenage horror films. Other than that, it actually had a plot, there were no "running through the mainframe building to throw the switch on the bomb" sequences like in The Net. It was about as technically accurate as it gets with Hollywood.

The entire thing was anti-Microsoft. They even had Scott Nealy (CEO of Sun Microsystems, Inc.) to make a cameo, and the Nurv environment reeked of a lot of the Microsoft-myths. The movie was, at least partially, to promote not only open-source, but anti-Microsoftism. They could've had the plot with stealing source code from Linux users and then killing them without making the blatant connection with MS.

All in all, though, it was a pretty fun movie to watch.

Wow, that was a broad spectrum . You went from the movie totally sucked, to its a fun movie to watch.

AntiTrust was one of the greatest movies ever...I'd rank it above hackers due to realism....not just odd characters on the keyboard...like hackers had crescent moons on the keyboard!

[aknisely]

I said a lot of it sucked; and yes, sucky movies can be fun to watch.

Erm, yes.

Dennis:
Your point?
LSD does fry your brain so does E's!
More ppl die from E then from LSD!
Part of the problem is that ppl think ecstasy is a safe drug which isnt true!

Ectasy is also makes you dehydrated which makes you want to drink.
So ppl either dont drink and die or drink too much water and f__k up there brains!

Plus you dont know what Ecstacy is made up of all the time: sometimes it's more speed based sometimes more heroin based. Perhaps even some ketamine thrown in most doesnt contain MDMA at all!

As with LSD, there is a chance that a small number of people may have strongly negative experiences, a few of these severe enough to need medical help. Also any psychedelic drug (including ecstasy) may tip people who have undeveloped mental health problems 'over the edge', causing the problems to appear sooner than they would otherwise do.

Hallucinagens usually do more harm to the user through the hallucination, rather than the chemical damage. But that's certainly not to marginalize the damage of LSD (d-Lysergic Acid Diethylamide).

Like other amphetamines, Ecstacy (3,4-Methylenedioxy Methamphetamine) has a far more catastrophic chemical effect. Severe dehydration as a result of hyperactivity is the leading cause of death associated with MDMA use.
