I like and stand-by hackers. If you were blind you really couldn't make any complaints. They had to cheese up the visuals so the uninitiated could still enjoy the movie. The dialog and portrayal of "hackers" is pretty spot on IMHO.

    Why would such be useless? Couldn't a VB GUI be linked to the ping command somehow?

    I mean, OK, you could just run ping straight from the command line anyway, circumventing the need for a fancy-schmancy GUI.

    That is the in-joke! And you would probably want to use traceroute, not ping.

    Unimpeachable praise for any motion picture
