You scared the shit out of me, I thought someone, somehow, somewhere hacked a military satellite and BitTorrent was involved. That would have screwed our pooches, even with the technical impossibilities.

Torrent Freak TV has improved over the pilot.

The host seems more professional. There are less technical problems. The stories are more interesting,

How many movies can you name that actually display real hacking methods? You don't, because somewhere in the world the nerdiest motherf*cker will be watching, he will get a nose bleed over hacking codes, and the movie would get sent back to the lab.

Unless, of course, they make it sly enough. Did anyone confirm whether Trinity actually uses a hack in the power plant scene? Prove me wrong if you wish.

It never surprises me when people post dumb ass comments like this =) Because most of them are simply stupid.

Don’t u remember the hack in “Clear and Present Danger” ? When the guy just tries different variations of information to find the right password lol. I think it was wife’s year, kid’s day, father’s month, twice reversed, or something to that degree.

not really a hack i guess…

@33:

The Hackers movie came to mind when I read the story, but there was another bit I thought of – a Dilbert cartoon where the PHB tries to use his laptop to land the plane he’s aboard. It of course crashes.

I have hacked the internet and downloaded it to my computer. I will be putting the BT up on mininova later if you want it back.

Kee-rist! Anyone worth his salt knows that hacking via MAC or Windows is for kidz.

Real hackers use rTorrent.

Maybe it was an homage to the BT community by the editor/post production staff or prop guy? Let’s look at it as a silent protest of the MPAA from whomever was responsible for it. I can’t imagine that someone would specifically find and use this client – they had to have known about it before hand.
