I wouldn't say 'lifted'. They were straight reading manifesto itself, not pretending that it's something else.

It's funny how the hacker says, "Cool" and the reader said, "Cool? It's not cool. It's commie bullshit."

Honest question: Which one is correct?

They’re both federal agents. Neither is a hacker. The guy that says “cool” is just more hip than the other one.

"You may stop me, but you can't stop us all."

Still correct.

It's up for you to decide

that's not a hacker but also an agent.

and a bit of trivia - person who plays him is Marc Anthony (musician, ex-husband of Jennifer Lopez)

ah, I was trying to place him. Nice one

> I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me...

> If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me...

> My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

These quotes are too individualistic to be "commie".

It may be cool commie bullshit :).

Oh, I see. That line was used in the movie posters at the time. Yep, true - it was based on manifesto :)

It’s entirely lifted/sourced in the movie. They read the last part verbatim in the movie in the scene with the FBI agents in the car.

The movie is underrated.

RISC technology is going to change everything. ;-)

RISC is good!

Every computer surrounding me agrees. Even the x86 ones, deep inside their execution units, agree.

> I was there... in the 80's...with colourful boxes, acoustic couplers, and pages and pages of phone numbers.

Good times. I still have my red box (modified radio shack tone dialer), although COCOTs have long-since gone the way of the dodo.

Man, I feel old now, the manifesto and similar documents to it pre-date the cheesy-as-hell movie by many years.

You're not old. You're elite!

Man I remember wanting to be elite more than anything. It always seemed like a binary function, you were either elite or you were a lamer.

Better get a nickname.
