But getting your car and license taken from you, thrown on the hood of a cop car and arrested (he would almost certainly spend at least half a day in jail because he'd be booked long before the mistake came to light), and having your credit…

I was actually thinking of specific hacks. They also dumpster dive, tap communication lines, and the finale is a glorified DOS attack. But those are more general tactics than actual "here's a neat trick you can do"s.

It's in heavy rotation on HBO, and I'll watch anything at least once.

Movies are a visual medium. What can you do?

Real hackers don't use keyboards. They have weird google/retina scanners for everything!

Urban Dance Squad. Haven't been heard of since.

Teenage Angie's pixie haircut is the correct answer. She was the best MPDG ever.

I'm still bugged by the wholly gratuitous nipple flash they made her do. Just exploitative sleaze.

Dade sets him up to get some annoying phone calls and marks him 'deceased' in his personnel file. Dade's hacks are relatively minor annoyances (some occasional phone calls and a…

They decided it was a tie, and then at the end, they give the win to Dade because it's the only way she'd go on a date with him. I call BS.

My VHS tape collection. Seriously, I taped every episode because I knew it wouldn't get past 13 episodes because everything I love dies a quick death.

Pushing Tin is where my childhood love of Angelina Jolie came to an end. Because that's where she met an asshole hillbilly twice her age, married him, and showed that she was just another actress with daddy issues. Sigh.

Archie.

I've always had a fondness for the actor who played Phreak, It's kind of disappointing that his film career never really took off. He had a great presence.

This RISC architecture is going to change everything!

Same here. Both get heavy rotation on cable right now, and if I catch either one, I'm not moving until they're over. Bishop tumbling over the bank counter and the reveal of Margo springing up in bed and Plague already being out the  door never get old.

Hackers Angelina and Foxfire Angelina are my favorite Angelinas. I kind of forgot how much she dropped trou in her early career.

They hated it because the movie hacking was a complete cartoon of real hacking. The only real hack in the movie was the phone phreaking, using prerecorded tones on certain phones to score free calls, and that stopped being possible years before the movie came out.

One of my favorite movies ever. So much better than it had to be, and so many things going for it.

To be fair, a barista could live in a Tribeca apartment. The actual tenants just can't find out she's camping there.
