"This is our world now. The world of the electron and the switch; the beauty of the baud. We exist without nationality, skin color, or religious bias. You wage wars, murder, cheat, lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto." Huh? Right? Manifesto? "You may stop me, but you can't stop us all."

Yup, romantic.



"That's cool"

"That's not cool. That's commie bullshit"


Where is this from?



This exact quote (with the "Huh? Right? Manifesto?" bit) as well as mindcrime's reply is from the 1995 movie "Hackers" [0] which, while full of hollywood absurdity, has a touch of more "real" references like the quoted manifesto that give it a nice charm.

"Yeah. RISC is good."
