Interview with director & hackers wrt Hackers 20th anniversary http://passcode.csmonitor.com/hackers
The movie "Hackers" was released 20 years ago tomorrow. Here is the theatrical trailer
which punked theater goers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-H3YnCcrM0 …
"Chrysler’s patch must be manually implemented via a USB stick". Maybe hire the
hackers to help you out with OTA updates.
The call is asynchronous - it's just that the surrounding code doesn't have
anything better to do but wait for a response

Hacker News
@newsycombinator :On exploiting security issues in botnet C&C software:
Hackers “are learning that it’s not so easy to write secure code,” Toro says. “Most of us in the business of securing our applications and systems know that bulletproofing software is an extremely expensive and exhaustive undertaking. Malware creators who have to look to their own defences would have to slow down the production of new attacks.”
FYI, if you want to know what it looks like when you hack a hacker, look no further than the seminal 1995 film Hackers.
Does it betray my innocence that I’m shocked by the amount of exec($_GET you can easily find on github? Hilarious comment thread on hacker news:
This is awful. Shell commands are not guaranteed to be idempotent, people! These should all be of the form exec($_POST, not exec($_GET.
I don’t care whether the game is good or not, I just love this trailer. Make more trailers. Also 240kb should be enough for anyone.
You don’t use the same password over and over right? Let’s be honest this is the day and age of the hacker. Eclectic Method brings you “Hackers” , Hollywood’s celebration of basement dwelling 128 bit encryption masters. They’ll shut down before you can trace them, hack into the mainframe…
Hack the planet!
A python script that d3crypt5 the input pipe’s ASCII content from ASCII garbage slowly into the correct output.
cnet:
Mp3 playing retainer transmits music through your teeth:
Bone conduction audio, retainers, and shiny hip-hop teeth grills aren’t new inventions, but tech hacker Aisen Caro Chacin had the clever idea to put them all together.
The Play-A-Grill MP3 player prototype fits in your mouth like a retainer, shines on the outside like a precious metal rap grill, and plays music through bone conduction through your teeth.
Oh man, this would have made puberty just a touch cooler. Maybe.
I want to live in a world where coding is as awesome as it appears in the movies
We are live now! 
Nothing says "elite hacker" like sporting a pager 
Ok, Hackers watching party on September 15.
