Haven't seen Matrix Reloaded yet but, considering I'm new to this board (and don't want to read the other thread yet, I'm wondering what all of you think the first one is about or tries to say, or ask.

Anyone willing to backtrack a little and discuss this?

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.

In the second cube only one person survives it and then when it collapses she gets shot in the head.
edit: i got kinda confused as to how the greatest hacker in the world could be blind. What does she have a braille screen? do they make those?

braille keyboards... and does the monitor then talk to you and tell you what's on the screen? I've always wondered how a blind person would use a computer. You'd almost have to have some sort of voice action going on...

At the rate my myopia is progressing, I'll be blind one day myself. It would certainly help to know I wouldn't have to give up computing...

I believe Neo was chosen for his ability to put so much emotion into one-syllable words like "whoa."

platyjim: thanks for that info. So much for ever actually seeing the Cube now...

Very nice resource, InI! Thanks for that!

(My hope is that I'll never have the problem... as soon as LASEK is both guaranteed for my vision imparity, and also at least partly covered by insurance, I hope to not have to need glasses or contacts anymore... That could be years from now.)

specialpurpose: there's no such thing as thread degeneration in the Asylum, only thread metamorphosis.

I thought InI did a fairly good job, though.
