For such a chatty community (H2G2) it is a bit quiet here.

Get Pastey on here because that will fill in those awkward silences!

We created this forum not just to provide a central 'talk about nothing' place, but also because we're going to be pruning some of the other forums (like the Don't Panic forum) and moving the off-topic conversations in here, so we don't have to lose conversations, just move them.
Just thought you should know that.

Pruning, amputating, exorcising, can all be good for healthy development. But deleting can sound a little bit like euthanasia

I watched the film 'Hackers' last night. It was s**t.

I thought it was quite good, but then I go for that teen angst gushing romantic rebellion kind of thing. I found the techno refererences the most amusing. The "Wow, jeez.." effect of a 28.8 modem etc.
Anyway, I've always wanted a funky hacker name like "Flaccid Vern"...

No hacker film will ever beat 'War Games'.
Noughts and crosses anyone?

Merkin Posted Jul 20, 1999
Totally agree on the War Games front. What was the Redford one called?

Wasn't that Sneakers or something?

hitman Posted Jul 20, 1999
yeah it was sneakers, that was crap as well, the only good film Robert Redford has done is Butch & Sundance

Always nice to know that the old noggin is still functioning! All I really need to do now, is remember something useful!

Of course not! After all, what would happen if these amazing conversations were lost to future generations? They'd be considerably saner, and we can't have that.
