Among the most unlikely saves, that whole virus killing the alien network in ID4 ranks near the top. I was yelling at the screen when that happened (while the rest of the audience, i might add, was cheering). I kept thinking, "how could a conquering race that's thousands of years ahead of us have such a cheap ass firewall and suck-ass anti-virus software?" I also hate the If-the-Mothership-Goes-Down-Then-all-ohter-ships-die-because-they-draw-power-from-the-mothership solution. Bogus!
the save in ID4 is about as bad as Data putting the freakin' Borg *to sleep* to save the day in Star Trek. What?! A race of superintelligent, super adaptive cyborgs who learn from every race they encounter, yet their internal systems programming is so bad that someone can put them in Sleep mode in the middle of an operation, and *then* on top of that the system literally blew up from its non-stop repair cycle? WTF??? -------------- Original message -------------- From: "James Landrith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> What? Are you saying that one man, a Mac laptop and a few hours of virus coding couldn't topple the computer system of a technologically superior society of interstellar conquerors on the first try? You so totally have to know that Steve Jobs is an alien so Macs are, of course, compatible with all of the major Milky Way operating systems. I refuse to believe otherwise.

Ugggh! I get a kick out of over the top Hollywoodized, corny, scifi blockbusters. National Treasure, The Island, Transformers, Independence Day. See a trend here. You could not pay me to go to the Theater to see them. just laughing a some of the ridiculous science or the silly over the top lines is a hoot.
