I saw Antitrust last night, and it was awesome! The technical accuracy in the movie is incredible. They use Gnome desktops in all the comptuer screenshots, the commands he uses in one part of the movie are real commands and they output real responses. The code is quasi-real, as there are some problems with it, but at least it looks like real code. I was trying to read the HTML in the title sequence in my head :). There is also a cameo by Miquel, the guy who heads up Gnome. And best of all, it pushes the open source philosophy and makes "Microsoft" look bad. Antitrust is definitly the newest geek cult movie.

I ordered my Reverse Engineer shirt and Penquin mints today. They should come in sometime around Friday.

Just when you though Orlando couldn't get any more tacky tourist traps, along comes a Christian themepark. Will wonders never cease?
