| May 16, 2019 at 18:22 | comment | added | Walter Mitty | Well, I liked War Games. My wife asked me if that was anything like reality. I told her it was right next to it. The kid with the acoustic coupler. The research software that is redeployed without surveying the source code, the bizarre near war scenario... stuff like that really happened! | |
| May 15, 2019 at 15:55 | comment | added | David Tonhofer | @jean I had that one, in the "fully red, no picture" Prentice Hall international edition. | |
| May 15, 2019 at 15:52 | comment | added | David Tonhofer | @WalterMitty None at all. This is a "electronic crime" movie as Hollywood sees it. The "Hackers" book is about the microcomputer revolution (quite good btw). To have realism AND crime, I recommend Jonathan Littman writing about the two Kevins (but I think at least Kevin Mitnick was unhappy about the Littman version; anyway avoid the Shimamura/Markoff writing under any circumstances). | |

| May 14, 2019 at 10:41 | comment | added | Walter Mitty | There is a book titled Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution. Is there any connection between that book and this movie? | |
| May 14, 2019 at 8:59 | comment | added | Aaron F | Yes they were! And thanks for reminding me that it's about time for my annual re-watching of Hackers :-D | |

| May 14, 2019 at 2:05 | comment | added | 比尔盖子 | It all depends on the context and subjects. For example, The OpenGL Programming Guide is also known as the Red Book in graphics programming, e.g. github.com/openglredbook/examples. Outside of computing, an example would be a series of color books from International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, that specifies various standards on chemistry researches. But in the context of information security, one can immediately recognize the DoD's Rainbow Series. | |

add a transcript (I would be grateful if someone could add the right names, as I'm not familiar with the movie)
