On hacker movies:

I can't take them seriously.

Now, let me clarify... Swordfish is one of my favorite movies of all time. You have a bad guy who, in general, follows the Evil Overlord Rules. You have HUMAN CLAYMORE MINES (this one I can't stress enough). You have Halle Berry's naked breasts. You have Hugh Jackman. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED

Note: I'd also say that cyberpunk-type movies get a free pass, due to the whole sci-fi/suspension of disbelief thing. Though, to be fair, most of those are actually MORE believable than most supposedly realistic modern-day hacker movies... >.>

Sad but fact.

Hm. Sounds like an interesting comedy. I may have to check it out with a non-geek friend so I can berate it the whole time and have them go "wha..."?

To be fair, if you set up a proxy site that routes all requests to a Tor rendezvous point leading to the real server, you wouldn't be able to track down the real server, even if you compromised the proxy. Not that the writer will bother, though...
