Click on the keyboard twice, and enter the password "reload" to get to the new material. There's QuickTime VRs, on the set shots and most likely a slew of new hidden stuff. Happy searching."

Matrix III by SkewlD00d · 2002-02-23 02:56 · Score: 5, Funny

I bet the /. effect overloads the matrix and frees humanity. Oops, did i spoil the ending?

It sure is pretty but... by beowulf_26 · 2002-02-23 02:57 · Score: 3, Funny

"If I could choose the real world or the Matrix, I'd choose" the real world cause it doesn't make me gag on it's plugins.

Be forewarned, this page is plugin hell. In two minutes of browsing I've run into Flash, Quicktime VR, RealPlayer. The Matrix is a highly complicated thing I guess...

Doesn't matter, I'll still pay through the nose to go to any sneak peak and I'll probably see it in theaters at least 3 times as well.

It's ingenious... by Mahtar · 2002-02-23 03:20 · Score: 3, Funny

With the current catch-22 bandwidth dilemma most sites are having, this navigation scheme is absolutely ingenious.

Someone visits the site, realizes how pretty/cool/etc. it is, can't find their way around, ands leaves. So they get all the praise, without all the bandwidth!

One picture from The Matrix: Reloaded area:

A guy with a t-shirt that says "Pyrotechnician: If you see me running, try to keep up".

Webmaster: "What are you saying? That I can dodge a slashdotting?"

Morpheus: "No, webmaster, what I'm saying is that when you're ready...well, who are we kidding? You're doomed."

DMCA violation? by anthony_dipierro · 2002-02-23 04:32 · Score: 5, Funny

You just offered to the public a technology that is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a copyrighted work.

that lock fonts using CSS should be tied down while the tendons are ripped....

My old Slashdot sig had a simpler idea. Deprive every web designer of oxygen until his or her main page loads. If they die, they deserve it.

An Average Slashdot User In The Matrix... by sker · 2002-02-23 08:04 · Score: 5, Funny

Slashdot User: Oh shit, an agent. I'm trapped.

Slashdot User: Fuck no I'm not going to download a plug-in! This is stupid! Why can't it just be in HTML 3.2??

Matrix as a DMCA Metaphor by Anonymous Coward · 2002-02-23 09:02 · Score: 1, Funny

The way I see it, the Matrix is a metaphor for the DMCA. The Robots (IP owners) came and took control(via legislation) forcing us all into a pay-per-use model of an information economy that will be the death of modern humanity (the Matrix). Which means Slashdot (Zion) is the only hope, and damned if we're not championed by a guy who has nothing interesting to say (John Katz... er, Keanu Reeves).

Now I'm just waiting for Jack Valenti to show up and say, "Anonymous Coward, you will be assimilated." Oh, wait, wrong mythology. Instead, he'll say, "choose the red pill, or not. See if I care. Either way, you'll pay licensing fees until the end of time, or the airing Matrix XXV: The War Over Yet Another Copyright Extension, whichever comes first. Muahahahahah!"
