Now I understand that these crackers used a ton of illegal credit cards. What I want to know is, is it illegal to go to a company and say, we have found some problems with the security of your system and we were wondering if you would be interested in paying us to fix them. Now I'm not talking about releasing all of their customer credit cards if they don't comply... I'm talking about just asking for money to fix a problem. Is that illegal?
In the first movie, don't they take Neo's back plugs out??? They show this during the scene when they are rebuilding his muscles and he is waking up. Yet in Matrix Reloaded, his back plugs are shown when he's having sex. Minor flaw, but am I right?
The architect also didn't seem too concerned when something was said by Neo about taking away the power supply of the machines. The architect said "We'll survive in one fashion or another" or something along those lines. Perhaps the machines don't run on human power at all, because that's part of the matrix simulation as well.
Congratulations on figuring it out. Everyone I was talking to out of the movie theater didn't seem to get it. Anyway, I suspected that this was the case early in the film, but it was solidified when Neo was in the room with the architect, and it was showing pictures of Neo's life. One of the pictures was of Neo on the ship coming out of being plugged into the matrix... a picture that the architect shouldn't have had unless the "real world" was also part of the matrix. They could take the position that the Universe is simply a computer on a grand scale, but I imagine the "real world" is simply part of the Matrix, and both of which are machine controlled.

I recommend Xbox Tunnel from www.xboxnet.org. It's the best software out there
