As someone who's on a career path to becoming a systems/enterprise architect, I find it encouraging that the competition cannot even spell architect....
I dont understand you people.. you claim to be computer/sci fi buffs, yet you fail to grasp concept even the remotely intelligent viewer should have gotten.... Neo does NOT have any supernatural powers in the real world! If you'll use your eyes, you'll notice he only has power over the machines, which he gained by coming in touch with the source. Basically, he understands the system the machines are running on. Through a latent connection to the matrix and therefore to the machine's network, he can mentally hack into any system of theirs. You'll notice all the sentinels have transponders. Hack into the sentinels, input self destruct codes, and boom, you're there. The same works in reverse for Bane. If the matrix can project a digital world into our minds and interface digitally, then the virus Agent Smith can infect real world minds. Once again, the mirror image of Neo and Smith, doing the exact same things, all within the theoretical laws of science. Watch it a few more times, pay attention to the computer world allusions.. everything makes sense if you look at it from a hacker's point of view.
All extraordinarily excellent points. To add one more thing, methinks you should be rewarded for processing more "units"; the more cycles you give, the more music you can download.
