Sadly, I think that a lot of people would be worried about losing face, esspecially for a security hole like that. In the military there could be some severe consequences.
As for governments cracking down on P2P, that is the worst option. It is up to the military's system admin to prevent these kind of leaks.
It really depends on the outfit. Where I'm at in the military, we use various OSes. Windows, Red Hat, Solaris... For the most part, the OSes with out support are shunned for obvious reasons. Most specifically if things really crap out, there's some one to fall back on.
On a slight tangent, I do miss the fact that the military contracts everything out and develope very little of their own.
I heard something the other day I found funny:
Arguing on the internet is like participating in the Special Olympics. Even if you win you're still retarded.
Then again, I argue plenty.
While the mythological aspects of these movies/stories are apparent, I believe that their influence may be found a little deeper. Star Wars itself has little to do with Celtic mythology and seems to be more of a hodge podge of beliefs and spirituality. I think at the core is a sense of Taoism in the Jedi.
As for The Matrix, as I stated in another post, The Matrix does have a christian core, or at least an influence but I think it has more to do with gnosticism.
I'd definately agree with you on this. However, people just look at 1 face of christianity... I think it has more to do with gnosticism more than anything, due to it's reliance on mysticism.
Cipher is latin, as well as Lucifer. My etymology (sp?) isn't the best, but I bet they are related in some way. That's probably one of the more obscure references compared to the other more blatant (at least to people who have READ the bible) references.
The concepts of The Matrix are common to various spiritualities, but I think its roots are in christian mysticism.
I think Dark City is all of what the Matrix SHOULD have been...
The emphasis on guns was way too heavy. While I don't believe in the direct connection of gun heavy movies to gun play in real life, this movie does put an interesting spin in the whole argument. Here's these people that can do so much with their mind, just because they believe... Yet they still use guns guns guns. Dark City showed one man take on aliens that enslaved humans for so long and he won, becoming god-like in the aftermath. I totally see this as the path the Matrix series goes. If the gun play goes down in the next two movies, it may redeem itself in my eyes.

Who says Aramaic can't be funny?

Holy crap, do the Japanese just have more time on their hands than we do?

I'm talking about the core themes. The idea of rising above in a corrupt fake world with the power of your mind/soul...
