Almost Authentic

You get some great movies. Some that actually do research. Then you get some those almost-great movies that go almost the entire movie making you believe in a scenario that might almost exist. Take Die Hard 4.0 for example. The Firesale? Hmmm... maybe... and it even seemed plausible. Then there was the scene when they broke in to the main building and were stealing all of America's financial information. The dude opened a suitcase, plugged in the embedded computer and started copying... onto disk drives that had no cover... You could actually see the friggin' plates on the drive. Why? Why would they do that? When I discussed this with Jeremy, I came up with quite an awesome quote (if I do say so myself).
True authenticity lies in pleasing the minority.
In this case, the minority being geeks, cos that stuff matters to us dude. You can quote me on that btw.
