NODE 7f853654(Noise) X-Files anarchist
dsc@swcp.com (Dar Scott)Sat, 16 Sep 95 08:57:10 PDT
I hardly watch TV ...blah, blah..., but I saw X-files last night. A very
minor character was a cryptohacker who--to his surprise--brute-forced a
military key for some files. He was described as an anarchist.
To _my_ surprise, this anarchist was not associated with violence or
lunatic ravings. He was shown as reading a book entitled something like
Survey of Modern Conspiracy Theories. I see this as an improvement in the
stereotype of computer-associated anarchists. And this I see as a good
thing, since I think there is a lot that could be learned from anarchists.
I think the character was killed, but I may have missed something.
