Is WARGAMES Possible?
|
|
BULLSHIT!

AN OVERVIEW BY

I know that all of you phreaks and hacks out there have seen the
|
|
"masterpeice" of a movie (HA) "WarGames." Whell, I don't know what you
|
|
people think, but as for me and the majority of the people I know, we say,
|
|
"That thing sucks!!"
|
|
You cannot expect anyone to be perfect, of course, but you can expect
|
|
someone to be a little more realistic than the producers, directors,
|
|
writers, and sanitation engineers who all put forth their various talents in
|
|
the making of this peice. (Of what, is left up to your own imaginations.)
|
|
To begin with the major clincher that pretty much destroys the whole
|
|
format of the entire picture, that ol' "SCANNING WITH THE ACOUSTIC MODEM."
|
|
Ahh, I do it all the time, don't you? Why couldn't they have just let Dave
|
|
have a direct connect, and have ol' Jennifer say, "what is that box?" Dave
|
|
would have replied, from his ever resourceful mind, from which such quotes
|
|
as "Only if you're over 18," and the ever popular, "Turn on the PRINTer, I
|
|
want to make a PRINT-out of this," (redundancy at its best, pholks), "That
|
|
is my MOdulator-DEModulator, it allows me to talk to other computers over
|
|
the telephone lines."
|
|
"Ahh, there's ways around that!" What an asshole. He looks like
|
|
he wrote the software used by the SCC's. Genius material. Just how in the
|
|
phuck does he accomplish this. This is just a minor quam of mine.
|
|
How about the idea that he can just waltz right into Protovision
|
|
and rip-off the shit that would see to it that "the world of computer games
|
|
will never be the same." WOW!! Where can I get a PRINT-out of that ad?
|
|
How about that school computer? I sure do like that password, and
|
|
the place that they keep it, (mine is in the back of the Main Office in the
|
|
Data Processing Dept. in a locked drawer, under three comp. language books in
|
|
a manilla folder marked, "Regional-Files Circuit 8.)" And that Seattle School
|
|
District computer is the most advanced peice of technology I have ever seen.
|
|
All you have to do, the minute you are in, is type in a name, and then just
|
|
move that little cursor on over. Neat.
|
|
Another little ditty, "what baud was Dave's modem at?" That muther
|
|
spewed out at about 2000, or something about to that effect. And his printer
|
|
was keeping up, or was it? (I wonder if he got a PRINT-out of "that"?)
|
|
Once on old WOPR (Brgr) I won't question the fact that he got
|
|
on it through a direct line, although it was supposed to be rerouted through
|
|
Sunnyvale at some Naval thing (I thought WOPR (Brgr) was an Air Force comp)
|
|
but I would like to know how in the hell he got through to such a dastardly
|
|
machine without having to cut into AUTOVON or FTS. I will quote from
|
|
NEWSWEEK/September 5, 1983 about such a deed:
|
|
"The computer systems of the North American Air Defense Command
|
|
(NORAD) are totally isolated from the commercial telephone lines to which
|
|
hackers have access, and the data they handle go through a complex coding
|
|
process. (They have the new data encryption algorythims, you'll never get
|
|
in.)... 'Hackers don't pose a significant problem,' says Donald Latham,
|
|
deputy under security of defense for command-control communications and
|
|
intelligence (C3I). 'The problem of being penetrated is essentially zero.'"
|
|
Poor guy, no penetration. Another thing how about those Hi-Res
|
|
pictures that WOPR (Brgr) sends over to Dave? Pretty, huh? And that
|
|
timer that keeps on ticking after Dave hangs up the phone? (Maybe its a
|
|
Timex.)
|
|
I like the feds acting so inconspicuous at the 7-11. I know that
|
|
whenever some dude I know gets busted, it is out in public by dudes in the
|
|
typical black suit and tie on a 100-degree day with huge hearing aids,
|
|
and noone even notices them. God, they are masters of disguise!
|
|
Telephone trick. Not even. Unless the coke tab acted as a 2.2k
|
|
resistor, which I seriously doubt. Even then he would have had to go through
|
|
the operator.
|
|
I also like how S.A.M. has its part in our National Defense System.
|
|
And how about the fact that it only spoke the incoming data, and not what
|
|
Dave typed. And of the incoming data, it only spoke the major lines, that
|
|
the directors wanted to improvise. I can see it if Dave had loaded the sayit
|
|
program into his terminal program, but as far as we know, he never had one!!
|
|
His modem dialed fast, didn't it? By any means, no call but a local
|
|
one could go through that fast, and the computer would need to wait a little
|
|
longer to find a carrier. Does yours hang up when someone answers the phone?
|
|
Mine waits for around 20 for even locals, and that gives the phools getting
|
|
my calls time to go a little crazy screaming "Who is this? What do you want
|
|
with me? Where did you get this phone number? I'm going to call the
|
|
police!"
|
|
Another thing, (this is my favorite, besides the PRINT-out shit).
|
|
Don't you like the way Dabney Coleman answers the phone? After letting it
|
|
ring off the cradle, he answers it "Hello?" Then he picks it up!
|
|
Slightly HUMOROUS, don't you think? A backasswards kind of a guy, that
|
|
Mikkitrick.
|
|
I think now that I have said quite enough to prove my point,
|
|
"WarGames is a completely sorry movie, and is utterly impossible."
