Top ten things I learned from The Matrix:
10. Software architects are a cryptic and egotistical bearded bunch.
9. Stray DLLs will not only crash your software, they will hunt you down on the freeway in white dreadlocks.
8. If the bullets don't get you, the rebar will.
7. Last-minute workarounds are no substitute for a good antivirus program.
6. Neo is able to move faster than the software because the Matrix was built on Java.
5. We laughed when computers took up entire rooms -- in the future they'll be the size of cities.
4. Human beings are Plug and Play.
3. Even French software can't be trusted.
2. Parking spaces in Zion are as furiously guarded as those in Somerville.
1. The Matrix has needed to reboot six times. Clearly this is a Microsoft product.
