[edit] dot-wrld?

When Angela searches for Praetorian, in the Jeff Gregg file is the email address JG@gms.wrld

[edit] Let's meet Wikipedias struggle to quality by wikifying

Let's wikify this. A wall of text hurts the eyes. Boring. Painful to read.

[edit] IP Address of Greg WhoIS Search

Does anyone know the IP address that Angela Bennett searches for on the software company's network? It was used for the whois lookup that she conducted during the building evacuation. I could have sworn I saw .345.200 at the end. Can anyone confirm this? -- Tuvok^^{Talk|Desk|Contribs}  18:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] on the beach

I removed "and some sort of connectivity device (perhaps an early cellular modem)." from where Angela is on the beach with her laptop because she says to Devlin, 'where can I plug in my modem', implying that she's not connected.

[edit] cultural references?

i'm just watching the film. there are some points i'm realizing:

• Angela works for Cathedral Software, somehow remembers me of the cathedral and the basar from e.s.raymond! Anyone else? (Well i don't know if that was published then yet, it could be a link nevertheless)
• The way the Gatekeeper Software gets adopted by everyone seems like when people and corps started switching from home brew (mostly un*x) systems to well Microsoft Windows platforms.

The ip getting whoised (at the end, in cathedralsoft at fake-Angelas Workstation) is 23.75.345.200 BTW.

Ah, finally! Thank you! I could have sworn I saw an invalid IP there. I suppose the directors wanted to make sure they didn't use a real IP. IPs only go up to 255. -- Tuvok^^{Talk|Desk|Contribs}  20:55, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong cast list

I edited out Christopher Lloyd and Gilbert Gottfried from the cast list, because they were clearly not in this film.--Ccoolidge 21:29, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Net DVD cover.jpg

Image:The Net DVD cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
