When Neo gives his homey the disk in the first matrix... what do you think was on that disk?

It was probably Napster.

For that matter, why would there ever be fat people inside the Matrix? If you are living inside a computer construct, wouldn't it serve the computer to have all of its energy cells working at maximum capacity?

But wouldn't it piss you off if, inside the Matrix, you were a professional athelete, and then you woke up and you looked like diabetic skinhead?

Switch annoys the shit out of me.

"Listen to me, coppertop, we dont have time for 20 Questions."

Neo shoulda been like, "Well I've got Napster, and if you dont play I won't give you any free music, skankface." like in a real whiney voice. woulda been funny.

Let's say, for example, that inside the Matrix you have recently lost a leg in a freak gardening accident. Do the robots come down to your little pod and cut the leg off the real you? Or is it just the Matrix screwin' with your mind?

What happens if you 'awaken' without anyone knowing about it, do you just get flushed with no one there to rescue you? Swimming around in goo until you drown?

Also, why would the computer send the Smiths in the first place. If the program can make subtle changes to anything in the Matrix, then why doesn't it strip someone of their super-abilities once it locates them? How about at least slightly debilitating them, like running them through some kind of deja vu loop?

look at it like a computer program. The matrix is your hard drive. The people are pieces of software... like internet explorers.

The internet explorers are going to do things to enhance their pieces of the drive, and their programs themselves. You need other programs (consider shit li ke Ad-aware) to go through and clean shit out.

Not only that, but why would the Creator program allow that many variables in an otherwise complete program? A brilliant super computer of the future seems woefully incompetent if it can't locate anomalies in its own makeup. Much les a few thousand loud-ass, cave dwelling, patchouli-smelling, nudists. Shit, Tron was a better representation of how a computer would think.

They're using a pirate connection to get in, so the Matrix has no control over them, and thus can't do things like that to them.

Yes he fucking is. Doesn't help that he replaced the ONLY likeable character from the first movie.

Also, there's no point in trying to rationalize the inner workings of TEH MATRICKS. Doesn't make a lick of sense.

TEH MATRICKS sucks.
