[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 2834808, member: 149"] Well they were essentially trying to "crash" the alien systems (always easier than actually doing something) and the aliens were estabished as using at least some "earth compatible tech" like the timing signal transmitted through the com sats. Plus, Jeff was supposed to be an uber hacker and they had access to an unsecured terminal (the fighter), it was reasonable within the constraints of the plot. So that aspect of things was no sillier than many other things in the film. Like the fact that they were using air to air missiles designed to shoot down lightly armored aircraft against a 26 mile diameter floating fortress capable of making deorbiting on its own. One could also view Jurassic Park as forsighted (it does take place at an uspecified time) given that the Mac OS is in fact now based on unix. I think you are kidding yourself if you think there are no 12 yr old female computer jockies out there, however rare they might be. [/QUOTE]
