Aside from all the "Dances with Jurassic Alien Giant Smurfs" comments...
I do believe this movie could be inspirational (somewhat) to some future
slashdotters... whatever all the people complaning says... I think it is
a beatiful example of what can be achieved pushing current state
of the art technology...

Nevermind it might be an overblown cartoon or whatever... but being
a fan of sci-fi I do think the cool-factor and wow-factor for a kids that
watch this card is going to nudge just a few select few into computers
or tech-related paths some time in their future just as many of us
older ones were nudged if ever so slightly towards cool tech stuff
by all the start trek and whatnot stuff on tv back in the days :)

So, I grant it might not have the best plot in the world... but I
bow my head to it because of the cool factor and how it might
inspire lots of kids to say "wow, they did that with computers?
I want to do that"... then again, once they bump head on with
all the math requirements and get discouraged once they
realize the big bucks are in being a boss and doing business
management or whatever they might ditch the idea... but still...
if you can make a few kids dream of the future... a good future...
it is worth it I say...

hey hey hey...
remember apprenticeships usually start out focusing on boring and unpleasant tasks...
you cannot be a master carpenter if you cannot sand a board smoothly with your
eyes closed with both hands tied behind your back while holding the sandpaper
with your teeth...

or something along those lines...
remember the germans are the best known for doing assembling and putting
together and designing the best machines ever... and guess what the
new people must learn before going up the higher strata in their hierarchy...? :)

"That is a critical office desk that must run 24x7. You would have to rebuild the desk in a new office, re-route the transactions
to the new office, shutdown the old office to have a locksmith recover the key (in single user mode)."
