Hi,
	As there is a definite link between reverse engineering and our
multimedia research, I thought I would mention this: Reverse engineering
is finally getting the Hollywood big budget blockbuster treatment it so
richly deserves. Check out the trailer for "Paycheck":

http://a772.g.akamai.net/5/772/51/30378f1c0dfafa/1a1a1aaa2198c627970773d80669d84574a8d \
80d3cb12453c02589f25382f668c9329e0375e81787e85abb28970c7aee1d8dee67ca3297fa65/paycheck_m480.mov


It stars Ben Affleck as "Michael Jennings, the best reverse engineer in
the world". No, I'm not making this up. And it's a John Woo action flick
of all things. You figure it out.

	Anyway, I finally posted a new multimedia exploration journal
entry, 3 of them, in fact:

Since I know some of you enjoy reading them. As a bonus, I am also trying
to get some of these old titles to work under Wine, you know, just to see
if they work under Wine. I am having terrible luck so far. I must not know
how to use Wine correctly.

	Which is too bad, because I have some ideas for instrumenting the
Wine code to help in reverse engineering.

	Have fun...
