When two Marines are accused of killing a third during a hazing
incident, brash young Lieutenant j.g. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) is
assigned the task of defending them. But to do that, he has to get
their base commander, Colonel Jessup (Jack Nicholson) to answer some
questions. Their confrontation produces an explosive finale. Also

An armed robber breaks into Karen (Madeleine Stowe) and Michael (Kurt

Karen...

needle (Zanzibar B McFate):
The number 65,536 is an awkward figure to everyone except a hacker,
who recognizes it more readily than his own mother's date of birth: It
happens to be a power of 2---2^16 power to be exact---and even the
exponent 16 is equal to 2^4, and 4 is equal to 2^2. Along with 256;
32,768; and 2,147,483,648; 65,536 is one of the foundation stones of
the hacker universe, in which 2 is the only really important number
because that's how many digits a computer can recognize. One of the
digits is 0, and the other is 1. Any number that can be created by
fetishistically multiplying 2s by each other, and subtracting the
occasional 1, will be instantly recognizable to a hacker.

tlouie (Tom Louie):
The object of my goals,
the source of my dreams.
An extension of my mind,
an agent of my will.
The result of my labor,
the finish of the race.
An end to my fatigue,
a start towards sleep.
