Bruce Willis: "Die Hard 4.0" has "something to do with computers"

empireonline: What’s with the 'point oh' in the title?

Willis: “Well, it has something to do with computers…”

empireonline: Good, good. Now we’re getting somewhere. And is it true that you might kill off the vest-wearing icon in this instalment?

Willis: “I’ve heard that rumour! I like keeping those things a secret. But they didn’t want my character to be killed in Armageddon. It was in the original script, but once they saw the film, they were talking about sequels. But I was like, “I want to stick to the original script.” I don’t know what the outcome of Die Hard 4.0 will be. It feels like it should be the last one. Right now, if I retired the series, I would retire undefeated.”

Two books. "Hackers", chronicles the history of hacking when only good was ascribed to that term and. " Masters of Deception". Real life people break into the phone company. For extra credit, "The Cuckoos Egg".

:) I'll try those others-I used to work at the phone company.

Singlehandedly pick off 12 trojan viruses from inside a ventilation shaft?

Match wits with a 12-year old hacker intent on taking down NORAD?

Change a hard drive armed only with a plastic spoon?

Troubleshoot a network bottleneck while fighting a DOS attack?

I could go on.

I actually had to change a hard drive with a plastic spoon, pain in the ass, let me tell you. Maybe I can star in this movie! :D

Must have missed it.

Pure entertainment only.

The second one didn't even register for me, and I didn't even know about the third one. I guess I'm just not a fan of afterthought sequels to good originals.

Say whatever you want but I like Bruce Willis.

Not necessarily the best film with action in it, but the best film for the sake of action.

I do. But I'll let a few people respond, see if they know it. No cheating?

There's a scale, an empty 5 gallon bottle, and empty 3 gallon bottle, and a limitless supply of water. Put a bottle and EXACTLY four gallons of water on the scale.

How do you do it?

tare the 5 gallon bottle, then fill the 3 gal full of water. Pour that h20 into the 5 gal. Record mass. Fill the 5 gal completely and record mass. Subtract mass of 5 gal bottle, then take the difference in mass and divide it in half.

Right?

:smoke:

I should clarify a bit.

The weight on the scale needs to be the weight of one bottle, plus the weight of exactly four gallons of tap water, otherwise a bomb explodes and kills a bunch of children.

You now have forty five seconds remaining.

You fill up the 3 gallon jug and pour 3 gallons of water into the 5 gallon jug. This leaves 2 empty gallons in the 5 gallon jug. Then, you fill up the 3 gallon jug again and fill the 5 gallon jug the rest of the way. This will leave exactly one gallon in the 3 gallon jug.

You then empty the 5 gallon jug, and pour the one gallon from the 3 gallon jug into the 5 gallon jug. Then you simply add the remaining 3 gallons to the 1 gallon already in the 5 gallon jug using the 3 gallon jug. This will leave you with exactly 4 gallons.

:D

I don't think I could have figured this out under pressure (*boom*)

That's one way to do it.

Another:

fill the five gallon jug.

pour it into the three gallon jug, leaving two gallons in the 5-gallon jug.

Empty the 3-gallon jug.

pour the two gallons into the 3-gallon jug, emptying the 5 gallon jug.

refill the 5 gallon.

top off the three gallon.

that most people could describe what bruce willis looks like than they could their own father.

I watched the whole trilogy back to back last year...loved it ;)
