Julia Stiles is a Hacker

[TheChosenOnesAP]

Straight from xkcd

[coolabid007]

I love her!! :-*

[AviatorRaptor3]

LOL. She's come a long way ...from wannabee kid hacker to serial killer's accomplice :P She's so hot tho (I mean currently, not back then!!)

[k24601]

I'll agree with you on the half of the speech being made up crap and "New Wave" having nothing or very little to do with hacking but I thought hacking is featured a lot in cyberpunk. 

[Muad420]

xkcd sucks!

[mike201k]

LOOL

[BeamingSplendor]

this quality is terrible

[TheProffesor10]

no julia, sorry, i dont know cyberpunk...

[KoH4711]

The nose ring really just adds to her entire persona.

[kennbry345]

I love how she touches the computer...

[ChainX]

X K C D

[zimdelinvasor]

hahahahha

[MscBlggr]

LOL... terrible but oh so awesome.

[ahha6304]

short & easy, Happy 30th bday Julia!!

[WaveringInterest]

xkcd...yup.

[ThomasJAckerman]

Here from Slashdot. :-/

[63NY1]

and xkcd sent us all here. lmao

[kennbry345]

@63NY1 actually I watched this on sunday. My roommate got the whole series. Then I read it on Xkcd today.

[63NY1]

@kennbry345 nice. i dont rly know this show. lol

[binge011]

straight here from xkcd

[Crozonexz]

xdcd

[FoxheadGambler]

@Crozonexz xKcd

[guitarguy93]

A world where you're judged by what you say and think, not by what you look like? Heavens to betsy.

[astrosteve]

The audio's crappy so I can't quite understand all the dialog, but I like how they're almost making hacking a mystical thing. It's really obvious whoever wrote this didn't know a damn thing about hacking... maybe they skimmed Neuromancer real quickly or something...

[Anderkisten]

xkcd - amazing

[arenabrains]

Totally here from xkcd.

[ojiverdeconfleco]

@arenabrains xkcd ftw.

[RhacoD]

Julia Stiles better really hope the world never changes to care about what she thinks, instead of what she looks like . . .

[potatos6]

I lold.

[yvaes]

i'm so wowed by this monumental failure and epic success.

[BadHobbid]

[mickie825]

@BadHobbid L.M.A.O. thank you. thank you for making me almost piss myself because i was laughing so hard lol

[cckysc]

Man I forgot this show existed... I used to love it. .... and it had a sweet ass them song... ghost.... writer... :)

[fryersoncaptain]

Who else is here from the xkcd formus?

[FCcharrue]

@fryersoncaptain

haha! I am

[weirdo53]

@fryersoncaptain Totally here from xkcd. XD

[MamiYare]

oh snap i forgot julia stiles was in GW..woww

[NFM1337]

She's a real console cowboy.

[Sambucacat]

boy she really needs to unplug.

[crossmenjeff]

ghost writer, word...

[RedmageFoxx]

The computer screen's display is actually a piece of paper.

[ArmoredFelix]

I would hit that like the angry fist of god. Party Van or not.

[ccrun236]

I concur with the previous comment

[tradotvis]

xkcd shows me the best stuff

[SidinaD]

@tradotvis ha ha! same :S

[bummercucumber]

So bad, it's good.

[Foxicola]

hehe, but seriously, I saw this as a rerun when I was 9 and it's funny seeing what I couldn't understand back then. xD

[BooksMusicMe17]

Trying to know about hacking...then coming up with a load of totally unrelated stuff about music genres etc? WTF? But, like valdez87 said, it's so bad it's funny.

[valdez87]

O_o

I'd say this is the only bad thing I've seen Julia Stiles do (<3) but actually it's so bad it's kinda good, you know!

[plastikmaiden]

does she have a sock on her head?

[STUNTS1516]

i give you the first ever meme.

[StrikerSL9]

I'm still not certain why Randall Munroe finds this so funny.

Is it because Stiles is doing generic acting?

Is it because the writer is pretending to understand hacking?

What am I laughing at?

[TrustMeWithYourMoney]

LOL

[RockstarRacc00n]

lol, the XKCD guy finds the weirdest things....

[coolybell123]

Haha thats exactly why I looked this up!

[teelo12000]

Good ol' randall!

[Watermark0n]

The New Wave? The NEXT wave? THE DREAM WAVE?! CYBERPUNK!!!!

...

New Wave was a style of music. Cyberpunk was a literary movement. Next wave and dream wave was apparently something they pulled out of their ass. None of it has anything to do with hacking. *sigh*

[LinuxPython]

I fucking lol'd. So. Hard.

[chunksloth]

Cute jailbait is cute.

I'd let her access my hard drive anytime.

[hobosocks]

can you jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace?

[Moshpitdisciple]

What?

[DubstepAndy]

she was on myspace way before it even existed!

[TowerAddict]

I love Neuromancer

[eyesthere]

lol julia stiles so gangsta and got creepy with the computer.

[Kari166]

OMG I freaking LOVE YOU!

[greatsayain]

Isn't she a little young to read neuromancer anyway?

[FreedomGotAnAK]

Yeah, I thought that too, what with the Scarface rivaling fuck-count and one of the most graphically erotic sex scenes ever fit into less than two pages.

[greatsayain]

such lame child-acting. and she looks like she wants to make out with the computer when she says she isn't judged by how she looks.  Is that even a problem for Julia Stiles?

[sprjcube]

well everyone is judged by how we look, doesn't matter what you look like you will still be judged.

[greatsayain]

true, but i don't think thats a problem if the judgement is in your favour. I don't think anyone would judge against Julia Styles by how she looks so it's not a problem fro her. (ie the line is not beleivable)

[LordZope]

People sometimes think attractive people are less intelligent which would fit her character not wanting to be judged like that,

[vynl]

9 stars

[zomgtehrei]

/r/ a download, all links are dead

[docshakaloo]

yes

[frother]

neuromancer sucked Gibson knows nothing more about computers than can be inferred from the word "computer" itself

[leapoffaith20]

god i remember this show, i never knew she was in it.

[houseofbluez]

a 12 year old with a nose ring? how odd, she reminds me of sam from icarly

[matty0mck]

my pastime- since 1985- jamming with console cowboys

[DAblackdahliamurder]

THABTO!

[DragonHill87]

Oh, it's swimfan.

[DragonHill87]

what kind of touque is she wearing on her head? I remember those.

[Sepero1]

Yeah, because all hackers have nose rings, tatoo's and are into ska.

[BobTim]

Such a pity that I'm too young/sheltered to have known what a "hacker" was, or Ghostwriter.

...

-goes off to cyberspace to jam with the console cowboys-

[Woozleee]

Why is it that in the world of TV and movies the only girls who ever complain about how they look are always attractive?

Also, I think she was coming on to that computer.

[707nismo]

this show was waay of ahead of its time

[BrakBoy]

Can you jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace?

[blacksista123]

do u guys think julia stiles is pretty?

[Incredevil]

depends. i think shes not beautiful per se, or at least shes not what people would perceive as beautiful, but shes hot. shes really unique. thats what i think

[miku282]

no, she's not super 'pretty' but she's a pretty cool girl. and smart. and unique.

[Blissinflux]

Wow I feel old. And I'm not even 30!

[Timitheos]

man... julia stiles talking geek... so hot!!

[goosiegoose14]

I may sound like a total idiot but wat was ghostwriter? I was born in '93 and i guess i could ask my sister or google it but still...

[jtull89]

Haha, gangsta hacker kids. Somewhere, some writer of children's television shows is laughing their ass off.

[mustrapefoley]

ah.

the xkcd effect in action

[Jaccep]

Yes. XKCD has led many astray here...including myself.

[fuzzymonkey87]

me as well :)

[socialoutcast16]

Ditto.

[guilhermeuc]

yep

[mythricia]

me too!

[MooseOfReason]

"It's a world where you're judged by what you say and think."

Yeah, tell me about it. XD

[bsol07]

aw shes so cute

[mkr188]

LMFAO

[willivanilli07]

oh dear god. i didn't know i was that..awkward...back then. i used to dress and act like that. well, i didn't sound like a robot at least.

[boiledelephant]

..surely not the legend herself! What giddy diluge of narcissism brings you to your *own* video? Was your self-esteem getting too healthily developed and needed kicking?

[willivanilli07]

no. i mean i was a lot like her back then, down to the horrible clothes, except i didn't sound like a robot.

[grlgnius]

i used to watch this show religiously, and i can't even remember what it was about

[Damob1]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ha ha!

I'm so old.

[LambdaCalculus379]

Heh, watching this now makes me see just how silly Stiles' character makes herself sound with those comments. "Can you jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace?" Golden!

[DiscoDrgn8]

seriously, I lose it on that line every time

[brownsweetsugar]

lol...omg the computer screen, that's so funny. I love this show, I watched in on TVO religiously. I love how stupid it is.

[adek336]

Jam? The open-source build system?

[metaslugx]

Ahh... crap, i'm going to have to re-read my entire Gibson collection, lets see. sprawl 4 + bridge 3 + 2 new age. 9 books, and then I'll have to re-read snowcrash as well.

[xXxJeZuZxXx]

lolololol thx xkcd for bringing this to my attention

[chillidix]

Forgot how gay Ghostwriter was. I remember the episode where the guy got a modem... That shit is OLD

[m2m4m6m8]

Needed more cowbell.

[LunarGlow20]

lolz (the z is required for this)

[DoodleTaffy]

omd!XD i so remeber watching this,although not when it was on pbs,but on Noggin.now that i finally have Charter OnDemand again "Ghostwriter" doesnt come on Noggin/The N anymore!*bummer!*

[demexii1]

I thought she was going to start kissing it o.0 Ghostwriter was before my time...

[dackattac]

I thought this show was so cool when I was a kid. But watching this....

[drylips1]

Is she going to have sex with the computer or not?

[anneriyan]

ur great actress i watch ur movie the prince and me i love that movie very romantic

[flavourL]

I don`t think she`s ugly at all,she has charm,a very cute face and a proportional body

She does look Mongrel,she has a small nose,slanted eyes and high cheeckbones,like Samisk people

I think she`s very pretty and you haters should get a life.Thank you

[j03808]

Come, my fellow console cowboys! Let us jam, here in cyberspace.

[Threepac3000]

Only if we can ride the next wave!

[j03808]

While reading Neuromancer! William Gibson novels FTW.

[m0rtem]

that's fucking bad-ass!!

[wishfulspit]

Honestly, I'm not real sure what I think about this.

[geeseteeth]

hahahahahhahahaha

[hollywoodliberal]

love that freaky bg muzak

[mickijo24]

Oh my god! I loved this show!

[onlyplaytabs]

God damn i hate CBS. D:

[AthenaSyntyche]

I knew there was a reason that I fucking love her XD

[Rawru]

Can you jam with the console cowboys?

Watching this clip always makes my day better :D

[CaptainGhoul]

Oh man, no-fucking-way. Sometimes I miss the early 90s.

This is weird. And that whoever wrote this is so clueless just makes it that much more entertaining.

[KoH4711]

Whoever wrote this shit is fucking horrible and has no idea what he/she is talking about. At fucking all.

[rachelrose86]

Ghostwriter rocked. So many questions left unanswered. I can't believe they were canceled cuz of lack of funds. One of the best shows on PBS

[squ34ky]

Why doesn't she just draw her eyebrows on with a magic marker if she doesn't have natural ones? So freaky

[JCastellanoLanza]

Stiles is ugly

[bluesrunthegame]

Your comment has a rating of negative four at the moment. It's almost like people are persecuting you just for having different opinions. But wait...humanity can't be that close minded, can we?

[soccerfeva17]

yah, sure...but its only because what he said was mean, and quite frankly it pissed off a lot of stiles fans! so if he said that you were ugly...you would say: Your comment has a rating of negative four at the moment. It's almost like people are persecuting you just for having different opinions. But wait...humanity can't be that close minded, can we?

I doubt it...you would probably be pissed off 2!

BAM!

[PropMonkey87]

Maybe it was a poke at JC for being so close-minded that he cares about ones looks, and feels the need to express negative views about the looks of, say, the person this video is centered around?

[uruz88]

The people who voted against it would be people who think she is attractive. Therefore disagreeing and giving it a thumb down.

Psht at your crap, they are giving their opinion not persecuting his.

[KoH4711]

She is ugly. I agree with this man.

[CircleOfSignfighters]

Yeah I do too. Makes me feel old as ever loving hell.

[iceddust69]

haha i remember watching this

[fourouttheforty]

hahahaha 0:21

[benniquaid]

old school daps hahahahaha

[cederom]

lol

[SilasCrane]

True Julia fans unite!

Or don't. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. And did you see The Omen. She's just not very good.

[garfieldnodie85]

Omigod, Ghostwriter! That show was freakin awesome. I don't remember seeing this though. Julia rocks!

[pieboyaz]

julia looks half-chinese

[ProtusMose]

Needs more raptor

[lolablahblah]

gevurah...thank you, thank you

...this makes my soul happy...probably more than it should.

[MrNotkewl]

This needs better audio quality, but the funny thing is, I've heard it a thousand times and know the words by heart.

I can't stop loling every time I hear her name.

[frogger626]

Spell it with me now!

P-W-N-E-D! YAY!!!

[NN358]

Thats not Julia Stiles. It's her twin sister. Julia just took over after she died in 911. Do the research man.

[iheartsamwinchester]

Hey, do the research man. Julia's only sister is NINE years younger than her... Smart cookie.

[NN358]

that's what she said.

[ZombiePuppy]

What the fuck are you talking about?

Got source on that?

[tog000]

If you are a true Julia fan, you should already know the truth...

[ajsmcs]

I have danced with the console cowboys in cyber space.

[tomxginny]

LOL. this is funny.

she looks the same as she did in 10 things i hate about u

[thizzinmurf123]

i remeber this there olny one i like about the purpler doll n it was geting bigger i forgot what they called it

[dasoultube]

luv her

[r0ll3dd]

lol, how old was she here?

[ichbindaswalross]

12, I think.

[fezisindahouse]

lol

[rachelrose86]

Was that the "Max Mouse" episode? Or something like that?

[Falciase]

ditto XD

[Rhademanthus]

Yeah, I read Neuromancer about then as well... wtf was up?

Also, XKCD for the win.

[Bozeman42]

XKCD in teh house

[skooma728]

Chiba City blues...

[RTpanzertime]

I played the Neuromancer game, but I intend to read Snow Crash before Neuromancer.

I think about this episode every day.

[pseudodementia]

haha.. that's so classic... i'm stealing those lines mothasuckaz

[BatousaiManSlayer]

Oh, and thanks to XKCD for directing me here

[pseudodementia]

lol same here

[BatousaiManSlayer]

That's weird... I actually DID read Neuromancer around that age...
