Hackers - Wizards of the Electronic Age [Uncle.X]

Hackers is a classic documentary about the midnight programmers that created the personal computer revolution. Hackers is not about malicious code-crackers. It is about a "hacker ethic" that led to major breakthroughs in technology, and forever changed our world. From the first MIT hackers to popular Silicon Valley inventors, this program covers this fascinating cultural phenomenon through interviews with twelve of its early pioneers. This half-hour program features conversations with: Steve Wozniak, designer of the Apple II; Andy Hertzfeld and Bill Atkinson, designers of the Macintosh; Homebrew Computer Club leader Lee Felsenstein; MIT hackers Richard Stallman and Richard Greenblatt; and many more. Hackers was produced over a decade before the advent of the Internet. All interviews were shot over a long week-end in 1984, at the first Hackers Conference, hosted by Whole Earth Catalog editors Stewart Brand and Kevin Kelley, in Sausalito, California. This event was inspired by Steven Levy’s classic book Hackers – Heroes of the Computer Revolution. Running time: 26 minutes

I've been seeding this for a few days now, but since it's quite a hassle to view or convert it, I will stop seeding it.
If you ever decide to convert it to something that works outside Linux, I'll be happy to seed that. Sorry, just a bit too lazy to boot into Xubuntu for just one movie. If you have recommendations then bring'em on.

Is it just me or is that kinda funny?
We got a person (nunchuck) who downloaded a hacker/ing related video and claims that uses a Linux distro, and he can't even download the vlc player to view it in any OS.
idk, it's just hilarious to me...
