Did anyone else spot the quote from Mark Russinovich's blog when Moss first appears?
Moss:
quote:
"You see the driver hooks a function by patching the system call table, so its not safe to unload it unless another thread is about to jump in there and do its stuff, and you don't want to end up in the middle of invalid memory.
Mark R:
quote:
"It's never safe to unload a driver that patches the system call table since some thread might be just about to execute the first instruction of a hooked function when the driver unloads; if that happens the thread will jump into invalid memory."

The blue crash screen on the title sequence is a Kernel panic on Red Hat Linux, as evidenced by it trying to run Anaconda to install things. Shame Neil Hannon's music uses a *Windows* error sound at this point of the tune...

yes... he does... you see it clearly on episode 5 sitting at the edge of the desk (almost a 'jumper' pose) and an earlier one too sort of on it's side, carelessly placed, like it was just thrown down...
