Marshell Pentfield: Yes, it does. "Johnny von Neumann", the old three man gunfight.
Colby Granger: A mathematical gunfight, huh?

Amita Ramanujan: Tal Feigenbaum is easily as good a hacker as Augie.
Charlie Eppes: Yeah, he's probably trying to … decode the backdoor, too.
Don Eppes: You know, what if he's not trying to hack Augie? I mean, what if he's trying to find him?

If two boats meet in the middle of the ocean to swap a load of illegal drugs, you have to catch them in real time, otherwise there's no evidence of the meeting left behind.
Charlie Eppes: No names, no accounts, no records of exchange.
Don Eppes: Well, how do they see each other?
Amita Ramanujan: Online names.
Don Eppes: Okay, so what, we've got "the_fist", and, and … what's Augie's?
Amita Ramanujan: [points at the website] "00zemeister". I'll set up an alarm to alert us if either name enters an IRC channel.
