I remember watching Takedown back in high school, though my file was titled Hackers 2: Operation Takedown and that was my introduction to Kevin Mitnick. Saw him a few years later on TechTV, maybe The Screen Savers spoofing CID which led me into learning about Asterisk and IP PBX and FreePBX and other VOIP technologies. I had CID popping up on XBMC running on an OG Xbox back in 2009 before cable companies even had CID showing up on their boxes. It would even pause my media as the call came in or I could set it to DND and it would relay a message to the caller that I would call them back in %time_remaining_in_movie.
