I still remember this science fiction movie from when I was a kid.
Time travelers. At the end of the movie, you realized that they were
ending at the point where they were started, stuck in a loop, oh no!

and here we are at mmap again.

I wish I could remember. It had the usual guys in silvery suits. They
walk through a frame and are back in time. Key point was, at the end,
that they ended up escaping but for reasons unknown, walking back
through the frame -- bad idea.

Is it worth adding that in Inferno all libraries are shared as is all
of memory - seamlessly and safely? Always has been - always will be.

And there is no bloody mmap() in sight.

Also I believe that every bad science fiction movie is analogous to a
computer science moral play. And the more the movie tries to make
sense the bigger the lesson to be learnt. Of course Plan9 chose the
worst movie for the best lessons-that-have-been-learnt.

Just making it up - I seem to be the last foreign 9fan in town.

I don't want to imply that Ron is quite such an old fart as me, but
somehow I don't get the impression that he was a kid in 1981, when
"Time Bandits" came out. Ron, if you could give some clue as to when
you saw the movie, I'm pretty sure that the group could mount a
co-ordinated effort to identify it.

Sounds like The Time Travelers

Re: [9fans] mmap

[Charles Forsyth]

"time travel" plots reminds me of an obscure but splendid czech film that i've only seen once
http://filmjournal.net/czech/2006/09/18/tomorrow-ill-wake-up-and-scald-myself-with-tea/
but have yet to find on DVD. it is very funny.

It had to be 1963.

I am doubtless older than you, my common experience nowadays is being
older than everyone.

But so much more charming!

I think the movie is The Time Travelers.

I remember seeing it in the early 60's.

Maybe I'm getting too old... Hey you kids! Get off of my lawn.
