I saw The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo last night, (very good, engrossing movie: I highly recommend it) and today it had me thinking: would real-life hackers be anywhere near as hot as Noomi Rapace in this movie? Here's what I mean:

I mean, come on.
Then I did a keyword search on imdb.com and found only seven titles that were tagged "female hacker:" Jurassic Park, (still trying to figure that one out), Max Headroom, Dragon Tattoo, the two sequels to that movie, Hackers, and The Net. For some reason this list does not include GoldenEye. She hacks a little bit in that movie, right? I plan on watching all of these movies and issuing a full report later this month, as well as seeing what I can find about real-life female hackers. If they're as pleasing to the eye as the Swedish actress above, this shall prove to be a very interesting assignment, indeed...
Sadly, I think they'll probably look more like another star of the same movie:

Tomas Kohler, aka the Swedish Harry Knowles.
But now I'm just being sexist.

What have I become, my Swedish friend?
