Controlling the lights in a high-rise building to spell out a name
sounds an awful lot like Project Blinkenlights, which was set up a
couple of years ago by Chaos Computer Club in Germany.

BTW, my vote for worst movie of all times would have to go to "What
about Bob?" for very personal reasons.

I think it was "Hackers" where the kid "hacked" the individual room
lights in 
a series of high-rise office buildings to spell his girlfriend's name.
And I 
seem to remember that they "hacked" the sprinkler system at their high 
school. Funny, I always thought that high schools kept their sprinkler 
system's central mainframe under armed guard, requiring a thumbprint to
gain 
admission.

My vote for stupidest movie.
