It sounds like we could set up the drinking game in advance of the film:
Take a drink every time the protagonist brute forces a password in 30  
seconds.
Take a drink every time the characters say "Mainframe" when they're  
talking about computers.
Take a drink every time there's a fancy graphical interface for login that  
looks like 15 seconds of work in Flash.

Repeat ad nauseam.
