I haven't seen Denis' version of the movie (I wouldn't try to download a
file of that size here, at work), but after I saw Michael's version, I must
admit that the text effectively seems to be still, while everything around
seems to bump up and down a little bit, I guess because of the hand's
movements. It would look like the text was overlaid over the physical mocku=
p
to make the illusion almost perfect.

C++ /C'-pluhs-pluhs/ n.: Designed by Bjarne Stroustrup of AT&T Bell Labs as
a successor to C. Now one of the languages of choice, although many hackers
still grumble that it is the successor to either Algol 68 or Ada (depending
on generation), and a prime example of second-system effect. Almost anythin=
g
that can be done in any language can be done in C++, but it requires a
language lawyer to know what is and what is not legal-- the design is almos=
t
too large to hold in even hackers' heads. Much of the cruft results from
C++'s attempt to be backward compatible with C. Stroustrup himself has said
in his retrospective book "The Design and Evolution of C++" (p. 207),
"Within C++, there is a much smaller and cleaner language struggling to get
out." [Many hackers would now add "Yes, and it's called Java" --ESR]=20
