I didn't know you could use a VB GUI to track an IP address.

GUI interface using visual basic to track the killers IP address CSI

Seriously what morons write this shit?

Yea right I wrote a batch file using notepad to hack into a governments computer to steal secrets which I sold to the Taliban for £10000000.

Refalm:
The line in CSI actually goes to show how some IT people in companies can get away with anything, if their bosses don't know shit about computers.

In most series or films, lines are usually like this:
"All right, I'm going to uplink the LDAP server to the GPU mainframe, so we can get those automated database reports."
"God's speed young man."

To the average Pete, that likes series like CSI where complex know-how is converted into utter simplicity, those kind of lines sound pretty impressive.

The only film where there was something realistic in terms of IT, was in The Matrix, where an old ssh flaw was used by Carrie-Anne Moss' character to bring down the electricity grid.
Well, outside of films like Antitrust and Pirates of Silicon Valley, which were about computers.

Here's the scene:

Aloone_Jonez:
Yes, total bollocks. I should've gone into IT not engineering!

I would love it if MS could sue them for saying that but they can't. :(

Oh by the way my edted to your post was to fix my retarded spelling/grammar in the subject.

Lead Head:
You know what they say, "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit." Average TV viewer has no idea what they said, so it must mean they're smart, right?

Another movie where this is bad is the latest Die Hard. Push a button, divert an entire city's natural gas flow to one location. Yup, that is definitely how it works.

Aloone_Jonez:
I had to listen to it five times before I understood it. The combination of the heavy American accent and speed made it unintelligible to me, goodness knows how someone who's first language isn't English could understand it.
