[LongCoolMother]

[isasir]

Perhaps they were trying to avoid any potential lawsuits from the owner of any real IP address? :sun:

 

[Zenmervolt]

That's probably for the same reason that all phone numbers on TV are 555 numbers.

Ha! Oh well... Sometimes I think Hollywood doesn't even want to get it right. Maybe they got sick of all the geeks going "WTF! WTF!" and now they are just out to annoy us all. Of course that would require work so the theory is doubtful and it violates Occam's razor but still...

Would you have preferred a 192.168?

Doesn't matter. I believe 192.168.XXX.XXX is for personal use and really isn't owned by anyone.

that would also spark a bunch of wtfs too. They could always use the production company's IP...most of them have servers.

They didn't want any of you geeks trying to break into that ip address.

 

[chiwawa626]

Even if they did use a real ip what kinda nerd is gonna ping it or haxor it?...lol

They're called private IPs. 10.x and 172.16.x.x are the others.

I think the best example of W T F computer-related thing was in BOILER ROOM, the FBI dude asked Giovanni Ribisi to backup his whole harddrive onto a floppy. Now THAT was a good one.
