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...

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'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.
