With the computer market exploding into success the last 20 years more and more movies are featuring people using computers. Being a computer geek myself, I expect a level of "technological reality" for the movies that are not in the realm of "sci-fi", but directors usually are feeding their movies with superficial scenes about computers just for the happy clapping from the computer-illiterate audience.

Ok, so we like seeing real computers at use in our movies and real operating systems. But they don't want kids to go out and try and get the same program or do the same exploit. After hackers the movie came out there was a hugh jump in script kiddies getting caught doing things. Before that, hacking wasn't apart of the evening news till kids followed what they saw and did stupid stuff. And the IP thing, come on, its the same reason they use 555 in moves for telephone numbers. They don't belong to anyone, so people wont end up calling them, or trying to hack a certain IP address.
