But have you tried that address 255.255.255.255?

I hear it's the Master Key to the Internet...

Could have just used class E addresses, at least then it would look intentional insead of brainless.

Yeah by using out-of-bounds numbers they avoid accidentally listing legitimate values who might get upset or free advertising

Almost ¾ of each 8-bit part! That's about 230x of the current space!

Oh nice those 40 bit addresses, just what we needed to spice up our IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack world

Fun fact: there actually is an IP version 5, and the reason we went from v4 to v6.

There's a great interview somewhere with the writers of one of these shows talking about how they knew this was shit and they had unofficial competitions with other shows to constantly one up each other on the stupidity.

I used to watch that show and it was always full of this sort of master hacker bs and I loved it - for a while.

This clip has I'm pretty sure the worst audio of all time, and not quality, were talking pure decisions. That sound has got to go, that's how you make vigilantes

It’s from FUBAR. I think they took the show’s name as a general directive.

Not a single mouse, cursor or command line in sight, but somehow they always type 84 letters per second, and get a flashy UI with animation, 3D models spinning, moving, zooming and morphing, or at the very least windows popping up and doing various stuff.

Just like in real life.
