Since when does a "concern for one's image as a professional" affect how one reviews a movie? I agree with a previous article; for decades now movies have been misrepresenting policemen, firemen, airplane pilots, and lawyers. This is called "artistic license." Since when are we programmers exempt from all this? If we are all going to scream and complain about the unfairness of our misrepresentation, maybe we aren't any better than the overacted, vain, and defensive computer hackers in the movie! --flame; proud to be what I am despite misrepresentations, Charley Kline, U of I CSO.
