   Now hang on a second! 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!
