Very interesting interview of an Hollywood consultant (and former FBI
agent) about the facts in the movie 'Untraceable'. Among the many
technical details, I note:

> Q: Any other elements in the movie the naysayers may call you and
> the writers out on as being technically inaccurate?

> A: The IP addresses in the movie are not real, for obvious
> reasons. You can't use real IP addresses, because it will point to
> real IP addresses. It's similar to the 555 area code for phone
> numbers in movies.

Does the movie uses RFC 3330's 192.0.2.0/24? :-)
