      If only the would depict IT a tad more realistically… never seen a more hilarious hacking than in this show.

        Watched Nerve last night. They said because the game is open source, then can just make changes, submit them,then use a botnet to vote the changes into effect to crash the game… All within like 2 hours…

        Oh absolutely. I work in information security, and I definitely have a good amount of “but that’s not how it works!” when I watch it.

        But hey, it’s entertaining, and it’s not like other shows get it much better.
