Disney and its propaganda against open source in a teen comedy

And to think it ruined an otherwise brilliant teen comedy. Next week it'll probably tackle VI vs. Emacs, explaining that Microsoft Word is a superior text editor to both. Maybe the season finale will cover how Bing is a better Internet Decision Engine than Google. Oh, think of the cliffhangers when patent litigation is covered!

To people missing the point: it plants the seed of distrust in kids' minds. This is not an innocent mistake which has no consequences. This is not a "goof." This isn't a character writing a virtual IP tracer in self-computing Visual Basix. This is a character saying "never trust open source."

meh.

This is almost certainly an instance of "a GUI interface using Visual Basic to track an IP Address" (IOW, a vast simplification written or edited by someone who doesn't really understand the field) rather than a planned attack on open source.

I was not aware that Disney's children shows had become authorities on software.
