      I'm pretty sure I have seen that exact episode.

        Why do they mention VisualBasic? It sounds... so basic and lousy. Why don't they make up a cool name, something with an X or a high number in it, or the word "turbo", to show they are using something really advanced? None of the average viewers would recognise a fake name anyway...

        I only read code that is properly indented, and rendered in a non-proportional font; hint: use PRE tags in forum messages

            The X has to be somewhere in the middle of the name (like TurboPascal X-treme 2010), so the programm's logo is centered around a big metallic X from which sparks jump into all directions, so that even the most ignorant viewer realises they are using something really advanced and cool. Since they try to track down an IP, that should probably be TurboPursuitPascal X-Treme 2010 Professional.

              Close, but the app-to-have is TurboPursuitPascal X-Treme 2010 Professional Gold Enterprise Team Edition.

                Ah, good shout. That must be the one that includes all the holograms and Minority Report style controls that every system they use seems to have.

                        I know a major Financial company in the City of London that has 5 excel spreadsheet taking in reuters feeds and processing them in visual basic and running their whole company on these 5 spreadsheets. They process so much information each spreadsheet has their own server to run on :)
