Like IP addresses with numbers >255 in NCIS (not really development but this is my favourite example). Re: Other - Obvious errors yacCarsten1-Apr-14 1:03 yacCarsten 1-Apr-14 1:03  I wonder if this is deliberate, like every phone number in movies is 555 . . . Re: Other - Obvious errors mikepwilson1-Apr-14 4:06 mikepwilson 1-Apr-14 4:06  I'll let that one go as a 555 issue. Could you imagine what would happen if they put a resolvable ip address on the screen? It would get destroyed. Re: Other - Obvious errors Jarek Kruza1-Apr-14 23:33 Jarek Kruza 1-Apr-14 23:33  RFC5737 specifies address ranges "for use solely in documentation and example source code". There is also bigger range for testing - 198.18.0.0/15. This would do no harm. And it is actually smarter than 555 because 555 is US-centric (for example 55 is a valid area code in Poland). Re: Other - Obvious errors mikepwilson2-Apr-14 3:40 mikepwilson 2-Apr-14 3:40  Well okay, sure. But how many producers do you think even know RFCs exist? Re: Other - Obvious errors Vivi Chellappa3-Apr-14 22:48 Vivi Chellappa 3-Apr-14 22:48  One phone number in the 555 exchange used to be valid until AT&T withdrew the service. 800-555-1212 was the number you called for long distance directory assistance.
