It's official: you can no longer write _anything_ without it being considered a slur. I'm sorry if I just offended somebody.

- ck2 14y agoIt was a rather specific statement. It's one thing to keep mistakenly use "hacker" in a negative context on TV shows and the news in general, but now they use "open-source" with negative connotations? If anything their entire sentence is wrong because the open-source would be able to be inspected. They should have said "you DIDN'T use open-source and blah blah had a trojan because you couldn't see the code". So either an ignorant writer or someone "tuned" the script. I cannot see how ignorance can be claimed because OPEN-source is pretty self-explanatory.
- imtyler 14y agoI agree with you're sentiments, and if Disney had a habit of periodicity propagating the notion that open source software is dangerous I'd be right there with you. This situation, however, appears to be a single case of bad sitcom writing. "Just throw in some techno jargon and the word virus."
