...like the fact that the only people who ever use the can on that show are the terrorist moles inside of CTU - and they don't actually "use the can" they just go in there to call their terrorist henchman boss.

Yes, like Chloe uploading a decryption program from her Dell laptop to the president's iMac? That's almost as realistic as the scenario from last season when the terrorists ran turkish code, in turkish, on english language Cisco routers.
I'm all for suspension of disbelief and whatnot, but at least the technical consultants on the show could try.
I wish I could hack into any system in the world, regardless of GUI or OS, in five seconds with nothing but an IP address. Don't these terrorists realize that if they only used a non-routable, private IP address their plans would be unstoppable, even to Jack Bauer and Miss Pouty Face?

Harry Potter v. Jack Bauer: An Analysis of Who Would Be of Greater Benefit In A Bar Fight
August 18, 2005
[SIZE=-1]by James Vinson-san[/SIZE]
It’s late. About closing time. You glance across a crowded bar. Your eyes meet. She smiles. Then it happens. You look behind her at the very large man walking towards her. You meet his eyes. He does not smile. He walks towards you flanked by three of his equally large friends. You think “there’s no way this ends well.”
But, for the sake of argument, let’s assume that at this critical juncture you can choose one ally in your impending bar fight. Your options: Jack Bauer of TV’s hit show 24 or Harry Potter, the boy who lived.
Who do you choose?
Both individuals have their obvious benefits. In four seasons Jack Bauer has shown he can kick some serious ass. In one episode alone he was tortured to death, brought back to life by his torturers so that he could be tortured some more; but, then he killed all his torturers, drove across town (naked by the way) and took care of two more bad guys. If you have to take on four guys in a bar fight and Jack Bauer is on your side all you would have to do is step aside and let Jack do his thing. Go back to the bar, order Jack a beer (although he may still prefer heroin) and enjoy the show. The downside to Jack Bauer is that if for some reason your bar fight had anything to do with national security, he’d kill you himself. And he wouldn’t think twice about it. Don’t forget – this guy once killed his own boss because he had to buy time tracking down a terrorist who was going to release a biological weapon across the country.
Harry Potter, like Jack Bauer, has a lot going for him. A couple flicks of that wand from Olivander’s and your assailants would be STUPIFIED! Harry – after his recent performance in The Half Blood Prince – has even started to establish himself as an ass kicker. Harry’s newfound ass kicking is not grounded in his actions, but his attitude. In the most recent installment he doesn’t take any crap from the Minister of Magic, gives Snape a lot of cheek (and I mean a lot of cheek), and faces down lake of the undead. Bottom line: he isn’t going to be afraid of a couple of muscle bound muggles. And, if he has that invisibility cloak with him, he can just taunt your attackers while you make-out with their girlfriends. Go back to the bar, order Harry a butterbeer and enjoy the show. Only one problem - Harry Potter also has a weakness. What if one of your attackers is able to knock Harry’s wand out of his hand? You’re shit out of luck. That’s what. Without his wand Harry is pretty much worthless when you’re trying to face down the guys from the Gold’s Gym.

I think the appropriate way to look at this situation is the following: either Jack Bauer or Harry Potter will win this fight for you. You have nothing to fear with Jack’s fighting ability and Harry’s control of magic at your side. The appropriate way to analyize the problem is not what they can do for you, but what could go wrong. The odds that I or my readers (o.k., my reader) would be involved in a situation essential to national security is ridiculously miniscule. Thus, Jack Bauer will probably not have a reason to sacrifice me to preserve the republic. Conversely, if Harry loses his wand (and that could happen easily happen in the confusion of a bar fight), you’re out of luck. The muggles are going to rip him to pieces. And you’ll be next .

I think the decision is quite clear, if you are ever in a bar fight and have the chance to choose one person to get your back, there is only one choice: Jack Bauer.

Yeah, and why didn't Dr. Evil just shoot Austin Powers in the face instead of placing him an an easily escapable situation with one inept guard?

Because that would violate one of Roger Ebert's most important movie rules: The Fallacy of the Talking Killer

"Dad, come on. I have a gun, in my room. I'll go get it, and we can kill them together!"
"No, Scott, I'm going to leave them alone in an easily escapable situation with only one inept guard. What? I don't see the problem..."

I have no meetings this Monday or next week Monday. I had completely forgotten this was on. Looks like I will get a couple of weeks of Jack kicking butt.
