@CentaurBreeder @lanodan meh, it's fine. I just thought they'd put more effort into it given the nature of the series. Similar to The Simpsons or Futurama. But it really seems the writers just told an intern, "we need random computer code." and that's what they came up with.
The worst part is that in the lines before it said it was connecting to a MicrosoftSQL server but they couldn't even do gibberish SQL output, they did random HTML from archive.org.
Hell, especially with the dialogue, they could have done actual SQL output with Easter eggs and it would have still fit perfectly with the dialogue and story but for those who could read and understand SQL output it could have been so much more but alas, like everything in movies and TV, "hacking" consists of utter nonsense. Similar to how they can always cure cardiac arrest with a defibrillator (in case you didn't know, that's not what a defibrillator does).
I think mainly I was disappointed because the show has a reputation for dotting all it's I's and crossing all it's T's and hiding clues for people willing to go frame by frame and analyse but in one of the best places to do so the writers just said, "computers are magic and nobody will think anything of this" and essentially gave us something like this:
