- junon 3y agoThe thing about NCIS is that they had these sorts of jokes coming with actual technical background. This wasn't just a thing some writers thought people wouldn't notice, I'm pretty convinced NCIS did this on purpose. The "I looked at the source code and 1 out of every 337 payments went to <name>", or the "The printer is coded using assembly" while HTML is shown (two opposite ends of the spectrum) really convinced me that the tech was supposed to be so obviously fake to tech people that it allowed them to still be entertained by it. Compare this to CSI:Cyber which wasn't taking the piss out of IT and simply made stupid, ridiculous things up ("cyber nuke") or Numb3rs which described IRC as "two boats passing in the ocean communicating through the ripples of the water" or "thankfully I speak leet". NCIS seemed to actually try to either get things right, or make them purposefully outlandish. I respect the writers for that.
