Yes, but she could have just as easily said "I'll see if I can track the IP address."

I just programmed an IP interface to subnet your computer. I then downloaded all of your financial records and decrypted them with a cross key hash.

I bet if they took a little bit of effort, they could use plausible ideas with just as many buzzwords. The Joe TV Watchers would still get their buzzwords and the geeks wouldn't be as annoyed.
In an era of growing geekery, it seems like this will need to happen eventually.

Seriously. NCIS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CSI. Sure a lot of the stuff McGee and Abby do on the digital front is way out there, but at least it sounds plausible, and makes logical if not practical sense.
The statement in the thread title might as well be "I'll paint my car and see if I can replace a tire."

they could hire a techie out of the networking thread for peanuts and have all of their technical stuff dealt with for dirt cheap, and be far more accurate.

I'm still looking for one of those super image enhancement programs that can take a cell phone picture of a license plate taken from 300ft away and make it look like a 10 megapixel close up.

Abby and McGee used the same keyboard at the same time to 'hack faster'. They once hacked so fast they had to move the servers to the morgue because they were getting too hot. Nuff said.

Criminal Minds > *
OK, with that being said, one thing that has bugged me about CSI from the beginning is their uncanny ability to over explain a situation in that show. Other than the one in the OP here is a prime example (made up) of a typical conversation:
Person 1 "It looks like that guy did coke before he died."
Person 2 "Coke is a short way of saying cocaine."
Person 1 "Yes, it is a drug."
Person 2 "Right, people will take a straw and suck it in through their nose."
Person 1 "Ahhhhhhhh right."
Granted I haven't really watched it in the last 3 or 4 years so maybe they stopped doing that.
