Network engineer who uses ISIS as a routing protocol on Huawei equipment. I assume I am on several.
I used to know a guy whose cat had that name. He got a vet bill in the mail, literally addressed to said cat. The FIB showed up a few days later asking some pretty interesting questions.
"we heard you somehow managed to castrate ISIS? On the behalf of the US government, i'd like to thank you for your service"
The feline investigation bureau?
Not to be confused with the Feline Bureau of Investigation.
oh... I thought we were the Bureau of Feline Investigation ?
The funny part is that at first glance the FBI looks dumb, but the problem is that some criminals are idiots.
Criminals get way too much credit in media - most of them get caught because of really dumb mistakes... a fair few simply because of bragging.
The ones who don't make dumb mistakes don't get caught.
Like when ever there is a murder. There are two options. Criminal was dumb and it was obvious who did it or cops were dumb and couldn't solve the murder even if the criminal was dumb.
I know a dude who has a daughter named ISIS, born before ISIS was a problematic name. Haven’t talked to him in years but I wonder how that’s going.
Named Isis rather than ISIS I assume, after the goddess?
Yeah, good point. It wasn’t in all caps.
Let's hope the NSA systems are case sensitive.
