Re: Named Computers
 

(Preface: This isn't the worst resurrection I've done...)

I've got a pretty standard naming scheme at my house. I wonder if anyone can guess what it's centered around? Hmm...

Desktop: Zeus
Laptop: Hermes
iPod: Apollo

I'll probably change it around to another mythology eventually, such as Japanese or Norse, though the idea of changing it to Aztec mythology doesn't appeal very much to me, as I would likely kill myself trying to remember how to properly type Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli for a computer.

Re: Named Computers
 

1st pc - MrAmerica
2nd PC - Heretic
Current PC - TheHeretic

oh so original =D

the first being one of my backyard wrestling names as a masked luchador =P hahah...

Re: Named Computers
 

Although it isn't quite as bad as Aztec mythology, all of our computers at work are named after body parts, drugs, or other random science names. (usually they have to do with brains) It isn't that bad with the Neurons (our laptops), but some of the desktop names I can't remember, for example one is named after some complex brain chemical, the one I usually use is named acetaminophen. My computers don't have much in the way of names, my first flash drive was named ShutUp for a while, but when I got my second, I decided to go to a semi-alphabetical system. #1 is now named Aleph and #2 is Baker.

Recently I decided Fredrick would make a good name for my computer. My iPod is dubbed "Joe" and my DVD player is David. :cool:

Re: Named Computers
 

Is naming your computer, IPod, hard drive, lap top - like naming your car or motorcycle or guitar?

Re: Named Computers
 

Old Mac-Rosebud

Re: Named Computers
 

john wayne :D

Re: Named Computers
 

My new laptop is named Buzz Lightyear because, when I took it out of the box, all of the other computers were really jealous.

Re: Named Computers
 

I have a machine called penguin. It does not run linux.

my folks have poindexter and penelope.

the animation team's laptop was named locutus.

edit: o yeah, my flash drive is named "73h pwn571ck".

yeah naming my computer is alot like naming a car to me. only a car has to be a girl. my computer has just a fun nickname, like i would give a good friend.

Re: Named Computers
 

I have a laptop with only 40 gig memory...all of it is filled with autodesk software :rolleyes: so my friends have coined it "sir LowMem"

Desktop:Hutch(the table/set up looks like a hutch)

Ipod:God(...obvious reasons)

Re: Named Computers
 

My laptop is named "sundial", back from the days when I was developping and testing the Sundial system. I've been too lazy to think of a better name to change it to.

On another note, has anyone noticed that FIRST seems to name dozens of their computers after scientists? If you do reverse DNS lookups on IP addresses in the 199.125.100.x subnet (the entirety of which FIRST seems to own), you get names like "newton", "bacon", "bell", "franklin", "bohr", "chandrasekhar", "copernicus" and "goddard", to name just a few.

Re: Named Computers
 

My desktop's name is Marvin, because it's not an especially awesome machine and I get all depressed thinking about it. :p

My iPod's name is Don't Panic, because it has anything i ever need to know on a trip on it. Including all teh Hitchiker entry's from iTunes.
