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.
