Excuse me for my harsh language, but what the ****? How on earth does it even matter what the rigs are called? No offense, just a sincere question.
suggestion: Egyptian mythology? I started this for a while Seteh, Osiris, Amon-Re, Anubis... Not a whole lot of names but I don't have a whole lot of computers either. My wife did comment at one point but even she was just "meh, you're weird" and moved on. what does a computer name matter?
I call mine PC and LAPTOP. The other half calls hers BOB - I don't care, I know what is what. at work we use <company>-<CLASS>-<OS>-<ITEM NO> organised!
We don't use a naming system but if I had to choose one, it'd be culture minds. The school laptops all fit naming schemes depending on the type and location of the computer and the sheer numbers mean there are a few humorous ones. The support ticket portal and file transfer portals are both given funny names too but I'm not sure if that's by the support staff or the assistant head teacher (who's a god with anything electronical and does quite a lot work on the school systems).
I never understood this, what's wrong with; Dave_Laptop Mike_Desktop Bill_Netbook Minecraft_Server etc etc etc
Probably just a typo, but it is Phoenix. O before the E. :3 I name my computer whatever the hell takes my fancy. The desktop to my right is called Lazarus, the DAW is named HAL9000, the laptop downstairs is named HP-USER, the network is WIL07044651 (and holy **** I remembered how to type that) as that was my college ID number. When I get my own place, I may use a naming scheme based on metal bands, who knows?
so far my naming scheme is: Mir - my networking computer Sputnik - my main machine Vostok - my server all from the firsts of space exploration, though arguably i should have used salyut / almaz before mir... there are more significant things tied to mir.
At home I just use last name and then whatever device it is (like klutch4891 - Laptop). My networking teacher advocated using Department - Room number - Computer number.
Whenever I see someone getting hit in the balls, irl or not, I feel the pain. Being a sympathetic person, reading your comments gives me a similar sensation of pain azazel1024 I pray that your balls grow back soon
It's not a matter of balls, rather a matter of being a partner. If you are committed to a partner, they share 50% of everything in your life. If computers are important to her, then why shouldn't she have a say in the naming? I would go so far as to say; be happy that she is cares enough about your interests to have an opinion. I know I am stoked every time my wife and I can have a back and forth over engines, computers, cameras....because I can't imagine having nothing to talk about with the person most close to me. Use the NATO radio abbreviations. you have a laptop just for porn?
Most of ours are named after their worklog. Then there's the netbook, which often finds its name changed to "b*tchtop" and I have no idea how it happened...
Not just standard xxx or xxxx porn either, Bindi must have access to porn that we mere mortals can only dream of.....
I agree, yes be commited to your partner, share, talk, enjoy each others company, and respect each other enough to care about their interests... is she a member of a pc forum? Are computers really one of her interests aswell? Even if both are a yes, then where is his 50% in those femine names? When a man isn't free to name his pc "SCROTUM" that's when he knows that his woman is a control freak/doesn't respect him.
It's my laptop, so, I suppose.. yea. It's the Charlie Sheen of porn, except with a different head exploding. Now try to scrub that mental image.
