[Dalek Dave]

Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick & Titch Had to add on Simon and Garfunkle recently, any new ones will be named Peter, Paul and Mary.

I've only got one. I think it's called "localhost". Sometimes I call it much ruder things, though.

It's too much of a hassle to change, but if I did, I'd use Remmington, Colt, Springfield, Winchester, Sharps, Henry, and Marlin before using any of the foreign makes...

The servers here are named after composers, so when I write example code, I use the names "Lizst" and "Brahms", but not necessarily in that order. You probably need to be English, to get that one.

I name my computer as AgileMouse RedCarpet WhiteCollar BlackCode OmCodeReview LastBreath .....i just join 2 words that come to my mind when a name is required

Ravie Busie Coding is my birth-right and bugs are part of feature my code has!

[Ian Shlasko]

I name them after characters and worlds in my novels... I've gone through plenty of names in the past, but my current ones are: Weven desktop = Orp XP desktop = PrameKlen Laptop = Rikket Netbook = Nwerp NAS = Rotai

Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in? Author of Guardians of Xen (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel)

[Paul Watson]

APPL-W87472LV1C9 I didn't name it, IT did. They used to name computers after Irish islands but ran out and swapped to the above craziness for "asset tracking" purposes. Never mind that an asset tracker will work as well off the string "inishlar" as the string "APPL-W87472LV1C9".

cheers, Paul M. Watson.

We in our work named then according to dead scientists. My working Pcs are called Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen (The experiment :) ) Cheers

You have the thought that modern physics just relay on assumptions, that somehow depends on a smile of a cat, which isn’t there.( Albert Einstein)

I only read code that is properly indented, and rendered in a non-proportional font; hint: use PRE tags in forum messages
