    This reminds me of a company where I worked in Wisconsin,USA. Allmost all the servers were named after GreenBay Packers (American Football team) players names. Even the mainframe password was Packers quaterback's name. :eek:

No, I don't watch the Powerpuff girls...no...no it's not on Cartoon Network at 9:00PM Eastern and Pacific on Fridays...:-O Actually, on the bonus material on the Powerpuff Girls Movie DVD there was an interview of the creator and he said that they were originally just a thing he did for fun and he called them the Whoopass Girls. :laugh: They had to bleep it out every time he said that because it's a kids DVD. The name has stuck with me and my friends. :)

                      Did Cain send Abel any viruses? How well did Noah handle IP flooding? Or was Ark the firewall that shielded Noah from having to deal with that? :rolleyes:

                                  Luke 2:9 - 12 (Slightly ammended) And a Sales Rep from Microsoft suddenly stood before them, and the glory of Bill shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. But the rep said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the students; for today in the classroom of Ryan there has been born for you a Savior, which is a Windows Server. "This will be a sign for you: you will find a server encased in aluminum and sitting in a rack." I need to go pray for forgiveness now...:-O

                                        Luke 2:9 - 12 (Slightly ammended) And a Sales Rep from Microsoft suddenly stood before them, and the glory of Bill shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. But the rep said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the students; for today in the classroom of Ryan there has been born for you a Savior, which is a Windows Server. "This will be a sign for you: you will find a server encased in aluminum and sitting in a rack." I need to go pray for forgiveness now...:-O

                                          Because I know people that would love to attempt to hack into my system (so far 2 failures and a failed Denial of Service attempt) I use cryptic names. My current server may or may not be named comp-aaycky5r1p or something similar. And the workgroup my server belongs to is a word converted to binary, but I can't remember what the word is. I used to use elements of the periodic table of elements such as the noble gases, especially the deadly ones. However I do use friendly names in my hosts file so that I don't have to remember IPs.
