    Well Mojojo doesn't sound right...;P Mojojojo on the other hand, does...and it has a nice feel of repitition to it. Kinda like the "it"s in repitition. Mojojojo...repitition...mojojojo...repitition...mojojojo...repitition...mojojojo...repitition...mojojojo...repitition... *David screams at himself "SNAP OUT OF IT!" and slaps himself across the cheek* :)

      I'm a geek, but everytime I repave my laptop I use a different Star Trek ship name...right now I'm on Valiant (a Defiant class vessel, named so after the USS Defiant). The IT guys were baffled one day when the found Defiant in Network Neighborhood. :-D

                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:

                                  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.

                                      One way I enjoy (since I've only worked with tiny networks) is to use fictional characters - like the 7 dwarves, Chip & Dale, etc. My home server is my favorite, though - Mastercylinder. If I could repackage it in a cylinder shape, I probably would.

                                        Unfortunately yes...and yeah, I do actually go to church(otherwise that passage probably wouldn't have sprung to mind). I really should go pray now...I sure hope this house has a good lightning rod system. :~

                                          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.
