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)

you're classifying your current president amongst bank robbers?

Have you read Matt Taibbi's article in the current Rolling Stone issue? Seems fair to classify Obama with bank robbers.

I didn't get any requirements for the signature

My home pc is called Marvin. It's currently broken... ironic I think. I think a good name for a dual-core would be Zaphod :)

At my home, I name it based on machine type: TheiMac TheMacBook ThePCIBuilt1 TheHPLaptop At work, all the employee workstations are based on first name and last initial (if required). The server are named as per their utility: filestore, devvmhost prodvmhost, exchange, support etc. I name my test VMs based on their configuration: tw2003sql2005, tw2008R2sqll2008, tw2008oracle11g, twvista and so on.

You forgot the biggest thief of them all - Madoff! The interesting thing about his name is that it is pronounced "Made-Off". Quite appropriate don't you think?
