Computer names

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Yeah, let me clarify that I don't address my computer as "The Doomsday Machine", that's just what it appears as on the network.

If I do 'talk' to it, it's usually to call it "stupid computer" or the like. I would be most disturbed if it replied to me.

Well, I guess that's less disturbing. And the TA reference makes everything alright in my book.

Deca-station-1, don't ask me why it's just what i typed

Main (family) computer is called 'SERVER' (Originally it worked as the main data router for my network, until i got an ACTUAL router, now its just used for family work and data serving)

My laptop is called 'Proteus'. One because its model is actually 'proteus' (Actually one of the reasons i chose that particular model), and two, i like that name.

I havent named any other computers with any less-than-obvious names (e.g. setting up a friends network the main computer became 'SHARED')

Anyway, most of it better than my school's naming convention. up until recently, almost every piece of named critical hardware (Printers and Servers mostly) were named after christian biblical figures (At least three of the servers still are!)

I call mine 'HAL', because I swear it's trying to kill me...

everyone knows the way to speak to a computer is by picking up the mouse and saying "hello computer"

@effs
What? You mean I've been doing it wrong all these years? No wonder my repeated shouting, screaming and cursing never had any effect.

Sounds like some one has been watching Star Trek: The Voyage Home too much

My Comp is named Hal-9000, for because I cant get the pod bay doors (AKA the CD-ROM drive) to open. The family computer is named "Nick-stop-playing-Freelancer-and-go-study-calculus-or-mow-the-lawn-or-clean-your-room-or-do-something-productive" Because thats what she says whenever she sees it.
