Name My Rig!
« on: July 09, 2010, 01:08:03 am »
So I'll be getting a new machine in ~week , which means I have to come up with a new name! This will be a laptop dual booting Win7 64bit and Slackware x64 .. I've already got a few ideas, but it'd be neat to see what anybody here came up with

Requirements:
One of the following themes:
-Star Trek
-Simpsons/Family Guy/Futurama
-Film noir/horror
-Fantasy epics
-Literature
-Sci/Fi

And obviously if you post a name, it'd be nice if you could say to which of these categories it belongs.

 [17:42:25.585] <Ergot> FORBIDDEN

on IRC playing T&T++
<iago> He is unarmed
<Hitmen> he has no arms?!

on AIM with a drunk mythix:
(00:50:05) Mythix: Deadly
(00:50:11) Mythix: I'm going to fuck that red dot out of your head.
(00:50:15) Mythix: with my nine

BAMF
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.

I like how you referred to 'the other screams' when there's just one other :P

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

One of my old machine was named Automaton (re: futura series finale or maybe I should call it the first series finale :P) which has been one of my favorites.  Since then I've used exclusively DotA character names because so many of them are cool.  If I include VM names, I've used the following:

atropos
azwraith
traxex
crsyalix
rigwarl
ezalor
lion
dirge
akasha
leshrac
razor
rooftrellen
rexxar
lucifer
naix
balanar
sven

I use the first letter as a loose tool for denoting what purpose I use the machine for and its a system that works really well for me.

I like to name mine after misc. appliances ... my favorite is 'LIGHTBULB'.  Of course, that doesn't fit any of your categories.

enterprise, excelsior, dauntless, columbia, titan, reliant and nx-alpha are taken. :)
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Hollywood doesn't let a franchise die until is loses money on at least 3 consecutive films.
