matt-- Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 The semester's over, and since I won't be needing any of the windows-specific software my university-provided laptop, I'm formatting and installing gentoo linux on it. Here's the thing though, I name all my computers, but I can't decide what to call this one. Please help out by voting for one of the above three. For the sake of posterity, these are my other current computers and their names. hydrospanner - pda zawesome - desktop vader - server astromech - craptastic laptop What should I name my laptop? What do you call your computers?
StormHammer Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 My comp is the StormDrain I voted for Spaceunicorn.
Jeff Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 My desktop is called C-3PO. My Ubuntu machine is called Ubuntu. Original, I know. I voted for spaceunicorn also XD
acdcfanbill Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 mine is called satan-incarnate :s call it alluvial-damper
Samuel Dravis Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 spaceunicorn? I voted that way because the other examples you mention are mostly things/people, and the other two options on the poll were not - they referred to yourself.
Tyrion Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Mine is named Marvin - after the lovable and cheerfully pleasant robot from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Bob Lion54 Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 I don't have an official name for my computer, but sometimes I like to say "Visual mode Selma" when I switch off my screensaver. I voted spaceunicorn. Just sounds better than the other choices to me.
Hermie Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Mine's Donatello. (The trombone, Bass and iPod are the other TMNTs) As for yours, Spaceunicorn is best, Conclusionjumper fits a windows-machine better...
El Sitherino Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Spaceunicorn. My windows machine is "Green Machine" for many, many different reasons. Linux box hasn't recieved a name yet, haven't gotten any inspiration.
TiE23 Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Neither of mine have names. I just call them "Comp" Either "Down-stairs Comp" or "Up-stairs Comp" or "Gaming Comp" or "****ty Comp"
Samuel Dravis Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Neither of mine have names. I just call them "Comp" Either "Down-stairs Comp" or "Up-stairs Comp" or "Gaming Comp" or "****ty Comp" Yeah, mine is Lappy 386 (desktop is Compy 386)... Neither is really a 386, but if you didn't catch the reference, well, I can't help you.
Bastila Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 I think dinosaurfriend sounds really cool and strong.
Dath Maximus Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 spaceunicorn and my pc is named Skynet
90SK Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Yeah, spaceunicorn is pretty snazzy. Has a nice ring. My computer is under the name "Sage". Not my idea, but I like it.
Lady Jedi Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 I voted spaceunicorn, but personally I think that Iceman or Icemachine would be cooler. Linux > Penguin > Ice > Iceman > Icemachine. ... Neither is really a 386, but if you didn't catch the reference, well, I can't help you. Oh boy. What does it say about me that I did catch the reference?
edlib Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 "Down-stairs Comp" "Up-stairs Comp" Ditto. I always wish that I could get a name like "Deep Thought" or something to stick... but it never does, and then it's just "Upstairs" or "Downstairs" Or "Linux-Machine." Meh.
TiE23 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 How about some different names? Im bored. (Now watch how fast I run out of good ones) Kasuga Kolibri Rhett Posh Vivec Krunk Seer Aggro L-F-G Beezle Gonk Randy Hal 'Earth' Grun India Echo Slave I IG-88 Toast !Xabbu Orlando Goku Speck Treiber Das Der Die E.E.

narfblat Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Yeah, mine is Lappy 386 (desktop is Compy 386)... Neither is really a 386, but if you didn't catch the reference, well, I can't help you. Not only did I catch the reference, but I think it needs a correction - isn't it "lappy 486" instead of 386? (I really didn't like any of those names for Matt's computer, but then, I haven't had much experience with naming a computer.)
toms Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 lolita - since its going to spend most of its time on your lap being stroked...
Katarn07 Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 Space Unicorn. I voted without viewing the results and see everyone agrees with me it sounds best. Mine doesn't have a name but I call it stupid piece of crap every once in a while
