I have a Macbook called "Golden Delicious 4021" because of a small sticky that my GF scratched from apple in grocery store and slapped it on my monitor.
I name our devices for network purposes. Our network is called Galker because it's a portmanteau of my/my wife's surnames. We used to name our computers after Happy Tree Friends characters - our PC was called Cuddles, our laptop was called Flippy, when our PC died we got a new one and called it Giggles.
However the laptop is retired and Giggles died a couple of years ago - we haven't given special names to our new PC or our netbook.

My current laptop is called ALVIN, because it's red and tends to be good at showing off. I also yell at it when it gets obnoxious or non-responsive.
I think the name's appropriate.

I call my computer Charlene, but it was one of my friends who named it that after the gun from Full Metal Jacket.
It's not its name in the network though.

my laptop is Vessini,
"Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"
(when my sister was writing her final dissertation for college her computer broke, so I lent her my laptop, at which point I named it and created her own sign in so she couldn't look at my gear, or play then games on it!)

No one's called their computer GLaDOS? I am ashamed of you all. But yeah, take a wild guess what my computer's called? My phone and iPod are both closely related to my computer...
Here's a hint, it's not single player related.
Thinking about it, I need a companion cube shaped portable hard drive...

Mine is called GLaDOS :3 I downloaded her quotes and replaced all windows sound files with them :3 like "file deleted" "what a horrible little machines" "welcome back, testing is available" and so on. it's pretty awesome
Why not "Omnissiah"?Sonicron said:Same here. High five!TimeLord said:
Also, my PC is named 'Mechanicum'.
Could be a self-fulfilling prophecy - maybe some nutcases will find this rig a few millennia down the line and base a religion around it. Heh.
Or "Void Dragon". Then they can bury it under Mars and gain all it's technology from accessing the inbuilt wi-fi!
Wait shit you can do that? Can you point me at a tutorial? Or even just tell me where to get the files and the basics?darksuccubus said:
Not a bad idea, the latter one.TimeLord said:Why not "Omnissiah"?Sonicron said:Same here. High five!TimeLord said:

I wonder - if I were to rename my system thus, would the inside of my rig spontaneously develop impossible, insanity-inducing geometry?

to change the sounds, you'll have to convert files to wav (this can be done in Audacity for example). Finally, to change the sound files, go to control panel->hardware and sound (category view)->sound->change system sounds. There you'll see a column of different sounds, when you click any of them, you can change them. Before changing the sounds, put all your wav files somewhere safe because if you remove them, everything will revert back to windows sounds. To change the welcome theme, however, you'll have to download a special free program, unless you have windows xp. I don't remember the name of the program, so you'll have to google that.I recently had to buy a cheap replacement laptop. It's an early 2000's thing running XP that black with sharp instead of rounded edges everywhere. So I called it TRON. Also, my phone is like a Blackberry desgin knockoff, but I call it Lyle because it's like a butler and Lyle sounds like a young butler name to me.
You sir, you are a fantastic gentlemen, I know what I'm doing today >darksuccubus said:sure) go here - http://www.portal2sounds.com/ you can download any quote from any character, so you can make WheatleyPalfreyfish said:
