    If you must inject your vitriolic brand of politics into every single post you make, could you at least make an effort to actually be clever about it? Thanks.

      Yep. My current machines are YODA and MARA. My webserver is OBIWAN, and my wife's machine is HAN.

      Past machine names in my network: VADER, R2D2, C3PO, CHEWIE, WICKET

        WHO injects politics?

        Actually, Bush's dodging of the war is more two-faced than Clinton's, as Clinton was at least consistent with his professed beliefs (he openly opposed the war on moral grounds). Bush was a war supporter and even to this day believes the cause was just (but not necessarily the manner), yet he weaseled out of it, too. So he goes into the Limbaugh/Buchanan/Quayle/Gramm/etc. camp of chickenhawks
        You first. Have a nice day.

                  see, that's the funny thing. my computer, both in XP and in Linux, rarely crashes....

                  so i never really call her a b!tch.

                  she does steal a lot of my time, however, so~

                          People really actually DO name their computers? Sheesh. Weirdoes. One and all.

                          I'm having a hard time grasping people nicknaming other inanimate objects, too. Like penises. (All right, so it's not exactly an inanimate object. Even for Bob Dole anymore.) Although I like Lyndon Johnson's nickname for his. ('Jumbo.')

                                Sure, my computer is called TOSHI. Some joke between the brand's name and a character's name from ST:Enterprise. My former computer (in fact it is still alive) was called Banelia.

                                My first computer at work was called Troi. The second Belldandy, and this one has a very ugly name (I am not responsible for it) PFCPRO.

                                Me printer is Andrea 2 and my car is called Alia 2 (and my former were Andrea 1 and Alia 1 )
