Thaddeus Smith Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 It's a "soul slayer." What looks like a sword is really the spirit of the soul slayer living inside. umm ..as long as said device has a hilt and a blade, regardless of what the blade is "made" of, and you use it to cut, slice, stab, etc ..i think it's still called a sword.

Stravaganza Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 There's been ambiguity in some posts. The original post asked a model name, not a specific instance name for a machine. Model names (as in System Profiler): All of my laptops with Mac OS X are called HacBook. All of my desktops with Mac OS X are called Hac Pro. Instance names (or Computer Names as in Sharing of System Preferences, or the names shown in Finder or Network): I usually go with mathematician names. One of my HacBooks is called Fermat (because it's kind of showing off). One of my Hac Pros is called Euler (because it does all the number crunching work). Hard disk names: For each Hac Pro (or HacBook), I have at least two partitions for Mac OS X. One for the OS itself, the other for the user area. I call the former with suffix -ian and the later Users. For example, Fermat's OS partition is called Fermatian and the user partition is called Users. My Time Machine partition is called Chronicles, and my storage for application images is called Archives. External storage names: This one goes with colors. My USB thumb drive is called RED because it's red. My iPod mini is called PINK because it's pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aylamrin Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 This is somewhat related, I usually name my hard drives and USB thumb drives as famous women. I have Paris Hilton, Ivanka Trump and a few others. So when my girlfriend asks for a file I have on my USB, I usually call it by name. "Just stick in Ivanka" .... at first she didn't like it, then I named one after her. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
