'linksys' 
I saw a thread on this somewhere about a year ago. Netstumbler's forums, maybe?

Ours at school was 'the_vag1na'. Don't know why we named it that, but we'd often hear:
"I can't get into the vag1na" and "the vag1na is constantly giving me problems"
I think my roommate just picked it on a whim. Our password was f0cksh1t too.

Mine's 'Radio Free (my name)" (just trying to respect the anonymity of the web) 
Sometimes I abbreviate it to just the first initials.

mine's just "jj's net" -- I hate changing it because then I have to enter in the 48 character hex password on 3 machines. GAR!

I tend to give all my tech stuff that can have a name something based on Mystery Science Theater 3000. So my computers are Deep 13, Cambot, Gamera, Gizmonics Institute, etc.
My D-Link 802.11g router's wifi network name is GizmoNet (continuing the theme).

I have four WAPs in my house; one AirPort (802.11b), one Netgear (802.11g) and two Linksys ones that are set up to repeat each other (802.11g).
The networks are named Isshiki B, Isshiki G, and Isshiki G2. The passwords for the 802.11b are 63 character random passwords encrypted with WAP, and the AirPort password is the maximum size for that, too.
Yes, I am a security nut. And yes, I have way more networking equipment than I need.

63 IS overkill. A 128bit hex (48 chars?) would have been fine -- then again I only had to do that because my windows machines were too stupid to comprehend regular passwords.

Well, I had a neighbor that was hacking through my 128k hex WEP, so I changed my WiFi Network Name for the next month to "Traffic Recorded FBI"
I hope that dosen't get me into trouble, I was pissed, and I wanted to discourge them from trying again. I even turned off my SSID, but I tech support suggested that I turn it back on in order to get my DWL-G810 to work as a Print Bridge.
It still ain't working, but I don't get anymore connections from outsiders.

My (well, and my housemates) computers are all named after computers in films/books. We have Ziggy (my powerbook), Hex (my winblows PC), HAL (my linux server), Holly (g/f's winblows PC) and Mother (housemate's winblows PC). Bonus points for anyone who can get all 5 references! My housemate's powerbook is called THX, which doesn't really fit the scheme. The wireless network is just named after our street.
I set up my Mum and Sister's laptops with a wireless router and an old PC to act as a print & file server. They decided to name theirs after the lion king, so there's Mufasa (file server), Simba and Narla (laptops). Then their wireless network is called priderock. I agree - it's the lamest thing ever.

Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

Oh, I'm sorry... I guess I should give a care about your post, but I won't.
He designed a new sig. I simply told him it's over the 10K limit. I didn't brand him a jerk. Also, Starman and I know one another (well, in the forum anyway) and he knows I'm not singling him out or mean any ill will...
But I guess you knew that...

And by the way, it was over the limit because I had neglected to turn OFF the "thumbnail" option in Photoshop. Fixed.
And yeah, you're going to have to understand that some people here jab at each other because they know each other (well, in the forum anyway).

are you breaking in a new language or something? "give a care"?
you really need to get out more. anyone who sits there policing other peoples' sigs when it's not their responsibility, is clearly in aid of medication. i'm sure your employer hired you for a few good reasons, but i doubt this was one of them.

I'm trying to respect the dial-up users.
Also, some people don't know that their sigs are too big. Starman corrected the issue, all good! I make up part of this forum, so why shouldn't I call people out for big sigs?
It's not like I'm PM'ing the mods or anything...
