Everyone who said they don't have a name for their computer... You're all LIARS... what is your netbios name?
Names I spouted off are names from the network, I never talk to my computer...

name your network like a chemistry lab, name stuff after functional groups and special names lol
call your laptop something like "trinitrotoluene" or "isopropylcyclooctanoate" no confusions there :D

Those aren't subatomic particles. They are families of subatomic particles. :p

man i'm such an idiot, i invented this name BEFORE i took chemistry......1 more O on end of my name and i could have a super cool name! drawing it would look a bit like this:
My name in chemistry
there's an aldehyde group on the left, then there is the ketone group on the right..........let me think if i can guess my name....
now that i look at it.....they are bonded with an O, that means it could possibly be a hydration reaction between COOH on the left and a COOH on the right........maybe my name could be "methene methanoate" but i gotta shake off the R....... :(

next computer is gonna be called Methene Methanoate
