  1. Re:Avoid Dilution by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Mozilla Is Rebranding Firefox and Wants Your Feedback (venturebeat.com)

    Microsoft very nearly did it with ".Net". It was a technical term, and the marketdroids discovered that a large amount of techies were enthusiastic about that term.

    The marketdroids were slapping ".net" on the end of everything (Windows Server.Net, SQL Server .Net, Exchange Server .Net etc). Seriously. Even Exchange.

    Amazingly, someone with some technical clue at Microsoft was able to head this off at the last minute and those products were named back to their normal names and .net was restricted to, well, what we call .net today.

    ("Windows Server 2003" was going to be called "Windows .NET Server" for example).

    You're right. Dilution is what kills things and starts confusing people. And once people are confused, they no longer think "which of your products should I buy?" but instead take the question a step further - "which vendor should I go with?" And once that happens, what was a sale now only is a maybe.

    This site has an extensive selection of naming schemes and is really helpful albeit being slow. A friend entered all the worlds nuclear power plants a couple of years ago.

    There is a wiki with lots of naming schemes. I've used that for inspiration when having to name servers:

    There is a website devoted to this very topic, namely namingschemes.com. It has hundreds of example naming schemes for small to large networks. And it's also a wiki, so you're free to add your own comments and examples.

    plans to name all the bins and benches individually to make carrying out repairs easier.

    I'm a little curious how they're planning on naming them..namingschemes.com

  10. In a similar vein... by ari_j · · Score: 4, Funny · on Where Does NetBSD Fit In?

    I know a guy who built a computer into a (non-working, I can only hope, although I only saw pictures) toilet. I don't think it ran NetBSD, but it could have. Oh, and hostname = Jon (he uses Garfield character names for his network naming scheme).
