Actually, we named it Thor due to beefiness. Odin was named since it was originally an NT4 PDC, DHCP, WINS, backup server, thus the "father" of our domain. Now, it's does the FSMO masters for our domain, DNS, DHCP, WINS, Exchange AD Connector, backups, UPS management, DFS root, and Anti-Virus management.
We name our servers after figures in Greek, Norse, Roman, etc. myths. Generally, they are chosen as an inside joke by our IT staff. Eg., our DNS/DHCP/Directory server is "odin", our DB server is "thor", and the previous file server in a troublesome branch offcie was "uranus". The new server we have for our most distant office (9-10 hour drive total) is named "erida".
For desktops/laptops, we use the city-name-abbreviation plus the asset number. No files are stored on the desks, there is very little call for connecting to them over the network.
I can finally get Mono, which I never caught as a child. I would have loved 6 weeks of sick-time off from school, but I can't afford that much time off from work. Damn!
And now, the parallels are still there, is you cast:
Bill Gates/Microsoft as Dillinger/MCP/SARK
Linus Torvalds as Alan/TRON
Tove as Lora/YORI Eric S Raymond as Popcorn Guy/RAM Alan Cox as Flynn/CLU
and...
RMS as Walter/Dumont
the question is not what color the universe is, but how to change it.
Easy, you just right-click on the background and select the "Appearance" tab. There are several colors to choose from.

You mean the Microsoft Way isn't universal?
How about a "Wah-Wah" pedal molded to look like Jar-Jar's face?
