BBC article on "passive-aggressive" wi-fi names:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19760006
So, does anyone have anything wittier than the BBC can find ?
- "this network is monitored by the police"
- "No.23 is shagging No.25's daughter"
- "while you're reading this I'm fucking your wife"
Not the funniest ever, but they get the ball rolling. Maybe.

Spooky. I was just reading the article a second ago. If "theft" is an issue I think I'd call my network "I know what you are looking at".
Towards the end there appeared to be the suggestion that you can change someone else's Lynex(?) network name. Now that would be more fun.

I would suggest "Free Paedo Jpegs" as a good network name, no-one would dare connect to it.
There's a whole black art of network naming.
One university network admin that I knew asked his superiors what naming strategy he should use for naming the seven new servers they'd just bought. he was told to use the seven dwarves.
All good for those seven, but future server acquisitions were just named "dwarf8" and so on. I think he said he got up to server "dwarf26" before management finally decided he was taking the piss and told him to stop.
