HEY! That's been mine for years now! Pretty sure I posted that somewhere on here once a while ago.
Anyway, I've since changed it to "Unknown Error".
Got a tip for us?

Then would that not be Flatternmaus? Then again, I suppose it's not exactly Fleigenmaus either.Actually Fledermaus = Flutter-mouse
Holy cow man

Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.

Yeah right
Bourne.
I used to have three things setup. My wireless internet was The Bourne Identity, my wireless speakers were The Bourne Supremacy, and my wireless printer was The Bourne Legacy. I didn't realize at the time that they would name it Ultimatum.
Anyway, now that I don't have the printer anymore, and I ended up making my network invisible for a while, it was a pain in the butt to type out "The Bourne Identity" everytime, so I just reduced it to "Bourne."
The honest truth though is that if you want the most security, name it something long and lame, like i292jh3kl1289hkkda39. That way, it doesn't look appealing at all to anyone, and if a piggy-backer was looking for a connection, they would take the one with a simple more attractive name, naturally. CIA Operative is attractive.

My SSID is currently "Get your own WiFi", after having some fat slob across the street mooch off my signal last summer. Came as a shock when I launched iTunes and found someone's shared library in my sidebar navigation. I quickly password protected my network and changed the SSID, ran downstairs and peered out the window to see some huge guy hanging out the window shaking his makeshift antenna around to get signal again. Loser.
This begs the question: If you didn't want anyone on your network, why didn't you lock it down in the first place? In essence, you were broadcasting a signal to the guys home that said "open network right here, please connect!". I always look at open networks as.... well, open for anyone to use. If the owner of the AP doesn't want outsiders to connect to his network, he would lock it down. Right?
As to the subject at hand.... I have two: "Siilinkoto" and "Siilinkoto-n", for my older G-network and newer N-network. "Siilinkoto" meant "the hedgehog's home" in Finnish
