Today, my Dad thought "Joseph" and "Francis" were two people hacking our internet. They are actually the names of my laptop and iPod, which have now been blocked from using our modem. He can't figure out how to unblock them. FML

I like it. I like it a lot. Everyone should use this same logic and primal instincts while dealing with any situation.

"hacking our internet"? You're no smarter than your father who you're trying to portray as an idiot. And you can't seem to unblock them either.

They were saying that the father thought Francis and... whoever were hacking the Internet, it wasn't OP's personal opinion.

yeah, but I give the dad props for knowing the general correct usage. Yes, it should be "stealing our wifi" but hacking sounds cooler... Plus if there's a password, someone had to "hack" the password

If anything happens that i deserve it will be my gaming desktop "FRAG" drawing too much power causing the breaker to flip and my servers WEB and DATA to switch to battery backup. I would deserve it since they are on one outlet. Unfortunately my work computer DEM will lose all unsaved work since only WEB and DATA are on the dedicated backup. Lesson of the story: when you are smart enough to use more then one computer at once it is easier to give them a nickname then call them by their serial numbers, especially when you have friends who know the names of the systems too.

Yeah, I named my devices based on size; my smallest laptop is Minime, my firewall is on a monster of a laptop (Gargantua), my primary desktop is Behemoth. It might be silly, but it saves a LOT of explanation when you're referring to it quickly.

Yes! Win! My old iPod was named Voldemort.. But that was the Gen. 4 Nano, so no internet. My current one is named Tom Riddle.. But luckily my parents didn't know how to block stuff when I lived with them.
