Naming
PRN, along with CON, AUX and a few others are invalid file and directory names in DOS and Windows, even Windows XP. There is even an MSDOS device in path name vulnerability in Windows 95 and 98, which causes the computer to crash if the user types "C:\con\con", "C:\prn\prn" or "C:\aux\aux" in the Windows Explorer address bar. A patch to fix this bug has been released by Microsoft, but newly installed Windows 95 and 98 operating systems will still have the bug.

Famous quotes containing the word naming:
“See, see where Christ’s blood streams in the firmament!
One drop would save my soul—half a drop! ah, my Christ!—
Ah, rend not my heart for naming of my Christ!—
Yet will I call on him!—O, spare me, Lucifer!—
Where is it now? ‘T is gone; and see where God
Stretcheth out his arm, and bends his ireful brows!—
Mountains and hills, come, come and fall on me,
And hide me from the heavy wrath of God!”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
“The night is itself sleep
And what goes on in it, the naming of the wind,
Our notes to each other, always repeated, always the same.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Husband,
who am I to reject the naming of foods
in a time of famine?”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
