You've heard all those great code names for military missions--Enduring Freedom, Operation Desert Storm, Golden Pheasant. Now you can use our interactive Code Name Generator to create cool military handles for your own IT operations. Why settle for a boring name like Verity Upgrade when you could impress your co-workers with a name like Infinite Justice? Check out the Code Name Generator to see what name it would assign to your herculean project.

What do you get when you combine a PNY Attache 64-MB USB drive, a Star Wars Storm Trooper Pez dispenser and a geek? If you answered, "Someone without a date on a Friday night," you're only partially right.

Add a razor, a Dremel power tool and some silicone caulking, and you've got something to build on a Friday night, like the "Stormtrooper 64MB." Learn more on how to build your own Pez USB device.

Song: 6 little penguins by Eminem

Six little penguins off an iceberg did dive,
One bumped his beak, then there were five.

Five little penguins swam the ocean floor,
One saw a whale, then there were four.

Four little penguins spun around, whee-ee!
One spun off, then there were three!

Three little penguins, with nothing to do,
One went fishing, then there were two. Two little penguins, having lots of fun,

One fell of, then there was one.
One little penguin, when the day was done,
Went home to sleep, then there were none.
