IPhone. Single. Looking to make friends on any network. (opens in new tab)

From what I can see on my Macbook Pro, yes, there is. One of the hostnames (the one that connected after the original) is automatically changed (in my experience it either appends a number to your current hostname or it completely changes your hostname, to something based on the network).

PS: I'm guessing here that the iOS behaviour when it comes to hostnames is similar to Lion's.

According to Apple's Bonjour documentation [1], there is automatic resolution for the `local` domain.

In itunes, just plug in your phone, and on the left navbar under devices, click the name and change it.

Make sure to sync it afterwards

Apple -> System Preferences -> Sharing

To confirm it kicked in, open Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal and type 'hostname'. This is what anyone else on the same network sees you as. You'll also see your machine on other Macs in Finder under the 'Devices' sidebar.

(the whole story surrounding hostnames is moderately more complicated than this, but the Sharing panel on System Preferences is what informs the Bonjour local network name and that's good enough for 95% of user-facing things)

Edit: I misread, thought you were talking about OSX.

Nope. OS X binaries are usually installed by dragging them to the /Applications/ folder. They are user-owned.

I think that people who give flirting advice should be forced to include a disclaimer like lawyers or stock tippers.

For example:

I am not a playboy. I do not offer personalized dating advice, or comment on the suitability of any individual statement to potential romantic partner. Remember, poor flirting can cause total loss of social credibility and you should always consult with your conscience before flirting or beginning a romantic relationship.
