Wednesday, 3 August 2011@7:56 PM What is the sex of a computer? Many objects have been termed female, like a car or a boat, but has anyone come up with the sex of a computer? Here are some standpoints to take note of when determining its gender. The feminine features: 1. No one but he who makes them understands their internal logic. 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to other human beingsa. 3. The prompt "Bad command or file name" (in MS DOS) is about as informative as, "If you don't already know why I'm mad at you, then you surely won't hear the reason from me." 4. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval. 5. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending more on its accessories. The masculine features: 1. They have a lot of data, but are still clueless. 2. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem. 3. Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the night 4. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on. 5. As soon as you commit to one you realize that, if you had waited a little longer, you could have obtained a better model. |
