Male or Female

Posted by isecore on April 4th, 2006

Recently, a group of male computer scientists announced that computers, like
ships, should be referred to as female This is why:

1. No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.

2. The native language they use to communicate to other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else

3. The message “Bad command or file name” is about as informative as “If you
don’t know why I’m mad at you, then I’m certainly not going to tell you.”

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 half
your paycheck on accessories for it.

However another group of computer scientists (all female) think that computers
should be referred to as male.

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. As soon as you commit to one you realise that, if you had waited a little
longer, you could have obtained a better model.

4. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.

5. Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the night.
