Male or Female
my fiend just sent me this and i though it was funny.
Male or Female
>As you are aware, ships have long been characterized as being
female (e.g., "Steady as she goes", or "She's listing to
starboard, Captain!"). Recently, a group of computer scientists
(all males) announced that computers should also be referred to
as female. Their reasons for drawing this conclusion follow.
>Five reasons to believe computers are female:
>1. No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
>2. The native language they use to communicate with 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 if they were male.
Their reasons follow.
>Five reasons to believe computers are 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 realize 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.
