YoKenny Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Computer Stupidities Operating Systems Most computer users understand that you need an operating system to use a computer practically, even if it is not clear why. But many users don't. o My Friend: "What's your operating system?" o Me: "Linux." o My Friend: "You better uninstall it!" o Me: "Why?" o My Friend: "The government uses Linux to look through your computer and see your every move. They use it as a security camera into your world." o Me: "Sure...." o Friend: "I heard about this thing called 'Linux'." o Me: "Oh, I use Linux." o Friend: "What is it?" o Me: "An operating system." o Friend: "Like Firefox?" o Customer: "How much do Windows cost?" o Tech Support: "Windows costs about $100." o Customer: "Oh, that's kind of expensive. Can I buy just one window?"

Winapp2.ini Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 * Woman 1: "What is that little trash can on the screen?" * Woman 2: "My son says that is call the 'recycle bin'. He tells me when I don't want a Word document anymore and I delete it, it really goes in there." * Woman 1: "Why in the recycle thingy? Can't you just erase it?" * Woman 2: "Oh no, Word wouldn't work for very long if I did that, I would run out of blank pages." * Woman 1: "Why?" * Woman 2: "Because it cleans the words off the pages, then sends the blank sheets back to Word so they can be used again. That's why it's called the recycle bin." HAHA. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talldog9 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 * Me: "So what do you think of the Y2K problem?" * My Coach: "The what?" * Me: "The Y-2-K problem. What do you think about it?" * My Coach: "What is Y2K?" * Me: "Y2K, you know, the year 2000 problem?" * My Coach: "Oh yeah, I know something about that." * Me: "So do you think that this is going to be a big problem?" * My Coach: "Of course not! If Bill Gates can write Windows 98 all by himself, then he's going to be able to fix the problem on time." The internet - Where men are men, women are men and children are FBI agents.

davey Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Do not anger Al Gore, Davey. He'll shut off your internets. He did create them, don't forget. uh oh Full artical I haven't forgotten!!! First, you "create" something everybody needs. Then you try to find different ways to tax the heck out it for people who use it. I just want my "carbon footprint credits" to go to my account and not theirs. I constantly "recycle" all my bits from the "Bit Buckets" on my PC. davey Waste not, Tax not!!!
