Reasons Why

[FISHCHAIR]

I would like to hear some witty reasons why Computers are Better than Women
when you start it must start with "Computers are better than women because" and then give your reason.
Ok sounds simple enough lets begin


Computers are better than women Because you can play with it when you want

[Eagle of Fire]

I don't consider games better than women. A healthy dose of both is just about right. :ok:

[Mighty Midget]

Computers are better than women because: When computers stop responding, chances are you can figure out why.

Edited for full length version.

[a1s]

first of all: EoF, you are breaking the rules.
and second, the this theme is bound to be exhasuted soon, let's turn this into a "X is better than Y, because Z" spamfest. offcourse some ground rules (like no races/natinalities/similar carp) have to be set, but I'm sure it'll work out just fine.

incidentaly:
zerg are better than protoss because they have [infested]Kerrigan.

[Eagle of Fire]

Ok, I'll quit... I thought this thread was in the Bla Bla Bla forum... :unsure:

This is just some Harmless fun as far as i am concerned, i dont see how anyone could be offended by it ?
it is "not" how people really think. i dont think this is any different than telling a joke !
But thats my opinion

This sort of answers some questions about you.

[FISHCHAIR]

No offence man but I think you need to relax a bit more. alls my thread says about me is, i am just a fun person trying to make other people lasugh. but you can take it whatever way you want, you are intitled to your opinion.

[Blood-Pigggy]

LOL, Guesst you need to chill, we gettin more uptight peeps here everday.

Canada is better than cheese because it don't smell funky.

It reminds me a joke:
Henry Ford dies and go to the heaven. There he found god and tell him "God you are the worst designer that i know". God dont crush him and ask "Why?"
HF: "your best design, the womens, hasnt an economic model. They cosume too much and work too few. They become unavaible one a month. They didnt generate their own market. They got a little usefull life. Many other afirmations in this way about the women that i found hard to translate.
And god check in his pc (a C64) and after reading some charts, he speaks: "yeah, yeah but right now there are more people mounted in my invention than i yours".

It's my refusal to use smileys isn't it? It was a joke people. They guy says computers are better than women, he left himself wide open for it, I took the jab. No offense meant. Well, no serious offence. Offence in the name of a joke, but that's all.

Since this is turning into a humor about women and men thread...

Adam comes to God and says, "God, you made me this woman and I thank you, but why did you make her like that? All curves and pouty lips and long flowing hair and those eyes that I can't stop stairing at! Why did you do that?"

God says, "So that you'll have no choice but to love her."

Adam says, "Well that worked I guess. But why did you make her so darned stupid?"

God says, "It's the only way she'd ever love you."

[U-Boat Commander David]

Computers are better than women because computers are always Friendly and do what you want.

[FISHCHAIR]

Computers are better than women because, your computer wont moan at you for comming home drunk

[Tulac]

Computers are better than women because you don't have to get them drunk to use them...

*I don't really mean that, no* :ph34r:

[Grinder]

Computers are better than women because you can take off the cover and see the good stuff without asking.

[Mighty Midget]

There's loads of NASTY ones :D but for the sake of peace and love and all that bull, I won't post any of those LOL

Computers are better then women because they do not consume as much system resources in M$-NERVES, M$-CASH and M$-SANITY cathegories.

[Mighty Midget]

Computers are better than women, because you can have them do what you want ;)

[guesst]

while on the subject of programming faults...

computers are better than men because they don't get turned on by invisible forces every morning.[/b]

[Playbahnosh]

Computers are better than women because:

You can use your friends computer without a lawsuit.

If you are uncomfortable with your computer,you can upgrade some parts or get a new one.

You cannot access Abandonia from a woman :P

hah, if you add an F and an R you get 'hoffnarr' which is the norwegian word for court jester. which is vaguely funny on some level.

Okay. Wow. That's funny. Can't put my finger on why, but I chuckled.

[laiocfar]

A) You should try my computer.
B) You should try mu girlfriend.

Take it easy, its humor, irony and stupidy.

[Mighty Midget]

It was in good (although maybe a bit strange) humour. Computers do what you tell them. Women tend to be like guys, and do what they like, which btw, is a good thing. A girl that do whatever the guy tells her to, now THAT is scary!

In Dutch you don't have to add letters at all :) We write it Hofnar. It means the same as in Norwegian though ... We call a HOFNAR an ODOL by the way, but if I explained the meaning of that abbreviation someons will probably raise my warn level :bleh: (sorry for the off-topicness btw).

[FISHCHAIR]

Computers are better than women because, they dont have have bad breath in the morning

[FISHCHAIR]

Computers are better than women because, they wont laugh at a 3 inch Floppy

[Reup]

LOL
Who's laughing when I show them my old 8" double sided floppy... :D

[HighProtein]

You can Re-Boot them as many times as you'd like and never get in trouble.

Hey, it ain't the inches, it's the capacity. I have a gig on my stick.

[Mighty Midget]

What about dual floppies. I think one is quite normal. But I heard rumours that some have two. Can this be right?

[Icewolf]

Yup, some people install them because they're not satisfied with the performance of their one floppy... :hysterical:

Like His and Her's towels.

Eeeew.

[Mighty Midget]

But can they work simultaneously, or do they have to work one at the time?

[Icewolf]

Only one can work at the time towards a harddisc... The harddisc can't take two inputs, it can handle just one datastream at a time..... :hysterical:

[Japo]

It's pretty much the same as having two CD-ROM drives, conceptually speaking. And you can transfer data between directly them. I remember my old 286 (1 Mb RAM, 40 Mb HDD, gray scale monitor) had two floppy drives, one 3'5'' and one 5'25''. I only used the latter once, with an installation disk which had come included with the machine--and I got the only virus I've ever got, a terrible flesh-eating one which erased the whole hard drive.

Well, I was also ansering MM with some *serious* stuff for a change. :sneaky: But no, I didn't. :drool: Now I guess the topic title is the key? LOL I hadn't noticed it before, I just answred through "Vew New Posts".

[Mighty Midget]

Don't worry Japofran. I think your first answer (beside being useful :) ) deserves a hand. So why don't we give that 5 inch a hand, everybody.
(Uh-oh....noooo thank you very much)

And what about an external floppy? Do they work fine with all, or do some prefer the fixed ones?

[guesst]

Personally I prefer my floppy external, but in public they'll ask you to put it away if you do that. So for the most part I only pull out the external floppy if it's going to get used.

[Japo]

(Yeah these jokes are recherchés... One should look carefully which thread he's stepping. :whistling: )

When you're on the way that is... Or when you're on holidays....

[Reup]

You should also remember to put some (write-)protection on your floppy if before you stick it in a strangers' drive... otherwise you could end up with a virus...

So funny. :hysterical:

[Mighty Midget]

Any recommendations on input devices in general? Any 'must have' or 'stay clear'?

And about the fat, I'll go for the fat32 rather than the fat16. For me, that is not an issue anymore. Sure, in my early days, the fat16 would do the works, but now that the world have moved forward, fat32 is better. I think I'll wait a good while before going for the fat64, if that turns up as an option.

[Japo]

Do you guys remember how prone floppies were to developing faults over time? And some were just made that way, but you didn't notice until later. I always ended up replacing my favourite transfer floppy every now and then.

CDs are so much better. That just shows you how much better it is to rely on optical devices' input, rather than in blind "magnetism". ;)

I think any fat device will be absolutely suitable.
The opticals still are very important....
