Your computer has crashed again, sending your precious  data into infinity. What do you do? Rant and rave? Say that the world is an illusion? Or take a hockey stick to that f@#$%&* machine?

A few quotes might help you decide ......


* Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.
-Pablo Pocasso

*To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer.
-Paul Ehrlich

*The perfect computer has been developed. You just feed in your problems and they never come out again.
-Al Goodman

*Error, keyboard not found - press F1 to continue.
-BIOS system message


*All sorts of computer errors are now turning up. You'd be surprised to know the number of doctors who claim they are treating pregnant men.
-Issac Asimov

*The most overlooked advantage of owning a computer is that if they foul up there's no law against wacking them around a bit.
-Eric Poterfield

*Computer dating is fine, if you're a computer.
-Rita May Brown

*If computers get too powerful , we can organise the into a committee-- that will do them in.
-Bradley's Bromide

*The computer industry is like women's clothing--except it is more fashion driven.
-Lawrence J. Ellison

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

And long will that continue...

10 programming laws:
1) Any given program, when running, is obsolete.
2) Any given program costs more and takes longer.
3) If a program is useful, it will have to be changed.
4) If a program is useless, it will have to be documented.
5) Any program will expand to fill available memory.
6) The value of a program is proportional to the weight of its output.
7) Program complexity grows until it exceeds the capabilities of the programmer who must maintain it.
8) Any non-trivial program contains at least one bug.
9) Undetectable errors are infinite in variety, in contrast to detectable errors, which by definition are limited.
10) Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.

Brooke's law:
Whenever a system becomes completely defined, some damn fool discovers something which either abolishes the system or expands it beyond recognition.

Conclussion:
Garbage in, garbage out

hahahahaha, thats hilarious, no joke, you can even ask stigmata, his pc at school wasn't working, and he almost fixed it with my aid, and it sed..

'Keyboard not detected, press any key to continue' or something along those lines. So of course, as you do, we took pictures and stuff, and then called mr. genious man (technician) and he fixed it.

and now we hate mr. genious man, cause he was mean to us

the reasoning behind the no keyboard, press F1 thing is that you will only be able to press F1 with a keyboard plugged in, so by pressing F1 you have plugged in a keyboard and therefore you will be able to use the PC
