Now I'm sure being the geeks we are in Canada and it is true canada uses alot of electronics because of the cold ;p, you must have some funny computer related jokes. My favorite is from this de-motivational poster that says : http://erika-vilches.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/404_Road_not_found.jpg Error 404, Road could not be found. http://www.yourdictionary.com/images/computer/_TOONHAK.JPG Five questions: Do you have a cell Phone? if you do add a point. Do you use your computer often? if you do add a point. Do you play video games? if you do add a point. Have you built your self a computer? if you do add a point. Do you have more friends online (face book, msn) or in real life that you talk to. if you talk more to people on fb or msn, add a point. ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Fri Apr 23, 2010 11:42 pm RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- Hmm, 2 points according to your quiz sheet there (cell phone and I use my computer). I'd argue though that those two are easily countered. 1) everyone has a cell phone these days. Kids in grade 6 have cell phones these days. 2) My mom uses her computer often too, and she is far from "geeky". I think I'm more of just a moderately knowledgeable person. I don't really even programme anymore, never really got good grades in school, don't own a blackberry, ipod, or any other of these new technologies. Just call me a man of music and literature. One of many unique hobbies. ----------------------------------- mono-1-rulz Sat Apr 24, 2010 2:51 am RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- I got 2 points. I agree with Sniperdude that the first two are kind of a given for everyone nowadays. Awesome comics btw, made me lol. :D ----------------------------------- copthesaint Sat Apr 24, 2010 9:05 am RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- Common, post some humor! :) I dont have a cell phone. Im grade 11, so does everone have a cell phone these days? I also Know alot or people who never use there computers (maybe once a month unless they have an english project). instead they play video games :) ----------------------------------- ProgrammingFun Sat Apr 24, 2010 9:09 am Re: RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- Common, post some humor! :) I dont have a cell phone... so does everone have a cell phone these days? Agreed... ----------------------------------- DtY Sat Apr 24, 2010 9:29 am RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- I don't think that playing video games or owning a cell phone has made you a geek for about ten years. Everyone has a cell, and plays video games, and I do neither. Yet, here I am on a CS forum. --- A SQL query goes into a bar, wanders over to two tables and says "mind if I join you?" Two strings walk into a bar, the first asks the bar tender "gives me a beer.euaoentuh',r.cponeuhaeosntuaqnkhoeuh" and segfaults. The second says "sorry, my friend here isn't NULL terminated". Eight bytes walk into a bar, and says "make me a double". An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first order one pint, and each subsequent mathematician orders half as much as the previous. The bartender says "fuck it" and pours two pints. Why did the chicken cross the m?bius strip? To get to the same side. ----------------------------------- saltpro15 Sat Apr 24, 2010 12:07 pm RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- I'm a gamer I guess, don't own a cell though. --- How can you tell when a programmer has had sex? When he?s washing the pepper spray out of his eyes. ?Knock, knock.? ?Who?s there?? very long pause?. ?Java.? Programming is like sex: One mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life. A computer science student is studying under a tree and another pulls up on a flashy new bike. The first student asks, ?Where?d you get that?? The student on the bike replies, ?While I was studying outside, a beautiful girl pulled up on her bike. She took off all her clothes and said, ?You can have anything you want?.? The first student responds, ?Good choice! Her clothes probably wouldn?t have fit you.? ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Sat Apr 24, 2010 2:54 pm RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- I laughed on the last one there saltpro. ----------------------------------- Insectoid Sat Apr 24, 2010 2:58 pm RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- I don't have a cell phone. I don't have that many facebook friends. I don't play all that many video games (I got into mariokart recently but meh, it's more of an occasional thing). I score 2: Always on my laptop and I've built my own computer. I think this is a very biased test though and I'm not voting in the pole. ----------------------------------- USEC_OFFICER Sat Apr 24, 2010 3:19 pm RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- I agree, the geekyness is too subjective for such a simple test. (Plus the fact that you are on Compsci earns at least a point. At least.) ----------------------------------- saltpro15 Sat Apr 24, 2010 4:26 pm RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- it was somewhat ruined because of that weird glitch with quotation marks :( ----------------------------------- copthesaint Sat Apr 24, 2010 4:39 pm Re: RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- Common, its just for fun, besides whats wrong with being a geek? Just means you know alot on that certain subject. A 'jock'can still be a 'geek' too. I laughed on the last one there saltpro.

However, there is only a couple girls in the shop area right now... At least while I am there. ----------------------------------- TerranceN Sun Apr 25, 2010 12:07 am Re: Computer Humor ----------------------------------- @copthesaint: Your anecdote does not fit the larger pattern. From a wikipedia article about Particularly in computer science, there has been a dramatic drop in women earning bachelor's degrees. In my cs class the most females we had was 5, and that was an 11-12 split class. ----------------------------------- copthesaint Sun Apr 25, 2010 9:37 am Re: Computer Humor ----------------------------------- . From a wikipedia article about Particularly in computer science, there has been a dramatic drop in women earning bachelor's degrees. Im not talking about university, so your argument completely contradicts itself. Yes, the amount of women obtaining a bachelors degree in computer Science has dropped, however This is a poll given to selected universities and not statistics from high schools. I know for fact that not ever a quarter of the people in my grade 10 and 11 computer class are going to take computer science in university. Generally there can be alot of women in a computer science class at high school level, since it is just another easy credit, and if you have great teachers everyone knows about, the course generally becomes more popular. ----------------------------------- Kharybdis Mon Apr 26, 2010 6:59 am RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- Comp Sci is a really easy course, but most women seem to dislike computers :/ I'm sorry if i'm generalizing here. One of you females might be one of those few who actually like computers, i don't know. ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Mon Apr 26, 2010 6:39 pm RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- Too busy texting? ----------------------------------- saltpro15 Mon Apr 26, 2010 8:26 pm RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- too busy making sammiches more like... ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Tue Apr 27, 2010 4:08 pm RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- I don't know where I'd be without Urbandictionary.com.

Go to Profile and set "time" to GMT -8. This should help if you want to see when a post was made. At least for us on the LEFT coast of the USofA. ----------------------------------- Insectoid Tue Apr 27, 2010 7:38 pm RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- I'm glad you cleared that up. This is, after all, the off-topic forum. Most of us are technologically illiterate and couldn't figure it out on our own. Incidentally, there are entire threads on that same subject, and the very designer of the forum to answer the question. I'm not going to bother pointing out that nobody even asked how to do that, though I inadvertently did just that now. Thank you for wasting your first post on absolute garbage. Unnecessary rant over. ----------------------------------- USEC_OFFICER Tue Apr 27, 2010 7:50 pm RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- Actually it should be the left coast of North America.

Thank you truly, It helped me SO much, Now I know how to change my timezone from GMT -6 to GMT-8! I am little confused though, how do I change it back? Also since your a computer wiz, can you teach me how to download music online? the whole thing is too much for me. ----------------------------------- USEC_OFFICER Wed Apr 28, 2010 11:51 am RE:Computer Humor ----------------------------------- Ah, mocking people you don't know.
