it was hilarious at first, then kind of irritating, by 3/4 i wanted to kill these idiots, so i closed the tab, funny though

My favourite one:

Me: "What operating system are you running?"
Student: "Hunh?"
Me: "Do you have a Mac or a PC?"
Student: "Um, I don't know."
Me: "Ok. What does the screen look like?"
Student: "It's yellow."
Me: "Ok. What does it say on the computer CPU?"
Student: "What's that?"
Me: "The big grey box."
Student: "It doesn't say anything."
Me: "Never mind that...do you have a little 'Start' button at the bottom of the monitor?"
Student: "Monitor?"
Me: "The thing that looks like a TV sceen sitting on the grey box."
Student: "Oh! That! No. No start button."
Me: "Ok. Is there a little apple symbol anywhere on the screen?"
Student: (very puzzled) "Why would I have fruit on my computer?"

my fave :

* My Friend: "I just installed Windows 98."
* Me: "Cool. But...it's 2001. Why not Windows 2000 or wait for XP to come out?"
* My Friend: "Oh, 98 is more easily hacked, so I want it."
* Me: "You want to get hacked?"
* My Friend: "Yes! Wouldn't you?"
* Me: "No...."
* My Friend: "When you get hacked you get a lot of money! That's a good thing!"
* Me: "???"

this might be funny ...

I like this one:

[New!]

A member of getacoder.com posted and asked for someone to write an operating system for him. It had to have all the features of Windows XP Professional. In return, he would be willing to pay $20 to $100.

The listing:

I need someone to program me a new OS (Operasting System) that looks different than Ms Windows XP etc. but has the same style. It does not need to run on a mac but all the other PCs. It's supposed to have a stylish look with clear edges etc. And ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE JUST A REDESIGNED WINDOWS as I'm going to sell that operating system later on. These are some important points :

It should have ALL THE FEATURES that Windows Xp Professional has. ALL the files that run on Windows XP ust also run on the BlueOrb OS. It must have a very user-friendly interface (like MS WINDOWS XP) When it gets Installed, the user needs to insert a serial number. It HAS to be HACKER SAFE! It must be quick and good looking.


he expects 1 guy to write an OS with the same functionality as XP for $20-$100. If I wrote an OS by myself, I sure as well wouldn't sell the rights to some guy for $100. Or at all.

I was temped to e-mail him and say:

so you want someone to make an OS exactaly like XP but nothing like it? and to buy it at half the price of XP?

Dream on.

Here is another one I found on another part of the website. surprisingly I had to do something simmilar >.>



Someone told me his hard disk was full. His nephew had installed something that would make it larger and had muttered something confusing about slaves and jumpers. But the hard disk, it seemed, was "still full."

My first thought was that his nephew had installed an additional hard disk, and the guy got confused about drive letters. But it was worse. He had an 80 GB hard disk with 6 GB used, plus an additional 250 GB hard disk, which was completely empty.

I asked him why he thought his hard disk was full. He said, "But can't you see? There's no free space!" And, really, there was no free space -- not a single inch of free space -- on his desktop.

I gave him a higher screen resolution and put a handful of folders on his desktop. I told him I installed some "drawers" so he had more space. Now he's happy.




and this





A Friend: "There's an icon on my desktop that won't go away."
Me: "Did you click on the icon once and hit 'delete'?"
A Friend: "I haven't tried that yet."

If you don't know an answer, write one of these jokes there. Maybe your teacher will give you some marks for being funny.
