Why Computers Sometimes Crash...

[Dark One]

Dr. Seuss TechSpeak made easy . . .
read it out loud . . .

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted at a very last resort,
and the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash,
then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house
says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol,
that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
and your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse;
then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
‘cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk,
and the macro code instructions cause unnecessary risk,
then you'll have to flash the memory
and you'll want to RAM your ROM.
Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!

Well! That certainly clears things up for me.

You know, all that actually makes sense. I've been studying lattly for a computer HSC exam. I'll be sure to add this to my notes. Did you come up with that yourself? Its really good! (as well as useful)

[~*~Neisha~*~]

lol thats awesome! I managed to say the whole thing quickly without stuffin up ... MUCH!

[Dark One]

nah, i didn't come up with that. Found it when i was trawling through the net

[Lauren Hedgehog]

it reminds me of ode to the spellchecker - I can't seem to find it at the moment though

--I've found a version that's ok, it's not the best one though

Ode To Spell Checkers
submitted by Mr Tim

I have a spelling checker
I disk covered four my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot see.

Eye ran this poem threw it.
Your sure real glad two no.
Its very polished in its weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a blessing.
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.

Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

Bee fore wee rote with checkers
Hour spelling was inn deck line,
Butt now when wee dew have a laps,
Wee are not maid too wine.

And now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
There are know faults in awl this peace,
Of nun eye am a wear.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.

That's why eye brake in two averse
Cuz Eye dew want too please.
Sow glad eye yam that aye did bye
This soft wear four pea seas.

[estel]

haha, those are cool!

[Ness]

haha how cool...it must have been so hard to get them to rhyme!

for those of u who know a litle bit about computers do you think its strange that 8 bits is a byte and half a byte is a nibble? i cant help but wonder wat they were thinking wen they came up with those measurements...

[Dark One]

cool post lench. I think i'll send that one round the office

[~*~Neisha~*~]

[Cat-Eyes]

Hehe, we used to have the Processor Our Father up in the study, but it's not anymore.
