Techie Fun

Hi guys!
I hope you don't mind this infringement on this wonderfully helpful thread, but I think techies need a smile too sometimes.

Helisoft
A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position.

The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, and held up a handwritten sign that said "WHERE AM I?" in large letters.

People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window.
Their sign said "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER."


The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely.

After they were on the ground, the copilot asked the pilot how he had done it.

"I knew it had to be the Microsoft Building, because they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer!"


Thank you for all you do for the site, folks!
Much Love,

Windows compared to a 5 course meal

Course 1# (Windows 95): The appertizer
It comes in really late, but it tastes pretty good. You are mildly satisfied.

Course 2# (Windows NT): The soup
You hear that the soup will be made from the freshest ingredients and prepared by the finest chefs. But in the end it looks like some cheap soup from a can.

Course 3# (Windows 98): Salad
The waiter brings you the salad and you look at it and its filled with grease, you look at the salad fork and it has a bunch of ads on it. It also has some string in it, when you ask the waiter for a refund he tells you that the string is integrated into the salad.

Course 4# (Windows 2000): The Soup
The waiter brings you soup again this time it looks exactly the same as the previous soup you wonder why the waiter bothered bringing you this anyway.

Course 5# (Windows XP): The Meatloaf
You notice that the meatloaf has a large chunk of fat in it that really doesn't add much taste. You also notice that there are hairs in it. But you eat it anyways because it looks better than all of the other courses. You notice that after 5 minutes it turns ice cold and froze and can no longer be consumed.

Course 6# (Windows Vista): After dinner mint
You unwrap the mint and it is all melted and think about not eating it but you do anyways. You notice that the mint tastes like mouldy shoes and you spit it out.

After Dinner:
After dinner you feel sick and you don't know why you went into the restaurant in the first place. You think you will try a different restaurant next time. Probably the Linux or Macosx restuarant next door.
