And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address 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 icons put 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!

You can't say this?
What a shame sir.
We'll find you another game sir!

If the label on your cable on the gable 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,
'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the s@&*^'s gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC,
The you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM,
Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom!

Snowy wrote:An interesting philosophical question. Were I to mention Formula One it would definately be off topic of me however I suspect that it would meet the criteria of being off topic. If you were to reply and maintain a discource with the F1 aspect of the previous post it would indeed contravene the premise or tenet of the thread and thus constitute being off topic. I sense a profound paradox of "chicken and egg" proportions. Life is profoudly paradoxical and thus this thread probably constitutes the closest this forum has come to producing life!

May it's heart beat forever, however long that is. :roll:
Very interesting Snowy!

Perhaps we should have a special thread for this philosophical question :D

Not always does a topic stray into all sorts of directions, sometimes (and amazingly so) a clear topic emerges from a number of irrelevant posts, at that stage we would move this newly evolved topic to its own thread :wink:
Such a thread deserves its own special forum :) Interesting enough this thread generates the liveliest posts... I am almost ready to believe that it breathes :)

Anyone notice that even the poems posted here are related to computers? :) I have a feeling that we all may be F1 AND computer geeks beyond redemption.
