Reasons why computers are females

Five reasons to believe computers are females:
1. No one but the creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other
computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. The message 'Bad command or file name' is about as
informative as 'If you don't know why I am mad at you, then
I am certainly not going to tell you.'
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself
spending half of your paycheck on accessories for it.
5. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for later retrival.

Forecast (By Super strong Beerwala)

The forecasts are in no particular order and one may be longer than the others to preserve their continuity.

Libra. Using complex chemical equations, I have found the best place for you to study. Studying at lat.38'11 and long46'13 would help you most in these exams. Geographically, this is somewhere in sub Saharan Africa. It's a little out of your way - but hey ! Stop complaining, success never came easy to anyone.

Pisces. This week travel is on the cards. It's a good time according to the stars so make that journey now. But hey ! You can't use any mode of transport apart form walking, and the distance you travel must be within 2 km or else something bad will happen. But it's a good time to travel anyway, so take a walk round your block. This is the best time.

Aries. Remember that mosquito you swatted this week, years ago? Well its payback time sweetie. That poor departed soul got reincarnated as a mathematics professor. So if you, or your child just gave a math exam this week, say bye bye to your marks !

Aquarius. There has been a very big gas leak on an alien chemical plant on Mars. And that, unfortunately, is the planet you are ruled by this week. So wherever you go, please carry an oxygen mask along. And whatever you do, don't light a match. The gas is inflammable.

Gemini. All those of you appearing for an exam anytime during the next three weeks or so must, at all costs, refrain from any sort of...aa.. well.. physical activity with the opposite sex. So no walking your respective boyfriends/girlfriends home. And no matter what this column says next week, this condition holds.

Leo. This is not a good time to cheat. While secret tapes and tehelka recordings are still hot, who knows, maybe your exam hall is being watched over. Try studying instead. A good time would be 2 to 4 am every Tuesday.

I D Ten T Error

I’d like to share a little anecdote that happened in the office the other day. Young Ashok, the editor of a Samachar publication, was having trouble with his computer.
So she called Akash, the computer guy, over to her desk. Tim clicked a couple buttons and solved the problem. As he was walking away, Joanne called after him, 'So, what was wrong?'
And he replied, 'It was an ID ten T error.'
A puzzled expression ran riot over Joanne’s face. 'An ID ten T error? What’s that ... in case I need to fix
it again??'
He gave her a grin... ;-) ... 'Haven’t you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?'
'No,' replied Joanne.
'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you’ll figure it out.'
(She wrote...) I D 1 0 T
