Anyone got anything funny or amusing that is computer related that they can share? I need a laugh.

I remember back in year 8, I was learning BASIC and we had to write the program on punch cards which got sent somewhere to compile and run. Mine came back a week later with a syntax error!

^ I love that one.

Not sure if you'll find it funny, but I did:

A computer is a stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things. They are, in short, a perfect match.

I farking love XKCD.

@xander337 Unlucky. That's happened to me in the past so now I CTRL+A, CTRL+C everything. Occasionally, though I CTRL+A, C everything and lose my post that way...

@Albatross So true.

And you can do that much more efficiently in Java.
