hi folks,what about some programing or computer funny jokes?
here you go:

Shakespeare has given us the age-old question, "To be or not to be?" Computer science has given us the answer: "FF".

0x2B | ~0x2B == 0xFF

A system administrator was having a lot of trouble with a network router. Strange error numbers such as "E6" and "B2" were showing up on the display. So he called the manufacturer and got connected to field service.

Sysadmin:
"Can you tell me what error code E6 means?"

Technician:
"Communications line 6 has a short in it."

Sysadmin:
"Where's that documented?"

Technician:
"In the technical reference manual."

Sysadmin:
"We're having a lot of problems here, could you fax me a copy of that manual?"

Technician (reluctantly): "Well. OK. But it's my only copy, so you'll have to promise to fax it right back to me."

One weather service computer required the meteorologist to enter rainfall in inches. Now these people were used to dealing with hundredths of inches so when you asked them how much rain fell today, they would say, "50" meaning 50/100 of an inch or half an inch.

However to enter this into the computer you had to type "0.50." One fellow forgot this and entered the rain for the day as "50." Now 50 inches is a lot of rain. An awful lot of rain. The computer caught the error, however, and issued an appropriate message:

Build an ark. Gather the animals two by two. . .

Oualline's Law of Computers 1-There is nothing so important in computer science as a firm grasp of the obvious. 2-There is nothing obvious about computers. ............................................. The original version of the UNIX mt command had a unusual error message that appeared when it couldn't understand a command: mt -f /dev/rst8 funny mt: Can't grok "funny" For those unfamiliar with Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, grok is a Martian term for understand. This term did not transfer well to other countries. One German programmer went nuts trying to find "grok" in his English/German dictionary. ................................................. A student had just typed in his first BASIC program and started execution with the RUN command. The computer printed a set of numbers and then proceeded to quickly scroll them off the screen before the poor fellow had a chance to read them. The student thought for a minute and then asked, "If I type WALK, will it go slower?" ..................................................
