Funny Computer Stuff (Nothing Important)

Recently I was voting up an answer while the page was still apparently settling in and lo and behold, the little translation strip appeared, telling me that "Vote" is in fact "Votar."

While computers can be very frustrating when I'm in a hurry, from time to time they just crack me up!

Well, all I know is that I "Really" like computers!

I have a business repairing computers and networking, and l really do have empathy for when things go wrong, but at the same time I am more than happy to fix my customers problems!

Well, I find it encouraging that the translation device recognized that an infinitive could be used as a command. Even it is learning something from the discussions on this site.

To read magnetic tape, the read-write head had to be a specific distance from the tape.

Misaligned heads often created a problem that was called a head-space error.

But when one of the operators hung a wrong tape, or loaded the punchcards backwards, the programmers would blame the problem on

Operator Head-space. a term that continues in use today, even by folk that have no idea what mag tape is.

As a matter of fact, last night the answer box on the site was entirely blue. I even turned off the computer and tried it again later and it was still all blue. Now it's back to normal.

Hola,

That is why, "once you go Mac, you never go back". Ha ha ha.

Computers have taught me the beautiful attribute that is patience.

I seem to spend hours a day fixing my computer. I know it is partly because I don't know what I'm doing, but I don't need any more confusing things like this to trip me up. Sometimes, it will translate a Spanish word to English, but that went away with an update. Why do those updates mess everything up? Do we have to do them????

Most of the updates are to fix the things they updated last time. In other words to fix their screwups and things they overlooked. Sorry, there is no end in sight! - LateToDinner, Aug 2, 2010
