actually, computers are neither men nor women... they're machines, so... where am i supposed to place my vote?

The question is wrt Romance languages that have no 'neuter'; all nouns are either male or female - as in the table or the salt in French are:la table or le sel but in Spanish :la mesa la sal or in Portuguese: a mesa o sal

You have two boys and six girls in your group. You're generalizing way too much. If anything, the fact that girls outnumber boys by a 3 to 1 margin goes against your idea that girls are afraid of computers. Maybe these particular girls happen to be really good at Visual C++, C++, and Java, and not so great at Linux, Assembly, and C. It could have nothing to do them being female. And how does preferring to program in Java and C++ mean that you think of the computer as a big black box?

yes that's my group. However our uni have 50% 50% boys and girls.

I don't tell that using a tool like C++ or java to make your things
easy is wrong . I talking about the interest that wanna to dig to
the hardware and operating systems . Yes I do say many girls are like this but there are different types of girls too.me as a boy didn't understood girls completely. I say I don't know at least 5% about them even.

Re: Joke Tech-poll: Are Computers Men or Women?

Computers are definitely female, here are the male reasons:
1) Most men who have one don't understand them.
2) Amongst themselves they talk in an incomprehensible language at high speed.
3) You need to tell them every trivial thing you want from them.
4) All of a sudden they refuse to cooperate, and you can't figure out what you did wrong. They refuse to give you any meaningful error message.
5) You always have to buy new stuff for them.
6) If you keep a computer for too long it becomes old and you will constantly wish you could just dump it somewhere.

I can try to pick them apart all I want but I'll never truly understand whats going on in there.
