I'm an apostate!
My god is O'Reilly and his prophet is Amazon
Though I must admit I sometimes sin and worship the others whom Amazon also preaches.

Re: how computer work

Joke?

OK.

- There are little tiny men inside the computer who pick up the numbers and carry them around.

- Some of those tiny men know how to do 1-bit math.

- When the little men get hungry, they go to the power supply to eat.

- How does Windows work? In my opinion, it doesn't. It just messes everything up.

- If your hard disk crashes, all the little men fall down and get hurt.

Re: how computer work

Actually, computers do not work. Work = force X distance. The computer neither applies force nor moves (unless you drop it, and it does some work on your toe).

Re: how computer work
