Jokes Only A Computer Geek Would Get

One's infamous, the other I just heard today. Both somewhat funny what with the current state of computing:

"Computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and perhaps only weigh 1 1/2 tons."
Popular Mechanics, 1949

"640k ought to be enough for anybody."
Bill Gates, 1981

LAN parties would be a bit difficult with the first one, eh?

I can't imagine how advanced PC game will be in a few years, After they stop cloning the quake 2 engine for every FPS.

You mean Quake III :)

I run Splinter Cell on 640K, getting something like 120 FPS, it's great! ;)

Code:

int main()

{

  int happy = rand(2);

  int know_it = rand(2);

  int i = 0;



  while (i++ < 3)

    if (happy & know_it)

      printf("*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*\n");



  if (happy & know_it)

    printf("I am%s happy%s\n",

           happy ? "" : " not",

           happy & know_it ? " and I know it!" : ".");



  if (happy & know_it)

    printf("*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*\n");



  return (happy & know_it);

}

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary.

God, I remember that 640K limit in dos. What a pain. Having games telling you there's not enough memory sucked. Editing the autoexec.bat and config.sys files to get them to run sucked even more. I'm glad we won't be going back to that anytime soon.

And those that don't. You forgot the other type
