Bir iki örnek vermek gerekirse:
I was calling to sign up with a new DSL provider. When the guy asked what operating system I was using, I said, "Linux." I was put on hold for five minutes, and then a supervisor came back and told me, "You can't use Linux to connect to the Internet. It's a hacker tool, anyway." I almost fell out of my chair.
A lab technician (legendary, where I work) deleted a large and seemingly useless file named /vmunix from a Sun workstation. (This file is the UNIX operating system image.) The machine worked fine until I tried to reboot it.
Recently, I had a guy from the local tech school come in for an interview for my computer assistant job opening. I was taking him around the office, trying my best to explain to him what my job entails and what he'd be doing if he worked for me. One of the very first things I showed him was our NT server, which runs Wincenter Pro, a third-party enhanced version of Windows NT Server which allows us to have multiple people logged into the same NT box and to start up a remote NT session from an X-Windows desktop. He was pretty impressed by that, having been trained in a vanilla NT environment. The next thing I showed him was one of our old DG 300 UNIX workstations. He scoffed along with me when I explained that the workstation used an old 16mhz Motorola processor, so it was not exactly fast. The interview seemed to be going well up to this point, with the guy seeming to understand most of the stuff I was throwing out (even the stuff I wasn't too sure about myself) until I happened to mention that the DG workstation, along with all the other workstations and servers in our office (save the NT server, of course) ran DG/UX 5.4R3.10:
* Me: "Yeah, and this thing runs DG/UX 5.4R3.10."
* Him: "What's that?"
He stares blankly. My heart sinks.
* Him: "So does that run as a thread under NT?"
* Me: "No. It's an OS. It just runs by itself."
* Him: "Oh oh, so you start up NT, then--"
* Me: "No. UNIX. It's an operating system. It runs by itself, not under NT."
He stares blankly. So much for this prospective employee.
Değerli FM üyeleri bugüne dek pek çok bilgisayar saçmalığı okumuş, yaşamış ve içlerindeki şiddet duygularını bastırıp mizaha yer vermeye çalışmışlardır.
Bilgisayar saçmalıklarının gayet güzel bir şekilde kategorize edildiği http://rinkworks.com/stupid sitesindeki bazı anekdotlar sizi gülümsetebilir (benim ise sandalyeden düşmeme yol açtı, faturayı site yöneticisine yolluyorum).
