Is your location Mark I or Mark II?
-
And then you have to know which side your motherboard is on.
Here's a hint: to a close approximation, the motherboard's on the right as you're looking on the case from the front 100% of the time.
-
But what if it's on the wrong?
-
-
I'm just playing devil's advocate. If you can see where the USB port is, chances are that it's very close to one side of the case, and that's the side that the motherboard is on.
The first time that I cracked open a Dell and saw the motherboard on the left side was really strange.
-
You have confused me kind sir. Mark 1 or mark 2 what?
-
Of the machine that calculates the question, since we already have the answer.
-
/me facepalm
right, i did put that as my location.
i'm on the Mk VII
They built a few more cause they didn't like the question, so they though the previous machines had miscalculated.

And now for something completely
diff(1)
:I was taught Assembler in my second year of school.
It's kinda like construction work --
with a toothpick for a tool.
So when I made my senior year,
I threw my code away,
And learned the way to program
that I still prefer today.Now, some folks on the Internet
put their faith in C++.
They swear that it's so powerful,
it's what God used for us.
And maybe He lets mortals dredge
their objects from the C.
But I think that explains
why only God can make a tree.For God wrote in Lisp code
When he filled the leaves with 'GREEN.
The fractal flowers and recursive roots:
The most lovely hack I've seen.
And when I ponder snowflakes,
never finding two the same,
I know God likes a language
with its own four-letter name.Now, I've used a SUN under Unix,
so I've seen what C can hold.
I've surfed for Perls, found what Fortran's for,
Got that Java stuff down cold.
Though the chance that I'd write COBOL code
is a SNOBOL's chance in Hell.
And I basically hate hieroglyphs,
so I won't use APL.Now, God must know all these languages,
and a few I haven't named.
But the Lord made sure, when each sparrow falls,
that its flesh will be reclaimed.
And the Lord could not count grains of sand
with a 32-bit word.
Who knows where we would go to
if Lisp weren't what he preferred?And God wrote in Lisp code
Every creature great and small.
Don't search the disk drive for man.c,
When the listing's on the wall.
And when I watch the lightning burn
Unbelievers to a crisp,
I know God had six days to work,
So he wrote it all in Lisp.Yes, God had a deadline.
So he wrote it all in Lisp.

Most devices no longer/never did have the USB logo on them, especially little things like flash drives.
I believe the standard recommends the manufacturer's logo be on the opposite side of the USB logo, but I find the opposite is generally true. In fact, I usually insert horizontal USBs with the brand's logo on top since odds are it will insert without problems.
-
I grew up reading books about chemistry when I was a little girl.
...
No, I don't know why I ended up here, either.
-
One of my flash drives doesn't have a logo!

A local Apple store was recently burgled for over 10k of merchandise.
Police remain hopeful they can find and return both computers.

Is that NULL or empty string?
-
Duh, GENDER_NOT_FOUND.
-
Is there a third distinct gender of humans now?
three? that number is not nearly high enough.
there are many gradients between the stereotypical male/female duality as well as at least a dozen named genders that fall well outside that "traditional" duality.
-
And that's assuming the person can even figure out what, if any, gender they belong to. Trust me, it isn't as easy as it sounds. Not even remotely easy.
Filed Under: Was that TMI?
-
Is there a third distinct gender of humans now?
Gender? Absolutely. Sex? Sure, that too. The relation between sex and gender, and the possible values they can take? Not a road you want to go down unless you really really have to.
ETA: The road you don't want to go down is what to ask on a form, when you're not sure why you're collecting the data in the first place. We went in circles for a while, decided what we really should ask is "which bathroom do you use", then thew up our hands and went with what the national organization in our space collects. We did the same thing with Ethnicity.

timidly raises hand again
-
And combining that with sexual orientation and romantic orientation ...
Yeah, it's a gigantic mess that causes headaches quickly.
-
*tosses the koosh ball*
-
TMI? nah, not unless you think so.
It's taken me most of my.... (does some hurried math) 28 years to figure it out for myself. and even now i'm only about 75% certain.
-
28 years to come up with furry.
-
And? Why is it bad that I appreciate beauty in all its forms?
I've asked you that before, and you never answered me.
-
Feh. When you're a furry for anthropomorphic cicadas, let's talk. It's always fucking mammals.
-
and what is wrong with the phylum Arthropoda? there is beauty there if you want to see it.
-
Maybe but I ain't googling it.
Now I go back to playing my Skaven in Blood Bow-- DAMNIT!
-
(phylum Arthropoda: invertebrate animals having an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages
basically insects, and spiders)
-
And lobsters.
-
yes. them too. cute little guys. but watch out for their claws.
-
That's why I have a special lobster fork available. You can never ever tell when you might have to eat some crustaceans in a hurry.

do you know what those things EAT?!
ICK ICK ICK!
no thank you!

Trust me, it isn't as easy as it sounds. Not even remotely easy.
Except that mostly, it is.

Q. What kind of car does a Jedi Drive?

...whatever's happening here, my work's filter has it blocked.
-
robot is golfing, and shouts 0-1-0-0 when it hits the ball.
also, your work filter sucks. it's blocking all the fun out of your world.
-
I think they've upped the sensitivity of the filter to the word "game". gaming.stackexchange is blocked now, as is rpg.stackexchange, and several blogs I follow related to gaming (but I can still read their fulltext RSS streams in my RSS reader)
-
I hate b usinesses that think the need to control the internet to that extent.
I see the need for filtering out viruses and other questionable/illegal activity, but to say you can't has facebook because not everyone could resist always being on it‽
nope. if you cannot resits using facebook at work and it impacts your work... then i guess you are asking to be fired![^1]
[^1] Note: IANAL, don't take that as legal advice!
