1 spiderweb
Minister to travel long distances to visit a military aircraft programming master. The minister thought that the planes have master both money situation, but he disappointed. Master seen wearing a blue T-shirt and jeans, is sitting in a small studios. Minister of the plane wearing a three-piece suit also hold cross-arm in front of her chest, watching master downward. "You are known for shrewd mind," military commanders said, "Well, I ask you, what is the secret of the computer? " Watching planes Minister master raised his head, saying nothing. He then went to join the military commanders Garden, where a spider in Turpan weaves between two of the net. Dewdrop on the Net, and the sun was reverse into a rainbow of millions of details. Master chuckle : "carefully watched. "Then he picked up a wave Xi, a gentle touch of a spider web, seeing that the net would like to vibrate with the same people. "This is the secret of the computer. , "He said. Master mockery of his military commanders believe that North Korea will pick up a piece of rock-throwing happening to the Internet. Wearing net stones, a broken left holding a ragged nets hanging on the wet leaf on silk thread. He left with the times, he did little to change smart. Two artists 2
The two artists discussing their respective art. "I paint mixing system," one said, "I exhumed ore from the ground, they flowers into powder and mixed with my spittle put powder mixing, and then stored in a mud creations of tens of millions. I used his ax cutting a piece of bark, I used to paint this piece of bark. When I complete a piece of art, I know it is my own. " "I graphic design procedures," the second said, "I was full of dust from the rubble magazine pumped out procedures and algorithms. Keyboard input in my own mathematical formula, using mathematical formulas I draw the curve. When I complete a piece of art, I know it is my own. " An ancient fable 3
Chairman ordered his programmers to create a powerful super computer. This programmers work for many months. Finally, he spoke to the chairman into a box in a room filled with iron, illuminating the light box inlaid. "This is my machine built in accordance with your wishes," he said, "it can answer any questions. " Be attracted to the chairman, he decided to ask a computer since the beginning of time on the problems that plague mankind : "God exist? " Knock the issue of computer programmers. Lights flicker, a room filled Electric Unit. Finally, a deep voice from inside an iron box issue, "he now exist! " Hearing this, the chairman is running out of fear. Programmer dismissively, smile, and I thought : "It is said that a fool thought their computer!" 4 2 computer users
In an office, there are two computer users. The first user said : "I can not put up with this machinery of the moment. When I import orders in, it is not implemented. Indeed, according to a fashion, but then in another way operation. I think it is certainly hate me, because when I urgently need it in, it always seems wrong. " The second user said : "I have the computer in front of me, as one sits in the throne of the King. I issued an order, quietly waiting to see what happened. When I wish to meet and I am very pleased; I wish that had been blocked, I will try another different order. I have my computer as a slave. I do not expect it, like smart. " 5 programmers dream
Never evening programming is not a programmer. Someone asked him why and he answered : "One night, I fall asleep in my terminal. I feel that my awareness of my body floating surplus lines down into the data center. I felt he entered the mainframe, the sight of those flying the same procedure as a military memory, I stood amazed at this perfect symmetry. I found a weapon. This letter is connected with the outside world, through which the information to the computer across the Internet around the world, I reached the phone system Lane. I sense more calm. I now ubiquitous, they have no trace, far-fetched. Tens of millions of years vanish in a flash. that I suddenly woke up, my head down on the keyboard. the entire screen is full of constant plots of the alphabet 'A'. That is why I not process for the preparation of the evening. " 6 Two company executives
A company director for his two magistrates about their own outlook. It seems that one administrator is not necessary to consider the issue, said the soon : "I am completely dedicated to my physical and mental work, I work day to night, I hope I will have the same staff professionalism, I do not intend to retire. " Second magistrates considered for a while and then carefully said : "I have every kind of behavior have read every sentence of the speech dealt with my own CPUs. Hou sometimes, when I encountered problems, I would bang on the table sleep for a while and woke up there the answer. I always give my organization, I no longer needed the guidance of the opposite sex in, I will quietly retire. " 7 Programmer's wife
A programmer, he invented many things, but who invented the idea of always being stolen. Programmer's wife keep the resentment, she asked : "Why did you never fight for your honor those ideas? " Programmer sway eyes, just awake from a dream. He said : "When I was programming in, I am now in a series of chain relationships. My thinking is specific, I put the idea into reality illusory, there is reorganizing the structure in front of me, I have become carriers of creativity in the universe, I rode up into the sky like a dragon's wings. Does anybody know why I have to take my name? " 8 stubborn Manager
Programming told a novice master, he will be a special program manager of trouble. "I have the help of the computer, I do have a 100 million of fact, I will write detailed reports, the manager will be surprised at the data and change his mind. " Masters said : "As all the world will not change the fact that the idea of a stubborn man. Once he grasped the essence of a suitable, it will not be passed on the idea, even though the planes, a knife in his neck. For such people, 100 million of the fact that he would be indifferent. " Beginners Naonao forehead, "Since the facts so powerless, so how can I change his mind? " Master said : "You have to forget the fact that you have to forget the data. Give him a sense, this concept can be in his nature and serves as a bridge between the world and only where the will change his mind. " Two Manager 9
Two managers in charge of a project. One day, they attended a planning meeting. The end of the day. The first manager to come to a sagging door, opened the door with shoulders Shan. He complained to his wife, said : "I simply do not believe it is very foolish. Today, I attended a meeting like the one that they have discussed the matter of those sesame 147,000, as discussed things like life and death. I can do is not to scream out their control. If I were there more work day, I really want to go crazy. "His wife was so frightened of him. That evening, he has occupied, solitary. When the second manager to return to his home, his wife said : "Today is very effective. I attended a meeting and discussed a number of small details, but those are only the surface. As we were talking further, I discovered that the fragrance of flowers in front of us like a flower bloomed. Really, We are thinking of the gardener. "Then he kissed his wife, in the remaining time he had forgotten about the day's work. 10 two teachers
Sidewalks in the street, one of the old man, dressed in a black suit is loudly talking about a quote from the holy books of a cent drop. Zhang De kissed his face, eyes filled with a terrible anger. Several young people from wearing silk next to read fashion that they have never heard anything like it is to find a lighthearted. Distance, a mountain overlooking the city. In the mountains, a grandfather and his grandson sitting together, they quietly watch the sun gradually felt relaxed and comfortable. Just feeling the smooth continuity of the horizon at sunset, heeding Guoshenlai grandfather, the child's ears Speaking in a conspiratorial whisper, she told him a secret. It St. 11
People from heaven to the earth under the previous St. to find a reliable successor. They were immediately plunged into a will to find the types of arguments. Sakyamuni disk legs sitting trees, he said : "Of course, we must find a monk to monk can only understand the nature of the universe, which just missed longitudinal retreat. " Confucius strip strip him of a sparse mustache, "the monks only about their own development. We should find a politician, he is able to make laws, so as to bring order. " Moses cross arms in a firmer breasts, "politicians have always been about the power of love. Our best to find a lawyer, he could interpretation of the law. " Jesus deeply sighed and said, "Lawyers are often ruthless. We should find a missionary, he can instruct the public. " The enormous eyes flashing fire, "noisy, but always noisy! We need a knight, he will defend the sacred humanity. " I stood aside and did not join the debate. I ask all the other saints who become judges. "We should look for what kind of people are they? "They asked. As soon as I did not say anything about this incident, but lead them walking along the rugged path. Turned into the road, then the road became a highway, they came to the city. Brilliantly colorful bulbs and advertising signs covered up the horizon, the same wiring as a black spider web across the cross on his head, like speeding cars like crazy steel insects off. When the roar of aircraft acute toxic cloud of brown air when Turner, the saints are the people holding her hands over her ears. Finally, they went to a Building. In this building, they saw a person is sitting before computer screens. Those saints I watched with a vision of no confidence, "said a programmer? You crazy? "They asked. I smiled. "Please look at more carefully. Apart from the screen, his eyes, this person did not see anything. Been around the computer in tow, he just knew that he created the reality, but realized it was unreal. He has gone beyond the technology. Beyond the machines. "
