Your computer's personality

[SarcasticDwarf]

A question for a paper I am writing:

How does your computer have a personality (describe its personality).

 

My computer hates people that ask questions about it. Its a hermit.

 

[Jugernot]

Yes, it's like a woman. It never messed up the same way twice, so you can't ever predict it. It laughs at me when I'm having a bad day. A few days every months, it doesn't like to be touched....

 

[notfred]

'it' is singular.... I don't think that's right.

Occasionally I hear strange sounds which, as I know from pop up messages, are swear words in a weird verbal computer language.

Other than the occasional, "OMG!!! OH NO!!! AIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" blue screen, it has a pretty bland personality.

Sorry, no personality . . . just a machine.

EDIT: per·son·al·i·ty Pronunciation Key (pûrs-nl-t)
n. pl. per·son·al·i·ties
1.The quality or condition of being a person.
2.The totality of qualities and traits, as of character or behavior, that are peculiar to a specific person.
3The pattern of collective character, behavioral, temperamental, emotional, and mental traits of a person: Though their personalities differed, they got along as friends.
4.Distinctive qualities of a person, especially those distinguishing personal characteristics that make one socially appealing: won the election more on personality than on capability. See Synonyms at disposition.

5a.A person as the embodiment of distinctive traits of mind and behavior.
5b.A person of prominence or notoriety: television personalities.
6.An offensively personal remark. Often used in the plural: Let's not engage in personalities.
7.The distinctive characteristics of a place or situation: furnishings that give a room personality.

Under #7 - I guess the beige case and hardware give it "personality" . . . but nothing like a Mac . . .

What?

He said to describe YOUR (speaking to the reader) computer. Since pronouns are not affected by the posessive form of words(ex: All the nurses...(plural)/all the nurse's(posessive) instead of pronouns being: its hair was dark(posessive) / it's stupid(contraction).

I would say it is about as correct as it could be.

My computer is a lesbian that does stuff to other female computer and I like to watch

 

[Willoughbyva]

My computer has no personality except that it is stable as a rock. (crosses fingers)

 

[gopunk]

my computer is just like me - perfect

 

[Keego]

My computer likes to show off, it's a laptop so I take it to the library, everyone uses it at home when I leave it in the living room.

A popular whore? that'd be a good personality for it

2 batteries make it last longer... for your pleasure!

[Linux23]

my computer is a sexy beast!

 

[Azraele]

I never thought to give it a personality, but if I did, I'd say that for the most part it's reliable, but that it doesn't like change (like a format, it tends to get laggy and unstable).

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

I need more ideas...these papers don't write themselves!

Maybe you didn't get my point... let me make a comparison.

If I were to say "describe your book's personality", what would your answer be?

[Paulson]

At least I can turn mine off, unlike women... they just keep going and going and going (substitute bitching for going if applicable)

 

[PeeluckyDuckee]

death defiant - old ah heck that still keeps on ticking.

Mine is like a fvcking whiny woman. Today I brought my computer home from a friend's apartment and when I turned it on my hard drive was all FUBAR for some reason. chkdsk kept popping up saying my mp3s where all corrupted and I was like WTF. Then she finally locked up. Then when I restart it, IT WOULDN'T POST. So I was flipping out. I had to bring my P4 back down to 1.8Ghz from my 2.5G STABLE speed for the past fvcking 3 months its been there for. GOD. IT WON'T DO 2.5 ANYMORE. I'M GONNA BURN THIS B!TCH IN UNTIL IT DOES 2.5. :disgust:
