IJMC - The One Data Center
One data center, under dog...oh, sorry, you're here now. Nevermind, I'm
not even sure where I was going with that. Something about lowfat
chocolate milk that tastes like the real thing, but I'm still not sure. I
just know it's dangerous, like you know, something that could kill us all
in one big gulp. A title wave, washing titles down the tidal shores. Four
score and seven years ago, I wasn't born yet, but I think I actually had
an idea what I was saying. Or someone did. Maybe. Oh well. G'night. -dave
1. In the beginning there was the word; and there
were two bytes in the word; and nothing else existed.
2. And God separated the One from the Zero; and he
saw it was good.
3. And God said, "Let the Data be; And it happened."
4. And God said, "Let the Data go to their proper places." And he
created floppy discs and hard discs and compact discs.
5. And God said "Let the computers be so there would be a place to
put floppy discs and hard discs and compact discs. And God created
computers and called them hardware."
6. And there was no Software yet. But God created
programs; small and big... And told them, "Go and multiply
yourselves and fill all the Memory."
7. And God said, "I will create the Programmer; And the Programmer
will create new programs and govern the computers, programs and
Data."
And God created the Programmer; and put him at Data
Center; And God showed the Programmer the Catalog Tree and said,
"You can use all the volumes and subvolumes but DO NOT USE Windows."
8. And God said, "It is not Good for the programmer to be alone."
He took a bone from the Programmer's body and created a creature that
would look up at the Programmer; and admire the Programmer; and love
the things the Programmer does; And God called the creature the User.
And the Programmer and the User were left under the naked DOS and it was
Good.
9. But Bill was smarter than all the other creatures of God. And
Bill said to the User, "Did the God really tell you not to run any
programs?"
And the User answered, "God told us that we can use every program
And every piece of Data but He told us not to run Windows or we will
die.
And Bill said to the User, "How can you talk about something you did not
even try. At the moment you run Windows you will become equal to the
God. You will be able to create anything you like by a simple click
of your mouse."
And the User saw that the fruits of the Windows were nicer and
easier to use. And the User saw that any knowledge was useless - the
Windows could replace it.
So the User installed the Windows on his computer;
and said to the Programmer that it was good. So the Programmer
installed the Windows on his computer. And it was good.
And the Programmer immediately started to look for new drivers.
And the God asked him, "What are you looking for?"
And the Programmer answered, "I am looking for new
drivers because I cannot find them in the DOS."
And God said, "Who told you need drivers? Did you run Windows?"
And the Programmer said, "It was Bill who told us to."
And God said to Bill - Because of what you did you will be hated
by all the creatures. And the User will always be unhappy with you.
And you will always sell him Windows
And God said to the User, "Because of what you did, the Windows
will disappoint you and destroy all your Resources; and you will
have to use lousy programs; and you will always rely on the Programmers
help."
And God said to the Programmer, "Because you listened to the User you
will never be happy. All your programs will have errors and you will
have to fix them and fix them to the end of the time."
And God threw them out of the Data Center and locked the door and
secured it with a password.
