A Valentine for your Box

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the how-sweet dept.

j1mmy writes "The people at totl.net have put together a Computer Dating Service. You enter some vitals about your box and can match it up with other people's boxen. Even machines should find true love." And for those of you who've forgotten your flesh and blood valentines, you just have time to pick up some chocolate and flowers on the way home.

  2. Old lady missing some keys seeks younger processor by DigitalDreg · · Score: 4

    Hi, I'm an older but energetic lady looking for a young stud. I'm a 486-66 DX/2 with 20MB of RAM (in 30 pin SIMMs), 256kb cache, VESA local bus SCSI and VESA local bus video! I live in an original IBM AT desktop case (a fixer-up), and I direct traffic for a cable modem and two pentium boxes in a residential neighborhood.

    I've got 4GB of storage, but I only have 84 keys on my keyboard - no jokes about hitting F11 or F12 keys, ok? I don't have a monitor either ... I channel through other computers on occasion.

    Interested? Just finger me! Today I can be found at 204.73.163.16.

    Aren't people worried about their computer getting an STD (SMTP-transmitted Disease)??

    Can Linux Boxen ever get along with Windows, or is the book, _Linux is from Finland, Microsoft is from Seattle_ the end?

    And, seriously, what about problematic relationships and their ends? Core dumps can be nasty.

  9. They left out a very important statistic by jandrese · · Score: 5

    They forgot to ask what sex the boxes are. I don't want my box to get get hooked up with another little-endian box, I don't think it could take the embarassment. And just think of the horror of taking out a nice big-endian PPC box only to have it switch on you unexpectedly when you get home! Darn transbytesexual processors...

    Down that path lies madness. On the other hand, the road to hell is paved with melting snowballs.
