What Gender is 'Computer'

A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa..'
'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'

A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two
groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The MEN'S GROUP decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;

2 The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;

3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself
spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

(THIS GETS BETTER!)

The WOMEN'S GROUP, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;

2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;

3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and

4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.


heee3x~ totally agreed..computer must be a MALE
"Zassssssssssss..........memang piko kan,hihihi..."

Easy way to understand how SERVLET work

Do you know what is servlet? Ok here is a quik refresher for you.

Servlets are commonly used as an efficient platform-independent replacement for Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts.

A programmatic point of view:

• a servlet resembles an applet;
• it is an executable that's written in the JavaTM programming language,
• usually (though not always) is executed in response to an invocation from an HTML page.

SERVLET Element:

• Efficient and scalable because [ don't create new processes every time they execute ]
• servlets are handled by separate threads within the Web server process.
• Can write to server log files and can take advantages of other server capabilities [ they run in the server's own process ].
• Designed to fulfill the "Write Once, Run AnywhereTM" [ promise inherent in the Java programming language] .
• Servlets can be executed without modification on any platform.
  
  

Diagram: Common ways of using a servlet in Web server environment

A user (1) requests some information by filling out a form containing a link to a servlet and clicking the Submit button (2).

The server (3) locates the requested servlet (4).

The servlet then gathers the information needed to satisfy the user's request and constructs a Web page (5) containing the information.

That Web page is then displayed on the user's browser (6).
