Car operating system

Once Billu Chacha’s company made a software to run a car. Chacha was taking a test ride of the car when suddenly a truck came up right ahead. He pressed ctrl+b to apply brakes. A pop-up window appeared asking, "Are you sure you really want to stop?" Before Chacha could enter "yes", there was a crash and the car caught fire. In panic Chacha forgot the password to open the door. He started shouting "F1! F1!" but there was no computer professional present to understand his screams. Next he tried to come out through the car window. A message appeared on the screen, "An illegal function is performed. All the windows of the car will be closed." Poor Chacha was burnt alive. Messengers of death carried away his soul to Dharamraj, who said, "You have never performed any good deeds in your life. You always stole the code from others. I am going to send you to hell." Chacha pleaded, "I am ready to go to hell but do provide me a computer, please." Dharamraj smiled inwardly and permitted him a computer, but with no Alt, Ctrl and Delete keys on the keyboard.

Techiest of all

Password

My kids love going being on the Web, and they keep track of their passwords by writing them down on post-it notes. I noticed their Disney password was "MickeyMinnieGoofyPluto," and asked why it was so long. "Because," my son explained, "they say it has to have at least four characters."

Programmer’s error

The boy was smoking rings into the air when the girl objected, "Can’t you see the warning on the cigarette pack; smoking is injurious to health!" Replied the boy: "Darling, I am a programmer. We don’t worry about warnings, we only worry about errors."
