Do you drive a car like you use a computer?

[brusse01]

Hi all,

Figured this would be a fun way to compare your driving habits vs. computing habits

Personally, I seem to crash my pc more then my car. As for speed... I expect my computer to get to point A to point B alot faster then my car lol. Wish my car could get there faster tho. Less traffic on my pc!

p.s. I seen this on my InsideTech blog... thought I would start a thread. hope that's ok

Well, when I drive the car/PC I try to drive carefully. Miss the potholes when I can, I don't like surprises.

I also like speed but only in the right type of car/PC!

I do like to store the essentials in the car/PC but try not to overload it.

The engine/CPU is important, and I like to keep it serviced.

Inside the car/Motherboard should be kept as clean as possible.

All external parts/peripherals should be checked for loose bolts/cables.

The petrol/power supply needs to be the right grade, and you should not let any other liquids into it.

The injectors/RAM should be checked when the annual service is due.

That's my analogy.

Hmm... when driving my PC the goal is to hit as many people as possible.
when driving my car the goal is to miss as many people as possible.

If I could build a fast, cool looking, great handling, reliable car as cheaply as I can build a computer with the same attributes I'd be driving it -- and it would have computer running Windows 7 in it.

Jacee,

I'd say a Prius or a Smart car...........

My preferred car: 2009 Nissan GT-R Motor Trend Car of the Year - Official Global Site

And I'd take even better care of it than I do of my computer (IOW< no BETA testing!!!)

That's my husband's experimental rig .... I have a red Jeep!

 

[Airbot]

oh well you said that was your car. I suppose you could fight malicious evil doers in a jeep just the same.

 

[Jacee]

I could use both ...
The Sebring just brings on a lot of curious spectators :devil2::roflmao:

 

[johngalt]

I never paid enough attention to how much the top cover of the Sebring reminds me of a Diamond Aircraft....

MY computer is fairly old. So is my car (26 years). The difference is, I drive my computer like a maniac whereas I treat my car well, care for it etc. I only push it when its appropriate, heheh.

I like my car as well as my computer to be running at the top of its game, I love fast, I like to get the best.

Looks like i was pretty close about the type of car Jacee drives .An urban tractor. (Hope you realise i am only kidding, Jacee) She probably runs over Smart cars without even noticing them, SqdnGuns.

I used to be very reckless on the road and have had 14 motorcycle accidents, some very spectacular. These days i am forbiden to own a motorcycle ( bloody missus) and dont get off on cars, and just put around like an old lady, sorta.
My computer gets a real work out at times, ripping avi's to dvd and the like and i dont have a problem making it earn its keep and working it at 100%cpu.

I would definitely have put Jacee down to driving a Bugee,of some description.
