Oy vey. How easily we get off track around here. :RollieEyes: Actually, I think we are more wired like a parallel processor so we can think about sex 24/7 AND still be able to watch basketball or drink a beer, eat chips, work on truck engines or participate on web forums. Very useful. So you just admitted that men CAN multi-task? You're going to be in trouble for admitting that, you know.

Hmmm... maybe it's like a permanent system process that's constantly running in parallel with the user processes... but it takes up so much CPU that only one user process can run at any given time?

So you just admitted that men CAN multi-task? Of course. Just not on the tasks that you deem important.

Actually girls.. and I may take some flack here.
It's the OS.
Everything else is just an application built to support the OS' primary function.

SOME processes can be all-consuming, like at yoga class when the cute girl is stretching on the other side of the glass but I'm supposed to be concentrating on down dog. Or when we're trying to figure out what it is a woman wants and what is the correct answer to that question and why is this all important anyway. Those kinds of things can really tie up the system.

We can watch football....AND think about sex. We can go fishing....AND think about sex. We can grill steaks....AND think about sex. We can mow the lawn....AND think about sex. We can take a nap....AND think about sex. We can sort the nail and hardware can in the garage....AND think about sex. We can watch our wives bend over to pick up our socks....AND think about sex. The list goes on forever.

I think James has it pegged, Guy. This is why you cannot answer those pesky questions like "How does my hair look?" or "Do these jeans make my butt look big?" without getting a black eye. :RollieEyes: :RollieEyes:

SOME processes can be all-consuming, like at yoga class when the cute girl is stretching on the other side of the glass but I'm supposed to be concentrating on down dog. As a programmer.. I feel as if I may be qualified to troubleshoot here. First.. this issue falls into the category of FAD (Functioning as designed).. This is akin to memory caching.. or as we used to call it in college: updating the spank bank. Or when we're trying to figure out what it is a woman wants and what is the correct answer to that question and why is this all important anyway. This however is an animal of a different color. This is the ol internal logic error. The reason this is all important is tied directly to the OS' primary function, and thus all inquiries made in such circumstances is often given a much higher priority than is actually required for normal processing. Unfortunately, the OS does not have the drivers (or the hardware for that matter) to adequately process this information and reach a logical end, resulting often in a runtime error. But instead of the 'Ding' your computer gives, our internal system response usually just gives an audible: "Huh?"

concentrating on down dog. That was a problem back in junior high too. Thank God for 3-ring binders.

Sounds like she needs a meditation spot. Actually I have one, it's just not being utilized these days. Actually, I think we are more wired like a parallel processor so we can think about sex 24/7 AND still be able to watch basketball or drink a beer, eat chips, work on truck engines or participate on web forums. Very useful. This is a bi partisan deal for some of US. Ok, forget the beer, but I can certainly use a diet drink in it's place.

This is the ol internal logic error. You could have just ended it right here with this statement. It explains it all. Fox

That was a problem back in junior high too. Thank God for 3-ring binders. It's all coming together now. I didn't realize when boys stepped on the back of my shoe and knocked my books outta my hands, they actually just wanted to score one of my binders for , ahem, shielding purposes.

Here I am late again! James - - This is akin to memory caching.. or as we used to call it in college: updating the spank bank. Spank Bank?? And here I thought all programmers were geeky guys who speak a language I don't understand at all, and then you pop off with Spank Bank? SL, I will never forget when I found out what the 3 ring binder trick was all about! I can't believe I'm putting off getting Grandma's yard mowed for this conversation! ha!
