Joke du jour

[Steve Foster]

The inventor of the computer mouse has died.
They should have right clicked and saved him.

But, he's a human being, not a computer file. No, that wouldn't have worked.

Doesn't the right click merely bring up the menu selection. Surely if they wanted to save him they should have double clicked?

 

[SeagullSongs]

Just Save? But he needs to have been saved before for that to work. You'd need to use Save As.

 

[El Sid]

Save or save as?

My computer has froze

No, double-clicking would have merely opened him - In the case of imminent death you would have definitely wanted to click "save" or at the very least "copy" and pasted him to another location. Although that brings up all kinds of philosophical questions - If he was copied and pasted to another location, would he still be the same person??

You can't copy and paste a human being. Copying and pasting is something done in word processing applications.

His inventing of the computer mouse was never really going to be a factor in whether he died or not.

A79 has raised a very valid point. If, for example, he was in a car crash, why would a mouse save him?

 

[mistahclarke]

maybe it was an ergonomic or Mac mouse and they couldn't work out how to right click? Sad times......

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Save or save as?

Delete, clearly. RIP

Maybe some data recovery software could bring him back?
