If a computer crashes in the woods, would anyone hear it fall?

No.

I take it back. It really depends where it sleeps.

Mars?

Well if it fell from there, noone would probably notice... Because of the whole "burning up in the atmosphere" thing...

The moon has no atmosphere.

Yes. All the other computers around the world would hear, networked or otherwise, and their little computer souls would cry out in empathy for their fallen fellow.

Aww, poor little computer souls...

The person who dropped it might.

But that depends on the height from which it's dropped. And g.

And how loud the sound of it's little hardrive caving in on itself is.

longlonglegz February 6 2006, 19:56:56 UTC

Mm. I think computer size is inversely proportional to the magnitude of sound produced.

Take laptops, for example...

This is quite possibly true. For example, aside from printer and scanner (which really don't count anyway) the loudest computer related thing I have is my external hard drive. Which is also one of the smallest.

The TREES!

They'll eat your soul if you're not careful. True story.
