Lectia de Limba Franceza

O profesoara de franceza explica elevilor sai ca, in limba franceza,

spre deosebire de cea engleza, substantivele sunt clasificate fie ca

substantive masculine fie ca substantive feminine.

Casa este feminin – “la maison”.

Creion este masculin – “le crayon”.

 

Povestirea noastra incepe in momentul in care un student a intrebat:

Ce gen este “calculator” ?

 

In loc sa le dea un raspuns, profesoara a impartit clasa in doua grupe

– barbati si femei – si le-a cerut sa decida singuri daca “calculator”

ar trebui sa fie un substantiv masculin sau feminin. Fiecarui grup i

s-a cerut sa dea patru motive pentru a sustine alegerea lor.

Grupul barbatilor a hotarat ca “calculator” sigur ar trebui sa fie de

gen feminin (la computer) deoarece:

1.nimeni altcineva in afara creatorului lor nu le intelege logica

2.limbajul comun pe care-l folosesc sa comunice cu alte calculatoare

este de neinteles de catre oricine altcineva

3.chiar si cele mai mici greseli sunt pastrate in memorie pe termen

lung pentru posibile aduceri aminte

4.cum iti iei unul, te trezesti cheltuind jumatate din salariu pentru accesorii

 

 

Grupul femeilor, totusi, au ajuns la concluzia ca substantivul

“calculator” ar trebui sa fie masculin (le computer) deoarece:

1.ca sa poti face ceva cu el trebuie sa-l “pornesti”

2.au o multime de informatii dar nu pot gandi singuri

3.presupunem ca el ar trebui sa te ajute sa rezolvi probleme dar, in

marea majoritate a cazurilor, el este problema

4.cum iti iei unul, realizezi ca daca ai mai fi asteptat putin, ai fi

putut lua unul mai bun.

HOW TO REMOVE OR BLOCK ADS FROM UTORRENT

To remove or block ads from uTorrent 3.3 and higher on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8, do the following:

  1. This little trick is actually done right inside uTorrent itself, so the first step is to open up the program.
  2. Once the program is running, you must click on the Options menu, then choose Preferences, and then select Advanced.
  3. After that, you will see a filter box where you must type “offers” (without the quotes).
  4. After that, you will see two items titles: “offers.left_rail_offer_enabled” and “offers.sponsored_torrent_offer_enabled”. Set both of these to False by clicking on each one and then selecting the false radio button
  5. In order for these changes to actually take effect, though, you will need to restart the program by selecting the Exit option from the 1 menu and then opening the program again. Take note to close the program clicking the red X in the upper right hand corner will not usually work in most cases, as it only minimizes the program to the taskbar, so going the File menu route is usually your best option.

 

Disable Windows Update Device Driver Search Prompt

Now Restart your computer or Log Off and then sign back in. That’s it. Now Windows bother you any more. Enjoy!

Note: This will not disable the Windows Update, it will only stop prompting you to update the device driver using Windows Update. You will still be able to update the driver by manually going to Windows Update.
