0 Guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 A Processor. Together yet separate, _---A Computer and Its Processor, Sum of its Parts I never can retire; ----Need a processor to use a computer at all. For though I may stop working, ---stuff breaks, ya know? or shut down I am reborn by fire.--- Booting up again, electricity. (Processors work by four commands - fetch, decode, execute, and writeback when taken metaphorically, it fits the next 4 lines.) Conceived by one not dumb, Fetch - It takes info from the computer And born by killing another, Decode - It "kills" the original code and makes it understandable to the computer/ I am perfected by the noise, Execute - the "noise" of transferring the data and carrying it out. Though I never had a mother. Writeback - It reports to itself, not the "mother". (the whole concieved, mother and born thing seems to be a play on words) You might use intelligence,----INTEL Processor While others ask a doctor. ----AMD Processor Gosh am I close at all? I feel totally farfetched. You got the last two lines. Memory Card --> RAM!! No... but still close. Okay, a lot of posts are missing spoilers, to the left, under the smileys. *sigh* got that over with. Now, finally. here is my lame stab at a guess.... Sounds like God. Or a god. I dunno. btw, what does TTT stand for? No. But I like your train of thought. TTT = TryinToThink??btw, what does TTT stand for? Yes....

0 Guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I can only think of something relating tosemiconducters. Why, sure, it relates to that. It relates to almost every suggestion made. Almost. I trawled through the 13 pages thinking the answer was memory sticks, then someone tried that and it was wrong. Now I'm going with hard drive. No. But like I mentioned above... it relates to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The looking into my future being the past made me think of looking at stars, and how the Y2K problem would set the year back into the past (0) instead of forward (1000). The glass sounds like a computer monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Guest
Together yet separate,
I never can retire;
For though I may stop working,
I am reborn by fire.
Conceived by one not dumb,
And born by killing another,
I am perfected by the noise,
Though I never had a mother.
You might use intelligence,
While others ask a doctor.
To solve this one, you may need to ask questions;
I will be your proctor.
