The Push-Pop Inefficiency

Copy and paste. That's what most students do when they have tp finish an assignment. A rather easy method to get things done. Plagiarism as how they call it and nowadays, everyone knows how to do it. But what most people don't know is how it work. The function is pretty easy. Push-pop.

So what happen is, when you copy something, you're actually pushing datas (in binary codes of course) into a specific "container" in the memory. Then when you want to paste it, what happens actually is that the container will push back the datas out into the specific place that you want it to be. That's pretty much the idea idea though. I wouldn't want to make things become complicated by talking about the "address" in the memory and such. So yea, that's the push-pop function in the computer.

Now this brings my attention to the shower system here at the RĂ©sidence Universitaire. It uses a very ridiculous and inefficient system. If you want to take a shower, you have to press a button to get the water. If you let go of it, the water stops. Bloody ridiculous right? So if you want to shampoo or apply the shower gel, you'd have to stop pressing it and the water will stop. I have no problem with that. I think it saves the water consumption. But then, if you want to continue washing up, you have to press the button again but then, the water will become cold for awhile and you'd have to wait for it to get hot again. And sometimes, when it's cold, you really want to get into the hot water as quick as possible but then again, you'd have to wait. And so yea, i don't like this system at all. Imagine having to go through it during winter. We'll freeze before we get the hot water. Haha.

So yea, that's all the updates for now. Bye.

P/S: I love you syg. :) :)

  1. Haha. this reminds me of the tap for the sink at klcc food court. we have to press it down for the water to flow, but it stops when we stop pressing it. it's so ridiculous because how can one wash their hands properly, with one hand holding the tap down. remember how we both complained how ridiculous it is. hahaha. and yeah, i can't imagine how winter would be. guna kaki la syg. kaki syg push the button. hahaha. :p

    P/s: I love you too syg, very very much! :) :)
