Why Is A Computer A Stupid Machine?

I was browsing through some of the recent visitors to davintosh.com just now (as I am wont to do), and came across an interesting item. When a hit is registered from a search engine, Sitemeter also shows what the terms entered into the search field. This one was interesting:

Although I’ve told others that a computer is nothing but a stupid machine and does only what it’s told, and I’ve sometimes wondered why a computer can’t be at least a little more intelligent, I can’t say I’ve ever thought to Google for an answer to it. No surprise though that the system at the other end was Windows XP and Internet Exploder; I’d expect the user has a big goose egg on his forehead from banging his head against the desk.

The best part though is he thought the answer could be found here. I’m gonna be grinning over that one for a while.
