A computer is about as intelligent as an omoeba (or however u spell it) and that is complimentary to the computer.
A computer simply performs calculations on zeros and ones.
It is the programmers and electricians that are the geniuses.

A computer is basically equivalent to a brain. Man made of course but a brain none the less.

Any machine that answers complex questions, permits connectivity to other machines that answer complex questions, and that runs POSIX (UNIX).
If you are under the impression that Microsoft running on any machine is something that 'computes' you would be incorrect, as the main function of Microsoft is to gather all your info, friends addresses, and, help you to play games.
Microsoft servers are all 15,000 of them, Linux, as are the 15,000 Hotmail servers. Yahoo.com runs BSD, another POSIX(Unix) clone.
These POSIX systems run 8X faster, on the same hardware, and it takes ~8 Microsoft 'servors' to replace each one.
Yes, Microsoft isn't stupid! Real work is done on POSIX OSes, which are also FREE!
