wrong definition?
[edit]Isn't headless missing the user at the box? Just because a specific I/o devices is missing that doesn't make it headless. The server example is ok but the lack of keyboard and mouse isn't - basically it saying a computer with audio as the primary input but audio as out when it requires an operator is headless. Too bad Dr Theopolis has a face but no head. ZhuLien 66.249.80.203 (talk) 03:42, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not it is (grammatically and in real tech-speak) the computer's head that is missing, not the head of the user. When looking at a computer with a monitor and keyboard, the monitor looks like a face (it may even display a pair of eyes as decoration), while the keyboard looks like the teeth of a mouth. The same terminology is used when a computer has multiple screen/keyboard pairs that can be used simultaneously by multiple people.~2025-44089-28 (talk) 13:33, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
