1. what is the first commandment for computer users?

thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people.
thou shalt use a computer to take whatever you want.
thou shalt use a computer to say whatever you want.
thou shalt use a computer to get as much as possible

Explanation:

In spreadsheet software (common in computer operations), the = sign is used to indicate that a formula or calculation is about to follow. For example, in Excel, if you type =1 + 2, the computer will perform the math operation (addition in this case). The other options are not relevant to the function of the = sign.
For the second question, the first commandment for computer users (based on ethical guidelines) is about not using computers to harm others. The other options go against ethical and legal computer - use principles.

Answer:

1. Wake up; you are going to do some math.
2. Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people.
