You're a geek when you can't decide whether to spend your weekend working on an intrusion detection system, or writing scripts to build a distributed infrastructure management platform, so you end up incorporating a NIDS into your management scripts to kill 2 birds with one stone. -

Tue, September 7, 2004 - 5:21 PMYou know your a nerd when:
You get so bored you start hacking a processor to make it faster...
You start jacking signal from the locations around you.
You start quoting [Adult Swim] and or cartoons/shows and its only funny to you...
You play so many hours of games that once you go outside you wonder why A) everything isnt digital, B) nobody's challanged you to a duel, C) monsters arent attacking and you cant cast your spells...
You start getting cheat codes to make the hot chick in the video game NUDE!
You go outside during the day and your skin starts burning because you've spent that long on your computer.
You start scaring chicks away when you talk about NES, computers, 1337, or the fact that your necromancer has new abilitys. Or you and a friend just start role playing in mid conversation.
Hmm.... these came out of my ass, ill think of more witty and funny ones later while im in class... -

You've developed a 10 digit left handed password (when 10 digits long its just as secure as a normal password)
When you read the above sentance, you read 'You've developed a 2 digit left handed....'
You've been highlighting the text as you read.
You read a post on tribe.net about being a geek, and you realize that you were discussing the EXACT topic that someone says is a tell tale sign of a geek, in the STAR TREK tribe!
You know the difference between Cu and Al heatsinks.
You understood that Cu is copper and Al is Aluminum.
You've circumvented copywrite protection on software by using VMware.
You've pirated VMware.
You've created a virtual machine inside of another virtual machine just to see what would happen.
You turn down a traditional party for a LAN party.
You carry a jumpdrive with you... always.
You easily identify the following acronyms:
ROTK
FOTR
TTT
TPM
TCW
ROTS
ANH
TESB

Re: you know your a nerd when......
Fri, September 10, 2004 - 6:36 PMto lighten things up...continuing with the thread :
. . . you dare someone to dress up as a goofy alien.
. . . you contemplate the possibilities of aforementioned dare, debate the pros/cons of various alien "species"...and decide not to do a star trek character because you feel it would be cheating since you are already doing a costume for a start trek mystery dinner party.
btw, deely boppers are fun. :D -

Re: you know your a nerd when......
Fri, September 10, 2004 - 7:32 PMnice one naomi
ok here we go, rolling along a far memory of when i was 17 comes to mind.....
you know your a nerd when you have the bumpin boom boom stereo in your 79 honda civic and you decide you can get high naturally by doing something rediculous so you attach a micraphone to your boom boom stereo, put on some of your moms sunglasses, don your fathers fathers fathers russian war cap(the one with the flap that buttons up in the front and has a flap that goes aroundyour neck and ears made of black shiny leather) and drive through luckys parking lot (high school lunch cool place to drive through) fluttering the gas pedal making the car lurch foreward and backwards to simulate hydraulics playing as loud as your swap meet system would play (very loud actually) girl you know its true by milli vanilli, singing into the micraphone when millie vanilli wasnt cool anymore just to pull around the corner to laugh till it fucking hurts because you made the whole school and some old people shoppings jaws drop.
takes breath
then right after you pull up backwards in a taco belll drive through and ask for a water, a napkin, and one hot sauce please while dont forget my number is playing, mind you my passenger had to order because i was singing along once again.
they had to ask us like three times if thats all we wanted, we said yes and pulled up
their faces as they handed the items to us was worth a million bucks! -

Re: you know your a nerd when......
Fri, September 10, 2004 - 7:50 PMno thank you naomi for bringing back the real thread, i actually was quite silly in high school, if in the right company or on the correct hallucinogen im am still very silly in my 30 year old state although i try now to focus on more practical means like a very cool commedian named steven lynch, if you dont allready know, find out hes good at making me laugh. so i really think if i learn guitar better and since i allready know how to sing(high school chior geek) mebe someday i can get as good at it as steven. ill think about some other you know your a nerd if....memories and keep posting them as i think of them. next? -

Re: you know your a nerd when......
Fri, September 10, 2004 - 8:37 PM*curtsey* glad to hear your spirit can still be carefree, rick.
i'll toast to stephen lynch and your efforts. :D
here's another not so funny but true "you know you're a nerd when"....
...you are about five and out to eat with your family. when the waitress comes to take your drink orders you very kindly ask about their selection of "carbonated beverages." even better is when you find yourself explaining what you meant to the waitress who just blinks without understanding and eventually asks, "do you mean beer?" ...extra points if you use or attempt to use the word "effervescent."
...you recall this moment of your childhood and find yourself looking up websites that explore the soda vs pop as a regional phenomenon. you are intrigued to discover that soda apparently accounts for approximately one-fourth of the annual sugar consumption in the states. -

You know you're a nerd when you take "Programming for non-CompSci Science Majors" just to take a class with your (Bio-major) GF; finish the programming Final halfway through the semester, decide you "don't really care for" that solution, and produce a 2nd final assignment with an algorithm you like better.
