Is that a geek, or geekish tendencies? :)

Geek, but I redid the test (I had more time now) and I'm a Total Geek now :)

As if you needed any sort of confirmation... the mere fact that you would retake the test in an attempt to get a higher score proves that you're a Total Geek! :D

I wanted to take a little time to be a geek and point out...

THE PROPER TERM IS NERD. (also mentioned by danny e. above)

Geeks are circus performers that gross out the audience by biting the heads off rats and the like. Nerds are those socially inept, technically super-competent, in-their-own-world group of people that make your information world go round while they live without a girlfriend.

If you disagree with me, you'd probably tell me to "log in to your website" by typing in a URL without a name and password. Or you'll tell me I'm a hacker if I break into your network. Or that humans have less than twelve fingers.

NURD, eh?

Tue Sep 02, 2003 2:00 pm

Well I don't remember any movie named Revenge of the Nurds or Revenge of the Nurds 2 or Revenge of the Nurds 3, do you?

As a reference, read The Hacker's Dictionary; though it doesn't really talk about the distinction between nerd and geek, it does talk about the precision of descriptive language that almost all computer programming enthusiasts share.
