I'm with stupid ^

 

 

That geek check list should be more accurate, who DIDN'T laugh at that unix hack thing in jurassic park..I saw it before i was a geek and found it hilariously stupid

 

Anyways I think that if you spend at least 6 hours a day on the pc for own entertainment on a free day you're a geek..

- If you can type 70 words a minute but can't read your own handwriting I do 40 wpm & can't read my own scrawl

 

So, how did I score?

 

Here is a one question test to see if you are a programmer:

 

A car in Silicone Valley was seen with the following vanity licence plate. If you can quickly figure out the manufacturer and type of car, then you are a programmer. The plate read, "FEATURE"

 

PM me answers and I'll let you know. :)

I'm a nerd but not a geek really. I'm not the tech support guy, but I know my way around better than almost anyone at school except the actual programmer people... meh, no big deal. The handwriting thing nearly did it, but my writing's legible - it just takes me twice as long to write anything by hand.
