Ah yes, to all the geeks out there, I'm sure there have been those times when you realize, once again, that you are in fact a computer geek. The concept of this topic is pretty simple. Finished the statement "You know you're a computer geek when..." with something from your own experience. I'll start I figure. You know you're a computer geek when you begin to notice spam mail trends. |
 My Blog: Thoughts of Randomness So, like usual, I try to change this every so often. I don't know if anyone notices, but I do it anyways. So, I'm visiting that girl I mentioned. The one that graduates from basic tomorrow. I'll be there for it. I wonder if this qualifies as proving my worth? I hope it does. I'm invested most of my available funds into this already. But of course, the best part of any vacation, Is how you spend it. As long as I have fun, and she has fun, I don't really care what happens. Fun Quote! Dahleks be warned, you have declared war on Cybermen. This is not war. This is pest control! We have 5 million Cybermen. How many are you? We are 4. You would destroy the Cybermen with 4 Dahleks? We will destroy the Cybermen with 1 Dahlek. You are superior in only one respect. What is that? You are better at dieing. Fun Quote #2! Nubi: Screw the 360, if I visit I'm checking out your PC.  Nubi: ...That whole sentence came out weird. Kag: I agree, if you visit you can totally check out my PC because you know I'll be checking out yours! Nubi: XD Nubi: Yez, I knew that sentence came out weird... -.- | |

You know you're a computer geek when you can actually do math in hexadecimal. You know you're a computer geek when you know that dial-up modems transfer in kilobits, not kilobytes. You know you're a computer geek when you can explain how a explain in lay man's terms how a computer operates, including how bits play into this. You know you're a computer geek when you know the maximum transfer rates of not just the cables used to connect to hard drives, but the hard drive itself (7200 RPMs is slower than USB 2.0 by the way!) |

You know you're a computer geek when you remember the days that 66Mhz was fast. You know you're a computer geek when you have 5 computers setup in one corner, two of which don't work for various reasons, one of which runs a version of linus, another that runs XP, and a third that runs Vista, soon to be upgraded to 7. (I don't have this, but a guy I know does.) |

But hitting therapy is one of the best ways to fix technology, dun diss it. You know you're a computer geek when you are the one giving the tech help You know you're a computer geek when you are one of two people in a school of 1200 studying computer science (my original number was just a bit off) You know you're a computer geek when you're proud to say so |

Case in point, see my sig. You know you're a computer geek when you can use your geekiness to corrupt the non-geeky into becoming geeky. |
