    How nerdy are you?

    Now that we’ve explored good and bad hacker films, and are currently delving into 1st Christmas video games, I thought I’d ask ,“Just how nerdy do you think you are?” Have you ever been called a nerd, dweeb, geek, pencil necked, and what separates those terms for you from more positive labeling like savvy etc? My problem of course is how to test “Just how nerdy you are” up until now:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbVtbc_XzrI

    Test instructions: Watch as many times as it takes you to hear it all (it goes fast so it helps when you stop laughing at yourself) then do some figuring as to where you think you fall.

    I passed this test with flying colors, all but the owning or riding a Segway, and the reference to Happy Days as a favorite tune. I give myself a 95% nerd rating after knocking those off and the added fact I still hate rap...And yes, I’ve even owned too many pocket protectors and even a slide rule or two.

    Note: If you’ve owned more than 6 or 7 personal computers your already a nerd and may ignore the aforementioned testing procedure.

    What are ya if you've owed between 30 and 40?
    A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.

        Does a blade server with 12 blades count as one or 12?

          Just because you can doesn't mean you should. This applies to making babies, hacking, and youtube videos.

            12, unless you are doing parallel processing, then one. Either way, you are a nerd. In fact so am I for knowing that.

              I'm ruling out my slide rulers, calculators, personal or business blades/servers, and silly "Bridge Keeper" questions. BTW, xor, what's your favorite color?

              LOL. Should have seen this coming.

                Does it matter if I don't own the machines anymore? Currently turned on I have 5 computers. Turned off included I currently own 10 machines. And over the years I have owned many more :P

                  Well that depends, is it a European Swallow or a South African Swallow :):)

                  Looks like the next star treck movie is going to be pretty awesome.

                    Lots of gratuitous sex and violence, missing in most Star Treks.

                      Not a nerd alive that hasn't seen Star Trek I believe.
                      As for the sex and violence, who needs it when you have cool things like the mind-meld and the vulcan nerve pinch?
                      Not to mention Pavel Andreievich Chekhov asking "Where are your nuclear wessils?"
