I got 5.3%, I did that test as honestly as possible, but some things on that list are ridiculous, probably only ticked bout 10-ish things in total. There could have been some other boxes to up my total, but those tests are usually rubbish.

About the rig specs in the sig, I think that's a bit harsh. Mine are quite discreet, and as mentioned it makes hardware queries a lot easier.

uk_viper · 16 Feb 2006 at 16:24

11.2% i thought i would be more but hey im not complaining

Raikiri · 16 Feb 2006 at 16:51

16.4%

Not too geeky

Same goes for the specs in sig, makes it easier if you are asking for help and it is a computer forum after all.

Moeks · 16 Feb 2006 at 18:26

18.54% - Geek

Not as bad as I was expecting.

And yes I do have my main machine's specs in my sig, although I might remove them now the X1800XT isn't the fastest because anyone with an X1900 or GF7800GTX 512 will clearly have a bigger e-peen than me, which isn't something any self respecting Geek want's to advertise

Well.. your definitely all geeks.. no matter what percentage..

I took one look at that bloody massive list and thought stuff that.. went back to my music and Master Chef.

Classic signs of geek/nerd denial tbh.

I'm proud to be a geek.

I'm a total computer geek, a retro gaming geek, movie geek and a magician ffs!

hell, my username is dailygeek and my website is magicgeek.net!

But - Whilst I'm fully aware other people may think i'm sad in certain respects, and i'd always agree with them, I am totally fine being social with people. I'd like to think, my geekiness shapes my social character for the better. It gives me different interests to the 'norm' and allows me to bring up 'different' topics with people and get them interested

<- Total geek

Geeks watches Star Trek, Nerds dresses like Klingon/Starfleet officers.

Everyone has a bit of a geek in them. I'm a skydiving geek for example. Feek is a gun geek etc...

I must be a book geek then

Geeks love women. Nerds love star trek.

But what if you love both?

I admit I'm a geek

And this post probably proves it -

Geek, Nerd, freak, whatever you want to call it.

I have no regrets in torturing those kids in school, set them up for the real world. They can thank me now.

Geeks ove technology, but can live without it. Nerds cant.

Geeks get excited flashy gadgets. Nerds get excited by XML.

Geeks have a social life. Nerds have MMORPGs

Geeks have girlfriends. Nerds have a seperate hard drive devoted to porn.

There IS a difference.

Thanks for clearing it up, well im a Geek from this then.

MR_Punk · 22 Mar 2006 at 14:13

Is it evil when i was at school me and a mate used to grab geeks and nerds and take them to our lessons, the shop and home??

Rincewind · 22 Mar 2006 at 18:26

i'm a swish geekish greebo lol, and i don't have a HDD dedicated to porn, mainly because .:MBK:. backed up my HDD for me, so it'll be on his PC somewhere lol. umm, if your name is spend_day click C:/program files/xerox/nwwia if your name is iBear, go to D:/porn as i remember... just turn .:MBK:.'s PC on. lol, being a greebo isn't cool, whereas being a geek, isn't, just geeks have more money. and knowing that Nanny's cat is called greebo isn't a problem at all. knowing that tiffany aching gives Granny a kitten in wintersmith, coming in october, is however.

that's my 2 altarian dollars
