i've got a good guide for geeks; NEVER mention anything related to the internet or computers in 'normal' social circles, they will not know ceiling cat, or paedo bear, they will not be interested in graphics cards or cable routing and they probably wont find the explanation funny or interesting either.

overall I think I'm a well rounded individual.

Of course your not a geek

never talk about computers in real life, unless you're fixing one

done

A few days ago I had someone waffling on about the specifications of a new chip they were programming and how it's performance compared with historical computers. It's cool to know something that cost £1.20 and is the size of a coin has the same processing power as a whole computer made in the 50s, but I don't need to know any more. My brain refuses to listen to technical details and just switches off

The average laptop has more processing power than NASA used to put a man on the mood

No way. If I was a geek I would have pointed out your grammatically erroneous use or 'your' instead of 'you're'. But I didn't. See, not a geek then


Oh wait...

I think we need a OcUK Geek list to define the stereotype.

Geek = win
