Am I a nerd?
 
1 Attachment(s)
We were having an argument on my team, and I believe that I have the title nerd. Please vote as to whether or not you think I am a nerd. Please ask questions to better your decision. I attached a picture to help in your choosing.

Thanks for helping me settle this dispute.

Considering that pic and the fact that you started a thread about pi day, yes I would refer to you as a nerd. By the way you beat me to the pi day thread.:D

So does that make me a nerd?

Hmm...Dictionary.com says:
Quote:

nerd –noun Slang.
1. a stupid, irritating, ineffectual, or unattractive person.
2. an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit: a computer nerd.
I'll let you decide for yourself because any response I give might get me in hot water...:yikes:

Re: Am I a nerd?
 
Thank you all. I am relieved to know that I am still a nerd, regardless of what my teamates say. They all claim that you 'don't know me that well', but you all know me better than they do, 223 posts later.

Again, thanks,
Jacob

jacob is not a nerd. i've known him for a few months, and yes he has his moments. but i wouldnt exactly call him a nerd. nope nope. even though the whole pi day thread got posted at exactly 3:14 doesnt mean that he's a nerd, but mearly a person who has a love for numbers. i've spent a minimum of 3 days a week with him for the past 3 months, and i can honestly say that jake is not a nerd.

It was actually 1:59 and 26 seconds. Yes I did do it at 26 seconds, even though it doesn't show. And she has no idea what she is talking about.

techinically since pi is 3.14159265...should it round to 3/14 at 1:59 and 27 seconds? what do you think?

Well, I had the post all laid out before hand, and hit the Submit button when my watch said 53/100ths of a second. Now my watch isn't atomically synced, but it's the thought that counts.

The fact that people are asking questions like this makes me wonder what percentage of people on CD would be classified as 'nerds'...

I might be a nerd, but I am definitely a pi freak!

Re: Am I a nerd?
 
If we want FIRST to go main stream and have the support of the same community that goes to football games and such, it is counter productive to say we are nerds. It doesn't really matter what you think nerd means, and it may be a compliment to you. However, to the rest of society, it carries a negative connotation.

Two cents.

Breakers tripping? The clicking of a limit switch? ...


Btw: I didn't vote.

Lol. Who actually voted no?
