By 'hacker,' are you referring to the definition in the Jargon file or a cracker? Crackers are lame and nothing but rejects. Hackers are geeks/nerds.

I, myself, am a geek. I haven't played sports since my parents let me quit elementary-school baseball (forced to play...man, was that bench ever warm!) I was in band from 4th-11th grade. I know the most about computers in my school (even beating out my school's sysadmin...he didn't know what SQL stood for...sheesh ) I can confuse my entire class in about 10 seconds. And I haven't had a girlfriend...since...uhh...ever

I get called a pothead...which is weird...because I'm not.

And pocket protectors FREAKING RULE!

Geek, nerd, dork...

I have no preference.

Computers, electronics, mechanics... it's all great!

/me wanders back to building a fileserver...

[Ash]

Me, I think geek best works for me... However, the only thing I am ever called is retard, and this is only by my sisters... Gawd I love my family life...

I know what siblinghood can be like. My sister calls me "worm." (after Jasper Wormsworth. A cookie for the one who correctly names the source) For a time, some of her friends didn't know my real name. One of them still doesn't . . .

[Kyle]

I am called a jock by the "nerds" cause i play football and work out
I am called a nerd by the "jocks" cause i have a 3.8-4.0GPA
I am called a geek by the "supernerds" cause im in a Microsoft certification class
I was called a "$@#$@#$@#" by the "jocks cause i was a manger for a cheerleading team(it was great sooooo much fun and Girls everywhere)


But in the end im just Kyle, im not a jock, nerd, geek, or $@#$@#$@#. I like many differant things and have many differant tallents. I dont think we are nerds or geeks, we build robots.


i hope the word "$@#$@#$@#"dosnt upset anyone i dind mean it in a bad way at all

holy resurrected year and a half old threads, batman!

100% dork, not from concentrate... lol... blast from the past =-]

as for the poll, i forgot what i picked... too long ago.

anyway, i think people who put labels on other people are the dorks.

(and if you didn't think that last line was funny, maybe you should be watching an adam sandler movie or somethin instead of reading my posts... k? =-)

[Koko Ed]

I'm just plain strange.

[Kiwi_queen]

well, I'm a band-geek and a choir-nerd already. so lemme choose robo-dork. I can get all the terms in there

[Pin Man]

I don't know what I call myself...

[Melissa H.]

I is a geek. ...although being a dork would work for me too...

[Nick Mac]

Definitely a geek!

[AlbertW]

i'd hafta say geek, though there are some REALLY weird people that call me a "jock" cause i go running every weekend and like soccer

geek qualifications:
i'm in a guys a capella group
i got into show choir
i'm VP on a robotics team
i know how to use linux
i'm on AIM 24/7, even when there's not an internet connection around (can anyone say GPRS? )

I've been told that I'm a nerd by association.

Translation: The "by association" part comes from all my friends who are engineering majors. Apparently I'm surpressing all of my engineering and science genes (trust me, there's a whole lot of them in my family) for law, politics or something like that. Yet, I still maintain my nerdly roots by being on a robotics team, knowing binary code, and best of all: being the only person on my floor who has duct tape...and being able to fix everyone on the floor's problems with that duct tape. They say they'll convert me by the end of the year, I say never.

That duct tape came in mighty handy when you broke your light didnt it Youll be glad next time you break something that you have some mechanical skills.

/me thinks theyll convert you by the end of the year.
