196 = smallest non-lichrel number right?

Actually it is the first or smallest Lychrel number... so close.

that's what I meant. 4 years since I did maths, forgive me for forgetting, never thought I'd need the more obscure stuff.

When you can't get into a regular Gnome session, you have to use failsafe after trying everything you know, and search the forums for help, and then start answering posts helping other people instead.

My computer from 9 years ago: Toshiba Tecra 8000
My current computer: Too many to list
My digital camera from 4 years ago: Nikon Coolpix 2100
My digital camera from 2 years ago: Olympus Camedia D535

You don't have models for computers because you build your own. ;)

You don't have models for computers because you build your own. ;)

Use your motherboard's #.

You know you are a geek when you hook your family on Stargate.

[LaRoza]

When your normal text editor for programming on Windows doesn't work for you (Unicode support was needed) you program a quick editor yourself to use.

I did this today when making this http://laroza.freehostia.com/home/apps/hindi as my editors couldn't handle the Devanagari.

[kaligus]

You don't have models for computers because you build your own. ;)

... When even you dont know whats in your machine because its a frankenbeast pulled together from soooo many dead machines :)

So of course you ask lshw or hwinfo etc. and even they get confused and offer something like "unknown usb device <insert weird name google cant find>" but everything works perfectly anyway!

...later you will find out that your motherboard has some onboard usb to brain connection or that your usb dvd is really a multi-talented tricorder... but that is much later ;)

At Macdonalds, you're ordering a 160MB hamburger




roflmao lol thats when ur infected with geek-agitus lol

[cod3rbro]

You know you're a geek when..

You have used words like "lol", "leet" and "omg" in daily speech
You miss the F1 button under math classes
You say lol instead of laughing.. or you write :D, :P in essays at school
You try yo get into the BIOS of your car
You scream "Just ******* google it" when somebody asks a simple question in the class
You accuse everybody running faster than your self of using speed hack
You've got The Flu and are trying to do a virus check
Somebody asks you about your address, you give them: 192.12.0.140
You are seriously considering asking your doctor how much you can overclock your brain
At Macdonalds, you're ordering a 160MB hamburger
You wish you've ordered your house through Microsoft, it would be so easy to just take the backdoor in..

Cool answers bro, may I use it for other purpose :KS

[cod3rbro]

Hmm ... maybe:

You know you're a geek, when you stop sleeping, because you can't sleep, when there is still something left to code.
It's true...!!!

[scragar]

Hmm ... maybe:

You know you're a geek, when you stop sleeping, because you can't sleep, when there is still something left to code.

Ah, that explains why I've been up @ 5AM coding something that doesn't need to be done for a week then, although I have a habit of passing out at the keyboard after a day or two of that sort of thing(I love it though, since I wake up, role back the strange things I've typed in my sleep, then continue coding exactly what I was doing when I fell asleep without forgetting anything about the code(can't let family+friends know that though, I can forget anything and everything about them in 30 secs, as proven by the fact that the computer reminds me of their impending birthdays/anniversaries/etc every 2 mins until I let it know that I'm prepared(to be used only when you have bought a gift for them :: ))) - (true geeks have no shame about embedding brackets in brackets :P)

Isn't that how you know you're gonna get bleeding eyes?

If you're gonna watch it from the internet, you're better off downloading them from some fansubber's website and watching them in all their HD glory on your big screen TV (which you use as a monitor)

[Toshibawarrior]

My point exactly! People just watch them through streaming websites to avoid huge data downloads and end up screwing their Windows-based computers...Believe me, I know, I've repaired tons of computers that died like that.

[lukjad007]

Pssh. I can beat that from memory.
Proof that 2 = 1:
Given: a = b
a^2 = ab
a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2
(a+b)(a-b) = b(a-b)
a+b = b
a+a = a
2a = a
2 = 1

You know you're a geek if you find the fallacy without Googling.

I know that one. I tried on many of my teachers and only one figured out why it was wrong. What I was doing was making a trig problem for a class.

I don't actualy want an iphone, I'd hate for someone to get in touch with me at any times like that, there's a reason why I have an answering machine, caller ID and the invisible option on pidgin.

Again, that's not being a geek, that's mutiny...

Giving away serial keys for windows should be illegal!...Oops, I guess it is... :p ...but no one cares because everyone copies Windows CDs and download serial keys, cracks and validation hacks...all my friends did. I always had legal copies of Windows, and everyone wanted them...I just told them "Go buy your own!"...Now I guess that makes me a geek doesn't it?...:):p

I've always had one legal copy of every Windows version I used, since 3.1, but usually I installed it on at least three computers. My current XP version is OEM, but I have it working on a laptop and a PC - the latter with a few registry hacks so it doesn't bug me about being a victim of piracy whenever I log on.

[NovruzeliH]

-.- i never had legal copies -.- i just call microsoft and im like uhh i need 2 activate it, they're like is this ur first time and im like yeah -.- they just gimme the activation ID -.- lol, kinda dumb but yeah ok idc, i even asked em for Geniune ID and the guy gave me, and told me to call some number and they will let my pc acces to download the softwares from microsoft that require u Geniune Software, like Media Player 11, IE 7 :p

And you're happy about breaking the law AND using a crappy incomplete OS that can't even run from a filesystem that doesn't fragment itself whenever you write to a file? You, sir, are officially not a geek.

Downright true...MUTINY!!! It's MUTINY I TELL YOU! :p

In windows you need defragmentation, registry cleaning, performance boosting (that never work), formatting hard drive, and anti-malware software just to TRY and make Windows run smoothly...which in 80% of times, fails!

Not to mention how heavy most antivirus suites are (I'm looking at you, Norton!). Most people I know actually prefer to disable them because the viruses do less damage.

vi-rus-es? My computer can catch a cold?

Honestly I have to wonder just how vulnerable windows would be if they adopted a real security model(instead of giving everyone perms, then restricting selected things).

[Toshibawarrior]

That's true...without mentioning names...cough-norton-cough-360-cough...

LOL! Seriously now, suites like Norton 360, Kaspersky IS and System Mechanic, just to mention a few, wrap up the CPU and RAM on useless processes and add that to Vista's Aero and you have a totally useless RAM because it's eaten up by junk.

and then there is Ubuntu this OS has been good to me no real bad bugs, viruses, slow performance, and it's not bloated i still have room on my 30GB HDD that the OS is residing on

You know you're a geek when the closest you get to physical, emotionally intense brute action is this:

killall civilization

and laugh uncontrolably and then write about it... Σ(;-D)

Ya funny story about that.
My cousin wanted me to be his DD one Friday night. He interrupted me while I was trying to get mythtv compiled from source. So off to the clubs we go, once there i find the most favorable wallflower table sit down and continue to analyze why the *** program wont work. I happened to be staring at this girls legs and nice legs they were although I didn't notice at the time. All of a sudden their is this girl touching my arm and the leg girl sits down beside me and asks me how I am doing. I reply with a starteled look at which point my flight/fight reflex kicks in and I get up and walk across the street and wait for my cousin in the coffee shop. Now for the realy geeky part my only regret in this was that from leg girls perspective that must have been a very harsh rejection.

You know your a geek when you were not apauled by the geekiness of the latter paragraph. :)

[quantum-positron]

you know you are an absent mided geek when you spend 15 minutes troubleshooting your network when you cant connect to your spare pc only to discover that you forgot to turn it on when you plugged you tv tuner into it.

Ya funny story about that.
My cousin wanted me to be his DD one Friday night. He interrupted me while I was trying to get mythtv compiled from source. So off to the clubs we go, once there i find the most favorable wallflower table sit down and continue to analyze why the *** program wont work. I happened to be staring at this girls legs and nice legs they were although I didn't notice at the time. All of a sudden their is this girl touching my arm and the leg girl sits down beside me and asks me how I am doing. I reply with a starteled look at which point my flight/fight reflex kicks in and I get up and walk across the street and wait for my cousin in the coffee shop. Now for the realy geeky part my only regret in this was that from leg girls perspective that must have been a very harsh rejection.

Oh my! I know I'm geek, but I would never have the flight reflex to overtake the sex drive what would kick in at the same moment. (Especially when I had a few beers already)
Unless of course she is not pretty... but if she has nice legs, she has at least one good attribute already!

The whole binary thing is over used. There's a whole thread on it.
I bet there is... though I don't see any use for it.

P.S. Sorry if you wanted to keep the code "secret", I will remove decodings if you ask!

when a friend describes their computer symptoms and your swift calculations lead to the conclusiion that it would be quicker and easier to drive 27 miles (each way) through Los Angeles 'rush-hour' traffic than to talk them through the corrective procedures.

Well, if the friend is a hot chick I go and after doing the fix I remain at her house for a while.

You know your a geek when you use a beta version of anything.

I get far more enjoyment from trying to find a difficult problem, rather than actually fixing the problem, that still counts though, right?

Right. As long as it's for the geekiosity and not for the money.

You know your a geek when you wonder if it can be built from source.

[BLTicklemonster]

Okay, here's my way of knowing I'm a geek:

I emailed a rickroll. Yep, in outlook you know you can insert links, well a buddy sent me an email with some link I can't remember, so I sent him back a reply with something like, "aw man, did you see this on the same site?" and used the link he'd sent me as the text to show in the hyperlink, only I changed the end of the url to something like /islamic-version-of-batman.html and of course had the youtube link to rick in the hyperlink.

Btw, you can do it in gmail or hotmail, too. I just happened to have been at work using outlook when I did it.

So yeah, dammit, I'm a geek and proud of it. Now hand me some tape, my glasses are falling apart again.

[BLTicklemonster]

.. in retrospect, I think I'm worse off than I originally thought.

One of my favorite things to say about someone who's old is:

He's so old he remembers how to compile dirt.

[sci-fi guy]

Yep, in outlook you know you can insert links...

OK, who here would be surprised if that functionality wasn't in Outlook?

Well, I suppose it is MS, after all.

I see people through the window and when they come to the door for some reason, but I rarely step outside or go to meet people in person, I go to the cinema once every month or two, when something good is on, groceries are delivered, and I've had to go to the bank and work a few times(work gtom home unless something comes up, like having to meet a client in person, hate having to do that, why can't we just video chat if you want to see me? much easier)

NO. You do not need money to be a geek. My geekhood developed because I could not buy anything. So I googled for alternative ways of doing things (Making/mounting ISOs rather than buying an extra CD Drive, Gimp/OpenOffice rather than Photoshop/MS Office... I eventually moved to openSUSE because pirating Windows felt wrong, but I wasn't about to pay for it.)

You watch 2001: A Space Odyssey and think "I could write a better bot than that!"
You hear compile and input "Did you use GCC for that?"
You are able to recite what each basic folder does in Linux's file structure by heart.
You dream of meeting Linux Torvalds, and when you finally meet him, you faint.
You make sure that everything will run as fast as possible on your pre-compiled distro by recompiling all the installed packages and reducing the options to a bare minimum.

Another one inspired by the last post:

that sort of thing has been bounced around way too many times, could the OP edit the post to let people know that "if you read this thread" style posts are more common than spots on a geeky teenager.

kill works only on a process ID.
killall works on all processes of a given EXACT name
pkill works on any single(using -n or -o for newest and oldest respectivly) or all process who's names match a given pattern
xkill is a graphic killing tool, handy if you can't ID an offending process actualy.

I've written one or 2 above that limit, but since I tend to keep my code short and efficient as opposed to larger and verbose it doesn't happen much. What's a bigger judge of program quality is complexity, a small script may let me convert an XML file to a GUI in perl using GTK, yet it would by no means be considered a large program, even if it's a difficult and impressive peice of code(come on, own up, who else finds GTK just a little bit annoying?)

When you write an email to the LanSchool Dev team telling them how bad their software is and how easy it is to get past it... Then list all the problems and have a detailed explanation on how to fix, include and or improve them.

[LaRoza]

When you get excited when you write a program over 1,000 lines. (I know I do)

That is easy. Now the geeky thing to do is to shorten it to 300.

You know your a geek when you shut off the lights to go to bed and you can count about 15 LED's lighting the room from all your various devices still running as you sleep.

Plus it is quite good. But I tend to stick tape over all of my LEDs, if I don't it is like I'm sleeping in space among blue, red and a green stars.

You know you are a geek when you only watch a movie once. You listen to them from your computer whenever your family watches them after that.

[schauerlich]

You know you are a geek when you only watch a movie once.

My grandpa won't watch a movie more than once or reruns on TV, and he's the farthest thing from a geek you can get.

There is this particularly annoying one on my motherboard that I have had to cover with blue-tak.

blue-tak? lol a little extreme don't you think?

[ad_267]

When you think SciPy/NumPy/pylab are the most awesome things ever.

[talsemgeest]

It is a sticky-outy LED so tape doesn't cover it well enough. But this works nicely.

ok well that makes sense. btw whats the LED on?

[mordak13]

There is this particularly annoying one on my motherboard that I have had to cover with blue-tak.

I have one of those on the front of my tower, it was like a flash light LED and left a round 12" circle on the opposite wall when you turn out the lights. I covered it with a small piece of cardboard and electrical tape. :lolflag:

[talsemgeest]

ok well that makes sense. btw whats the LED on?
The bottom-right-hand corner of my motherboard, it is on whenever the power is on. Only problem is, it shines through the transparent panel on my chasis and lights up the whole wall at night.

A real geek would have used his soldering iron and replaced the led by the equivalent diode.

[scragar]

If it's not broke, then you haven't tried to improve it hard enough
I thought is was "If it's not broke, don't fix it".
pttht, well maybe it was once, but I improved it.
You have had experienced both ends of this sort of convo.

[sci-fi guy]

You have had experienced both ends of this sort of convo.

I preferIf it ain't broke, fix it till it is.

When you don't count things in lines or words, but bytes and bits.

this is wrong?

When you get excited when you write a program over 1,000 lines. (I know I do)

its much more exciting to write a program less than 1000 lines :)

When you remember your password off by heart and type it whenever you launch sudo, forgetting the 15-minute timeout.

Does remembering my first password from 1978 count?

How about remembering any password from years ago?

no i believe that would make you a fan boy of both apple and M$ and thats an average person so that would be more along the lines of "You know your not a geek when...." or "you know your a cooperate fanboy when......"

all except the first 2 of course

[bjschuma]

You know you're a geek when your first words were "Hello, world"

[Joeb454]

Or printf("Hello World!"); was the first thing you ever wrote

LoL, I guess you're right...sorry about that one ;)...

Anyways, you also know you're a geek when you start arguing about the benefits of having a Linux distro installed instead of Windows, and end up losing the argument because the other person has ground-breaking proof that Windows is in fact "better" (for his/her use of course).

AND you're also a geek when you have a pocket-pc and try to push Ubuntu into it...:p

That only happens if the need is gaming, which isn't a need, it's a want.

A real reason for losing said arguments is that the person doesn't understand difference between free software as in freedom, and free software as in illegal. I hate when you want to start explaining this to people, it's impossible, they just don't understand...

Absolutely correct...it's impossible, people seem to think that there's more software for Windows, and they don't seem to care about open-source because they have free programs on their Windows-based PCs...illegally of course...In fact some of my friends say that open-source software is even more dangerous than viruses found in Windows...*sigh*...I hate arguing about this sort of things...

I used to be one of those OMG-I-hate-open-source-software-Windows-is-better guys, but I saw the light like a year ago...I deleted almost all of my Windows-related documents, software, and logs...even the software I purchased had a horrible death...:p...

I hate Windows now...:)!!!

Oh and btw, you know you're a geek if you wwere one of the lucky ones to have an original Nintendo GameBoy on your school...

I was the only with one of those back in elementary school...lol :p!

yeah you end up just hurting yourself cuz they don't have the mental capacity to understand [for example: my moms pc has a virus so to keep all the other pc's for getting infected we unplugged my moms pc from the router until it "gets better"] i was like wtf its not like a human virus it can't be spread it that way it got it from downloading something from a shady site

[scragar]

Is it strange to have(and had since early on in the consoles life) 2 clasic gameboys, a game gear, complete with TV attachment and the rom attachment for the gameboy clasic(along with any rom editor of any kind, I found a nice one for one of the mario games, and one for one of the pokemon games as well, back when such things were popular anyway(very fun hacking the game, even if you didn't enjoy the origional game)).

Shame the software was windows only, didn't run all that well under wine, or I would've kept it...

[Joeb454]

I'll have you know I still enjoy playing the Pokemon gameboy games.

They're an essential holiday tool kit, they pass the time when there's nothing to do :)

[scragar]

I never said there weren't good, or even that I didn't enjoy them, I only said that hacking them is far more fun that the games themselves. I'm currently playing sapphire, got a ruby save, gonna trade a few things around once I get further into the game, evolve a few pokemon in new ways(alakazam, steelix etc, the ones that can only be gotten in trade and as a result cause much annoyance)

[lxevolution]

I know I'm a geek when I press the tab key after first 3 letters of every word in a paper, hoping that the sentence will auto complete itself...

[Joeb454]

I do that on the forums :)

tab no work on browsers, it hops between feilds :( shame it's not possible to change that behaviour though, firefox uses a dict, why can't it autocomplete? bump (oops, wrong thread :P)

You know you are a geek when you change your 25-character WPA2 passphrase weekly.

(OK, so I only have a 15-character passphrase that I haven't changed for a while)

[darth_indy]

You know you're a geek when, after taking a two week vacation, away from all internet (Please don't remind me), you are overjoyed to find there are five more pages of "you know you're a geek when" to read.

BTW, I have read all 325 pages.

Also, you know you're a geek when, on aforementioned two week internet vacation which consisted of volunteering at church summer camp, you:

* find the only other geeks out of the 200 people there, and carry on hours of conversation about various geeky things (i.e. the physics of the Star Wars universe)
* After finding the other geeks, you all pull out your laptops and external hard drives that you couldn't leave home without, and have a huge music swap, easily tripling the size of your tune collection
* At this church camp, during morning Bible study, you use your laptop as your Bible and notebook (Of course, I use it as such for any and all Bible studies, or when I take notes during a sermon, it's just more noticeable when you're in a church camp out in the middle of nowhere, sitting around a campfire).

You con't find a comb anywhere in your house, so you clean off one of the 10 spare heatsinks you have lying around your room and use that... actually not as painful as you'd expect. ;)

Guilty as charged.


When you remember your password off by heart and type it whenever you launch sudo, forgetting the 15-minute timeout.

My password is what spupy described as "beatiful UI, powerful engine", hence why I know it by heart.
